Get yourself a HubPage, and a little about Web 2.0

HubPages is similar to Squidoo. You get a free page where you can write an interesting article to entice people to look at your book. You can add a photo and links, an Amazon section, and so on. Mine looks like this: Reclaim your life and find happiness again

When you use a site like HubPages or Squidoo, you are harnessing the power of the collective to give your page greater authority and search engine recognition.

This is the power of what the marketing experts are calling Web 2.0, a great networking of individuals. For more on Web 2.0, see Wikipedia.

Be a part of the great sharing!

Free publicity at Squidoo

Squidoo's philosophy is that everyone is an expert. They are allowing anyone to have a page on any topic, for free. The system is funded by advertising revenue.

The benefits are all explained on their home page, here: www.squidoo.com

You can showcase your book, add links to it's page at Lulu or wherever, links to your blog and Amazon, say what you want about it, and get feedback too. There are common interest groups you can join, and the system will allow you to create a page about yourself. In addition, there is a lot of cross-linking on the site, which gives you higher ranking on Google and other search engines.

Here is the link to my page, by way of example: www.squidoo.com/choosetolive
