			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was out of town last week, in the Gloucester/Rockport, Massachusetts, area. Unfortunately I was not able to access the internet or my email, something was wrong with the wireless networking card in my laptop; it was quite frustrating &#8230; Anyway, I&#8217;m way behind in tying up the final details of the <strong>10-Day, 10-Stop Virtual Book Tour Challenge</strong>. Check out the <a href="http://wffrederick.com/blog/virtual-book-tour" target="_blank"><strong>Virtual Book Tour page</strong></a> for updates as host bloggers continue to confirm their dates.</p>
<p>Today I want to let you in on two items involving the virtual book tour.</p>
<p><em><strong>First,</strong></em> during the virtual book tour I will be discussing all aspects of virtual book tours, particularly how to organize your own virtual book tour. If you&#8217;d like to participate in the tour discussion and have a question you&#8217;d like me to answer, maybe I didn&#8217;t explain something clearly enough in the <strong><a href="http://wffrederick.com/blog/2008/07/08/day-1-setting-up-a-virtual-book-tour-in-5-days-challenge.html" target="_self">Challenge Videos</a>,</strong> visit: <a href="http://myvirtualbooktoursecrets.com/ask-me-a-question.html" target="_blank">http://myvirtualbooktoursecrets.com/ask-me-a-question.html</a>, and submit your question. Why not visit his web site now while it&#8217;s still fresh in your mind? I will be sure to answer your questions during one of the stops on the tour.</p>
<p><em><strong>Second,</strong></em> followers of the tour can win a free copy of, <strong>“My Virtual Book Tour Secrets.”</strong> For rules and to learn how you can win your own copy, visit the<strong> “Win a Copy”</strong> page at: <a href="http://myvirtualbooktoursecrets.com/win-a-copy.html" target="_blank">http://myvirtualbooktoursecrets.com/win-a-copy.html</a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for today &#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, Massachusetts was beautiful, all except for the sand fleas and the green-head flies (their bite draws blood, ouch!). Got to do a little sightseeing while I was there too. Maybe I&#8217;ll post some photos after the tour.</p>
<p>Until next time &#8230;</p>
<p><em>No day without a line!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally made it to Day-5! I thought today would never get here &#8230;</p>
<p>Did I succeed in setting up my <strong>10-Day, 10-Stop Virtual Book Tour?</strong> I don&#8217;t know yet. It&#8217;s still early in the day and I&#8217;ve got several more bloggers to contact. Check <a href="http://wffrederick.com/blog/virtual-book-tour" target="_blank">here for itinerary updates</a>.</p>
<p>In this video <strong>I review the previous 8 steps</strong> in setting up a virtual book tour and then I show you the email I use to contact bloggers asking if they&#8217;d be interested in participating in my virtual book tour. I explain each section of the email and why it&#8217;s included. You don&#8217;t want to skip a paragraph. I encourage you to copy my email formula, not my words. Put your personality into your email, you&#8217;ll be more successful.</p>

<p>Good luck in <strong>setting up your own virtual book tour</strong>.</p>
<p>If you have any questions don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me. I&#8217;ll be glad to help you in any way that I can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Day 4! We&#8217;re over the hump &#8230; but we still have a lot to cover before the Challenge is over, so get your pen and paper out. Ready?</p>
<p>Today’s lesson is <strong>Step 8: Determining a Blogs BR</strong>. In this first video I explain my <strong>Blog Rank (BR) Formula</strong> and how it works. When you&#8217;re ready click play &#8230;</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1PqXlc7zLU" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u1PqXlc7zLU"></embed></object></p>
<p>In this video I demonstrate <em><strong>the BR Formula in action</strong></em> and show you how to evaluate the blogs that we&#8217;ve been receiving in our Google Alerts emails. Once you get the hang of it you should be able to evaluate and categorize 10 blogs in about 30 minutes.</p>
<p>Whenever you&#8217;re ready, click play &#8230;</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C2q2JCPTmQ8" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C2q2JCPTmQ8"></embed></object></p>
<p>Tomorrow in Step 9, we finally start contacting blog owners! I&#8217;ll show you the email I send them that gets around an 83% positive response rate. After you get good at determining a blog&#8217;s BR, you may even get a higher response.</p>
<p>That’s all for today. I&#8217;ll see you tomorrow.</p>
<p>Until next time …</p>
<p><em>No day without a line.</em></p>
