Hi, Ed,
 

I found another good page for marketing.

Marketing Tips-02
 
   Here are some suggestions you may wish to consider when marketing your own work:
 
           Start a website for your work (and other upcoming publications)
           Attend book conferences to stay up with trends
           Ask for reviews of your work from friends and other authors. Request that these   reviews be posted on various sites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Good reads, and other literary sites
           Join the various social media sites and publicize your work under Facebook, Linked in, YouTube, Google +, Twitter and others.
           Join business referral groups and author marketing through Meet up, Linked in or start your own specific group.
           Check the search engines for sites specifically constructed for authors to get assistance in marketing such as this one www.wordsandwriters.com
           Ask libraries to offer presentations on your work
           Get a hook – something that makes your book different from all others
           Create videos to post to You Tube.
           Send out press releases to the media with every book signing, presentation or appearance
           Blog often on your own site as well as being a guest blogger on another author’s website
           Spend time on what you love so make time to write.
 
Most of all, try to be patient in your quest for sales.  Your book and the momentum you will create with your marketing plan will take some time to show results.  All of your hard work will eventually pay off soon.
