Sometimes these bad luck events just string together (in threes, fours, or fives, as the case may be...) and then we get to go back to our complacency and routines. I've found that a combination of virtual touring and hitting the local wineries for book signings is the most profitable, and far more so than at bookstores, where I have way too much competition! LOL. Find a spot you love where people come happy and with fat billfolds, get in good with the owners, get an open invitation to sell/sign, give away some freebies (I give away my art photos in poster form), and life is good. Guaranteed sales and a nice glass of cold Riesling at hand at all times. It works! Best of luck with your books and future tours and thanks for guest blogging here at MB4.Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-1333415070235268812008-07-19T10:53:00.000-04:002008-07-19T10:53:00.000-04:00Enjoyed your tale of woe.

It's a pleasure to be one of your virtual book tour hosts!<BR/><BR/>With the release of my second book looming up ahead (fall 2008), I'm wearing my marketing/promotion hat again too. I must admit, my strategies seem a bit more "organized" this time around. What a difference a year and a little experience makes.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck on your tour and with your book!Marta Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126647102399666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-75648281877210135212008-07-18T13:30:00.000-04:002008-07-18T13:30:00.000-04:00This is a great article Bob.
