It can be tough to share your virtual book tour spots with your fans. You can post at Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, your Web site and still not reach everyone in your network – or new readers.

BookTour.com is a free service that allows authors to connect directly with readers. This site allows you to post book signings, virtual book tour stops, reading engagements and more. There is also a button that allows readers to request a visit from you.

Readers do not have to be in your immediate are to visit. You can always do a conference call, or use Instant Messaging or SKYPE for a personal visit.

If you don't already, set up your account at BookTour.com and start sharing. You MUST have an ISBN number to post.

HOT TIP: Use BookTour or another service as the singular venue to post book tour information. Post a graphic and link to your BookTour account on your social networks and Web site so readers will always find your book tour information. This will save you time since you will only need to enter your information on one site for each engagement.
