From Elise Ackers, author of Rhodon and several other works. See here for Part 1 of self-publishing tips.
I found the following websites helpful re: self-promoting books. A lot of them have great tips, but one of the best things I've done is make myself the top handful of results on search engines i.e. Google and Bing, by carefully placing tag words, maintaining a website and utilising social media like Facebook and Twitter. When I meet people they tend to forget my book name but remember my name, so they search for me on the internet.
