Can someone please tell me what this means? I'm new to all this blog business.

it's when you do a virtual 'tour' by having your guest posts put on someone else's blog site, or they interview you or review your book... you put a string of them together, promote it, and it's cheaper than actually going to book signings out in the real world... Armand Rosamilia
One blog at a time... I have been doing them for years, I love when other authors give me a guest blog for my website... you need to find blogs you like that will do it and their readers might like your book.Armand
So, let me see if I understand this. You put blogs from other websites onto your website? That's a blog tour?
No, you put your posts on other websites... they host them for you, so you can get in front of their followers and new people see you...
The guest piece can be a post, an author interview or a book review. I'm just finishing up my first using Orangeberry Book tours to arrange it While it has been a good experience I am now planning o e on my own.
Oh! Okay. So someone else invites you to their website to put one of your posts, and interview or a book review?
