Promotion of new books has just come of age thanks to a new tool called Virtual Book tours. In the past authors would travel from town to town and bookseller to bookseller to sign and promote their book. Now they can sit in their own living room with a telephone and achieve better results by conducting a teleseminar. A teleseminar is essentially a large conference call where the author is interviewed and the call is listened to by hundreds of people.

The power of the Virtual Book Tour allows the author to capture much more exposure and increase their market reach through the re-purposing of these teleseminars over and over again in contrast to the time-limiting and high costs of travel and print promotion. Indeed authors who self publish or do not have a contract with a large publisher can see the most return on their time and their investment.

This strategy allows you to sell more books, more often and to more people while limiting your cost outlay, a concern for sure for new authors. It is simple, you are interviewed over the telephone in the comfort of your own surroundings where you can talk about your book. The subsequent recording can be heard live by individuals who are targeted and invited to attend the call by calling in at a pre-determined time or by listening to the recorded call at the time of their choosing, versus visiting a book store at a time of someone else's choosing.

This methodology has been used by many authors to gain exposure for their books. The recent bestseller by Tim Ferriss,-The 4 Hour Workweek was promoted like this and brought unknown authors from obscurity to the New York Times Bestseller List. Others to use the strategy effectively have included Donald Trump, Jack Canfield,Mark Victor Hansen,and Julie Andrews.

The common link to these authors and their success has been Alex Mandossian who has taught thousands of students. He is San Francisco based, and provides superior marketing training with his Virtual Book Tour Secrets program .
