How Can I Promote My Book? - CandySweets - 05-01-2013 05:57 PM

I wrote a book and it hasn't been published yet, nor have I brought it to an agent or publisher. I was wondering if I should promote it on any blog sites or social media sites before I attempt to find a publisher, because maybe if I have followers/likes it will grab the book attention. Is this a good idea? And what sites can I use to promote my book?

A free blog like Google's Blogger.com may make a worthwhile dedicated site for the book, optionally you can spend $112/yr for a custom domain name a $60 - $96 paid host may be overkill.

John Locke is a famous Kindle author who says he used his blog to build an audience and sell his book. This can work very well for a self published author but it isn't necessary if you get published by traditional publishing company.
