Smart Authors: Book Marketing on a Shoestring

.

Sure, you can promote your books with (over) paid advertising.  But most of the clicks on your ads are done by busy robots – not real people who actually searching for the next great title.  Robots neither read books nor do they recommend your book to friends.  That’s the hard reality!
