All You Need Is A Good Idea!

VIRTUAL TOUR. DAY FIVE

All good things must come to an end. So this is the final day of my virtual tour.

Today we are going to Seattle, where Karin Koonings has told me she will be doing a non-traditional hosting; no questions, no answers. Sounds intriguing, and we all might learn something.  Take a look.

This has been a very stimulating week for me. Met some great, smart folk and think I even sold a few books.

And next week should be interesting also, as I celebrate my blogiversary.

Please visit. Without you, like a tree falling in the forest,  my blog makes no noise at all.

VIRTUAL TOUR. DAY FOUR

Time flies when you are having a virtual tour. And today is suddenly day four, where we find ourselves in Tennessee, with Peter Durand conducting today’s interview. His emphasis is on social media and I am not certain I gave him the answers he expected. We can find out together.

Again, let me know what you think.

For a complete list of the tour sites, visit Paul Williams at idea sandbox, who did a great job in setting up the whole tour.

VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR. DAY 3

Today we are traveling to Illinois, where Scott Hodge will lead the conversation. (And it is only a conversation if you add your thoughts, questions and comments.)

A virtual book tour is like an actual book tour, but with less fuss, travel and weather problems. At least for me. As for you, just show up anytime, take a seat, enjoy (your own) coffee, and ask questions or give comments, without even having to raise your hand.

If you missed Monday or Tuesday's stops, just visit Charles Whitmire and Katie Konrath. Both offer great insights into the creative process.

VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR DAY 2...PLUS JILL’S BOOK LAUNCH

Busy day here at the blog.
First, there are some interesting questions and answers about my book at Katie Konrath’s site, Get Fresh Minds.  Head on over for her thoughts and interview and let me know what you think.

Also, my fellow author, Jill Griffin, has written a new loyalty book, Taming the Search-and-Switch Customer. Buy her book today from Amazon, and you’ll receive 15 bonuses, including a never before published chapter from my book, All You Need Is A Good Idea!

And let us not forget this book:

VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR. DAY ONE

Join the tour. It is a post about my book, All You Need Is A Good Idea! with various bloggers around the country, one each day this week, from people with different backgrounds, interests and viewpoints.

Interviews, Q&A, comments, discussions...all about small business and good ideas. (Isn't that why you're here?)

Today's stop is at the blog of Charles Whitmire. He provided some very probing questions. I gave some very adequate answers.

Check it out, and let me know what you think of the tour.

Let's Go On A Trip Together

You are invited to join me on my book tour next week. And the best part is that you don’t have to fly, drive or even bicycle to get there. It is a virtual book tour, taking place entirely on your computer, though we will be stopping in Texas, Illinois, Tennessee, Seattle and Minnesota (no raincoats needed). Paul Williams, at idea-sandbox.com was kind enough to set it up—much thanks—and I know you will enjoy it.
How it works is that each blog along the way has sent me questions about my book, my blog and good marketing ideas in general. So if you are a small business interested in insightful questions and acceptable answers about the creative process and how it can help you stand out in the marketplace, spend some time next week with us. The schedule is below, and I can guarantee that the questions at each tour stop are amazingly diverse.
