One of the best ways to start promoting your book is by using Social Media sites. You want to make use of Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn and you may want to consider using Pinterest if you have images and photos that you can share.
Twitter is great for setting up a campaign that offers short messages. You can easily write up 30 messages and schedule them to automatically Tweet out for you over the course of a month. These Tweets should be promotional and could include short snippets from your book.
Twitter Parties are a fun way to attract attention to your new book. Use hashtags to promote your party and provide guests with a reason to attend. Holding a Q&A session is a great option for this.
On Facebook you can create a Page for your book or use your main account if you want to brand your author name. Again you can share quotes and images from your book and you can even share your affiliate link to your sales page.
Remember that on social sites you want to do a ton of sharing. So it is a great idea to share a little about how you became an author, what inspired you to write this book and more. You could even go into more details with your characters from the book. This would work extremely well for a fiction book, you could offer tidbits that are not totally obvious in your book.
Pinterest can be used to create a visual story board of your book. If your book is fiction then this can really attract attention to your book. You could develop your characters on your boards and include more information about them. All of this would be done with photos and images. You could display their likes and dislikes along with their favorite foods and more. All you need is a little imagination to develop this marketing method.
The main problem with social sites is that they can eat up your time. So allocate a certain amount of time each day to spend on your sites. You can also automate your posts on these sites by using tools such as Hootsuite and Buffer.
