“Never invent, always improve.”

This four-word sentence is indelibly etched in my mind right now. I also have that quote framed and hanging on the wall of my home office.

The marketing philosophy of choosing improvement over invention has generated millions of dollars for my info publishing business and my students’ businesses.

November 20th, 2002 was an important day for me.

On that evening, I drove into the Book Passage (bookstore) parking lot in Corte Madera, CA and I met Al and Tipper Gore during their live “physical” book signing. I was shocked when I discovered that they only sold a few hundred books. I knew there had to be a better way.

The better way to sell books or info products is a Virtual Book Tour … which has been the topic of this video blog and my 4-module series.

Since 2002, I’ve conducted nearly a hundred Virtual Book Tours (”VBTs”). And today, I charge almost $5K to interview authors (for 60 minutes) and mail my online list on their behalf.

If you’re reading this before June 5th at 6pm Pacific (9pm Eastern), that evening I’m hosting a live Preview Call for my VBT teleseries and I want you to attend.

If you register before the dealine, you’ll save $79 on your tuition as a result of reading this blog post with this Discount Code: gabe1025.
