Do Blog Tours Still Work & How To Do One

Have you wondered if Blog Tours 

are things that have become passe?

A good blog tour is a fine way to build your brand 

and establish some credentials with your target audience. 

If you can get on blogs and websites that actual READERS follow, 

then it is a great way of overcoming the "unknown author" problem. 

Blog tours generally don't equate to a huge uptick in immediate sales. 

 Rather, they raise awareness of you and your brand with the audience. 

Someone may not be looking to buy your book that very second, 

but the next time they go to buy a book they will be more likely to think of you.

THERE IS NO MAGIC PATH TO SUCCESS 

All we can do is knock on as many doors as possible.  Blog Tours are an excellent way to do that.

But each post must be different, must be entertaining, 

and must be aligned with the theme and motif of the blog you are visiting.

There must be some worthwhile reward for each visitor to each post.
