Sometimes the VBT and a particular book are not a good match, for whatever reason, but the author is still looking to find new publicity avenues for their book. In these situations, we offer three alternatives.
Consulting. Sometimes all it takes is another head for publicity opportunities, both online and off. For $100 Tour director Kevin Smokler consults with authors both in person (San Francisco Bay Area) and via telephone. Consultations take the shape you like from hashing out a full marketing plan to simply assessing where you are in your promotional efforts and how you can expand your audience in a way consistent with the spirit of your book.
Blogmatching. For a per blog fee, the VBT will match up your book with blogs who would be interested in reading and discussing it.
Workshopping. Kevin Smokler lectures and leads workshops throughout North America on Virtual Book Touring, online promotion and grass roots marketing. Perhaps you'd like him to speak to your writers group, class or conference? Please see his speaking services page or get in touch.
