I've been planning a big promo for The Seventh Magpie, coming up soon. Obviously, that has involved researching lots of book promo sites. Who knew there were so many of them? I'm still sifting through more, but I thought it might be helpful to other indie authors if I posted a list of the ones I've found so far.
Some of these sites will list your book for free. For others, you have to pay. Some only list free books or books that are at a discounted price. Each site has its own criteria, its own rules, and as in any business I'm sure some of them provide more value for your money/effort than others. So make sure to examine each site carefully before deciding where to promote your book.
My listing of any of these sites below is not necessarily an endorsement. I have used some of them before, and will be using others in my upcoming promo push. I'll post more information about my results after that's over. But what works for one book or author may not work as well for another, so use your own judgement.
I'll come back and add to this list from time to time as I find new sites. If you know of any, or if any of the links below no longer work, let me know in the comments.
Good luck promoting your books!
(If you found this list helpful, you can say thanks by buying a copy of one of my books.)
