Day 1: Setting Up a Virtual Book Tour in 5-Days Challenge

It’s finally here … Day 1 of the I Can Set-up a 10-Day, 10-Stop Virtual Book Tour in 5-Days Challenge, event that I’m hosting on Facebook. This was suppose to be posted this morning but, I’ve been unable to get my computer to record the audio portion of my video. I ended up having to pick up a different microphone to record these videos. Don’t you just love technology?

Anyway, in this clip we “begin with the end in mind” and do a little backwards planning in setting up our virtual book tours.

In Step-1, we review and set S.M.A.R.T. Goals for our virtual book tours.

In Step-2, we give our virtual book tour a name and discuss its importance in tracking posts and getting readers to our virtual book tours.

Finally, in Step-3 we decide how long our virtual book tour will be and block out the time on our calendars or planners.

Don’t skip over these 3 steps, they may appear simple, insignificant even, but the success of your virtual book tour begins on a solid foundation.

Tomorrow we’ll put steps 4, 5 and 6 in motion.

Until then …

No day without a line.

    Really nicely done, informational vid, Bill!

    I like you way the lay out the Virtual Book Tour plan step-by-step and then explain the major considerations and parameters to be incorporated.
