Blogging about it is a start. You can blog excerpts of your book, maybe 1-2 paragraph teasers. You can also blog contests and giveaways, which will help boost your exposure in the writer community. Contests such as giving a copy away if they follow you on Twitter, on Blogspot, comment on your blog and tweet your book contest. Stuff like that really works! You can set it up through http://www.rafflecopter.com/ Nope, I'm in no way affiliated with them whatsoever!!!<br /><br />You can also build up your exposure by beginning to comment on other people's blogs. Believe me when I say this: You'll make friends pretty quick that way and they just might promote your book for you without any effort on your part!<br /><br />You can also set up blogs featuring your characters and then tweet quotes from the characters to promote the book. Of course, you'll be tweeting in character, you didn't expect your characters to do it for you, right? LOL<br /><br />Another popular activity to participate are the blog hops you see around blogspot. There are many. Right now there's a big one that is called A-to-Z, which allows bloggers to write posts every day of the week featuring the alphabet. It's pretty cool and I've gain many followers just by commenting on their blogs.<br /><br />Giving copies out to a few of the local libraries is cool, but generating buzz from followers online because they read your book and love it is better!<br /><br />Anyway, those are a few suggestions. Hopefully, I helped. If you're also looking for ideas you can hit me up on my blog. Tons of stuff there for those just starting out or getting involved in the writing community.<br /><br />Enjoy,<br /><br />JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
