What is a VBT? Get ready to create a buzz about your book!

A Virtual Blog Tour (VBT) is an online “event” where an author “visits” a different blog each day during a specified period of time. For instance, if your VBT was 7 days long, you/your book  would visit 7 blogs, and each blog host would be assigned a specific day on the tour. Each day consists of a different gift of information. An excerpt from your book, radio show, video, review, author interview, podcast or something else we create together.

Being  a VBT host has many benefits:

1. It provides bloggers with easy, original content for their readers.
2. Because an organized team of bloggers is sending out updates for each stop on the tour, it has the potential to drive 1000s of new readers to each blog.
3. It helps increase search engine rankings for the blogs, as the blog is linked to, both forwards and backwards, the other blogs on the tour.
4. Bloggers on the tour get to connect with new bloggers who share common interests and speak to similar audiences.
