Okay, so I brought this up in the Bordello, but thought it would be better in the open forum so we can get more participation.
Let's face it: promo is a pain in the butt, and getting your name out there without overdoing it (or overspending with no return) is a challenge.
Let's all work together on this. This thread is for the following:
So...what has worked for you? What hasn't? What promotional opportunities are you interested in trying? Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
This is an open discussion, but please don't use the thread as an actual means of self-promotion. Discussing how you promoted your book/name/brand is fine, but this isn't the thread for "My new book is now available..." posts. No, I'm not a mod, so I can't enforce that, but I really want to keep this thread on the subject of how to promote rather than bombarding each other with advertisements. Though that could be an example of how NOT to promote oneself...
Anyway. Go forth. Discuss. How do we and should we promote our erotic fiction?

Let's all work together on this. This thread is for the following:
- Brainstorming ideas for effective promotion.
- Sharing promotional opportunities with other members (blog hops, blog tours, guest spots, etc)
- Discussing promotional techniques that have and have not worked.
- Proposing ideas for joint promo, such as multi-author ads in magazines or websites.
