The next step up is the VBW Friend Factory. If you already have a social media presence but would like to take it to the next level, this is the package for you!

The Virtualbookworm Super Social Package includes the VBW Book Trailer and spreads the word about you and your book(s) across the social networks.
This gets you set up on MySpace and two other sites, usually Facebook and NING. We invite followers by hand (no automation) to help build your network. Once we get you 500 friends on MySpace, we run a promotion around your book trailer, which will be on YouTube and many other platforms.
But even if you haven’t worked with these social platforms, there’s nothing to worry about. As part of this package, we will even TRAIN YOU how to use them and show you the most effective ways to do so!
This package also gives you the VBW Social Biz Card.
You can spread your biz card across the social networks to your friends and invite them to spread it as well. The potential exposure given by your Social Biz Card is unlimited!
Price: $2,500
