Book marketing is a mystery to most writers. Many believe that their book will be discovered almost automatically. But that's just not the case. You need to start the momentum if you want to get noticed. Let's go over some very powerful things you can do to get the ball rolling:Build a quick blog: You can do this for free at Blogger. You don't need to get fancy. A blog is a way to let people know who you are and what your book is about. It's also going to be your Landing Page for the traffic you send from Twitter and many other places. A blog will begin the relationship between you and your fans.
Press Release: This is something that will get you noticed. A Press Release has a certain authority to it, and people will take you seriously. You can use free or paid services. I suggest you use a paid service that is inexpensive and effective. Remember, you want to write like a journalist, not a salesman. Write like the guy discovering a great new book that he wants to tell everyone about.
Get Social: Use the power of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg, and more. Email all your friends and family, Digg your blog, create a Fan Group on Facebook for your book. Do everything you can to get noticed and get attention. This is the beginning of the momentum. Once things get rolling, blogs and forums will take notice and add to the momentum for you.
Get a Guide: Follow a plan and stick with it. Get people on your side to help you each and every day push your book out to the world.
