May of the sites also do guest blogging, author interviews, giveaways, etc. The links in the left side bar of this place would get you started.<br /><br />There are a couple of places I know that are not review sites:<br />http://cupoporn.blogspot.ca<br />http://CoverReveals.blogspot.comLou Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016676176117488961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401659322767993102.post-81572124181383267282014-04-26T14:25:39.283-07:002014-04-26T14:25:39.283-07:00It would be much less complicated if it wasn't...It would be much less complicated if it wasn't so hard to find the places where people willingly go to find out about new books. Or at least it's hard for me. I've read dozens of articles on the subject, but none of them are explicit enough to do me (and maybe it's just me) any good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401659322767993102.post-85300124890798078362014-04-24T08:06:49.344-07:002014-04-24T08:06:49.344-07:00Yeah, my thinking is to put the promo to places we...Yeah, my thinking is to put the promo to places were people willingly go for exactly that sort of thing.

Restricting promo to those who have deliberately befriended you or have said they're fans still leaves potential, as yet unknown, fans uninformed.<br /><br />I suspect part of the answer lies in what you have implied -- tell people once or twice (at decent intervals) but avoid the blanket, day after day, approach, at least when you're using the same place/list. Spreading it around in different places seems much more logical; I don't mind if I see the same author popping up on different blogs since it's my choice to follow a lot of blogs, but I don't want to hear more than twice on the same blog (unless it's the author's own blog, when she can do what she likes!).Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553503435833467369noreply@blogger.com
