Yesterday I got an email from a guy called David, offering to promote my book for free on his site.
I decided it doesn't hurt to look, and I'm pretty happy with what I see.
David will create a page for your book on his site, askdavid.com. It includes the cover image, a blurb about your book (which he will ask you to provide), your photo, book trailer video and a few other details.
Readers can review your book on his page.
You can see my page here.
What does David ask for in return? He appreciates it if you "like" his site (or your page) on Facebook, tweet about it, Google+ it, or give him a backlink on your book's website. Since all of those things help to promote your book as well as his site, it's not a hard thing at all.
His free book promotion page includes tips on how to promote your book for free. It's definitely worth a look.

Thank you for your informative blog~
Hey finished writing my book looking for support to make it take off so get a copy An Airman's Convictions on amazon.com paperback and kindle edition or get it directly from my store https://www.createspace.com/3770522
Hi I couldn't find the sidebar to submit my selfpublished book. Hey finished writing my book looking for support to make it take off so get a copy An Airman's Convictions on amazon.com paperback and kindle edition or get it directly from my store https://www.createspace.com/3770522 so there is all my info and personal store site for it. It contains book cover and description as well as paperback and kindle edition for any reading apps.
I did this myself last night. What a painless operation. Any freebie advertising in this day and age is definitely well worth it.
Thanks for sharing this! I just posted about my new book.
What a great way to help authors! I'm all about cross-promoting and love to work with other authors. I have posted many other author's stuff on my blog. I always like to make new author friends so I've posted my blog. Please come and join and leave me a message and we can continue to help each other out!

Hi Carol,
I also do a similar kind of promotion to David's at my website The Writer's Drawer. See for example, http://www.thewritersdrawer.net/me-and-her.html.
In return, all you have to do is submit a piece of your writing to one of the sections in the Drawer: poetry, short story, essay, etc. A "like" is also welcome.
Regards
Beryl Belsky
