My blog tour, featuring the Klepto Cat Mystery series ran all last week. What were the results? Unlike my first blog tour in February, the results were not all that tangible—not yet, anyway. Last time, sales doubled during the week of the tour. That was exciting! This time, that didn’t happen. But that doesn’t mean this tour bombed.
Over four dozen people left comments at the various blog stops. So that’s around 50 new people who know about and are interested in the five books in the Klepto Cat Mystery series. One can assume that there are three to ten times that many who saw the reviews and guest blogs at my blog stops, and didn’t comment.
Add to that the number of potential readers who saw the promo at my facebook page, on twitter, at my blog sites, and the 2,000 who received my latest enewsletter. Remember, exposure is gold to authors. Exposure results in immediate sales, future sales, and residual sales. No efforts to gain exposure are wasted. And the more exposure you can get for your book, the more chances for those coveted sales.
Take every opportunity to get exposure for your book—to promote it before an audience, blog visitors, festival attendees, individuals you meet, etc.
There’s one more stop on my blog tour. Tomorrow, Brenda at WV Stitcher will post my guest post about how I came to write about cats. I think you’ll enjoy it. Be sure to stop in! http://www.kittycrochettwo.blogspot.com
