It’s all about creating a buzz.
TLC Book Tours is a service providing online virtual book tours to authors. For a minimal amount of money, time, and travel, an author can gain exposure to thousands of potential readers.
Virtual book tours are a promotional tool for authors to connect with readers via social media. At TLC Book Tours, we customize each tour. We seek to reach a targeted audience that would be predisposed to enjoying your book. We work closely with authors to determine their target market and rely on their input. We’ve built relationships with hundreds of bloggers, Bookstagram and BookTok hosts, and are constantly making new connections every day.
Authors have reported increased traffic on their websites from our tours and an upswing in their Amazon rankings. It’s hard to gauge the direct impact on sales, but there is always a ripple effect from our tours. Other influencers hear about a book, seek it out, and read and review it weeks or months later, starting the cycle all over again.
Internet publicity has become a tremendous tool for authors in this tight economy due in part to its cost effectiveness, but also due to the trend of how people get their information. As newspapers around the country face bankruptcy and book review sections in print shrink or disappear, there are fewer resources available to authors to get the word out about their work. People turn to the Internet for their news and information, taking their internet connections with them everywhere they go via cell phones, laptops, etc. One of the biggest advantages to a virtual tour vs. a ‘real life’ tour is that the book’s exposure lives on in search engines and social media archives indefinitely.
A book needs to have an online presence if it is to be noticed, and TLC Book Tours is here to help your book achieve that presence.
We accept payment by cash, check, or credit card via PayPal.
