website promotion guide

Any ideas on promoting the book?

I published a novel and have worked hard to Internet advertising and elsewhere. Yes Please http://www.philipspires.co.uk check out to see the proof! He also made a guide that is distributed free to the author – and I'll put on my site – with ideas on how self-promotion. Could you help by sharing what you have done that may include in the guide? Consider the guide is free and accessible to all. There is no profit motive, ony the desire to help other writers. Thanks Philip Spiers

Some suggestions: Some of what you do depends on gender, but not always. I belong to an online group discussion and mystery of the authors give some free copies of the book to those who promise to review and / or forward to someone else to read. Cast thy bread upon waters, so to speak, if it is a good book, then produces mouth advertising is one of best advertising. Visit bookstores and do book signings, but most leave the ego at the door. Do not pressure people, be friendly and, above all, be kind to the bookstore manager or owner and employees. Be nice: did a Please. And if you want to remind him and his book, when a customer comes looking. Also visit the public library and offer to do a reading and / or signature.
