Utilize Social Media to Promote Your Books
Share Buttons-Use Google +1, facebook share buttons, Linkedin buttons, Twitter buttons, and more on all your web pages to promote your book or writings. The easiest way to do this is to utilize to go to http://www.sharethis.com/ where you can select the share buttons you want and they will automatically give you a code which can be put in the header of your website., then publish your website and "ta da" you have all the sharing buttons you need on every page of your website. (It's that easy!).
Sign up for and utilize blogs and other websites- Sign up or become a member of sites which allow you to create a profile, make your own posts, and share. Doing this will get your work noticed by more people. Your work will start sounding familiar to them when they hear it again. People tend to trust popular brands. Getting the word out is of most importance.
Create a page from your Facebook profile-Make a Facebook page for your website, book, crafts, music, cooking, or events. You will automatically get notifications on your personal page when someone likes, comments, or sends a message to your new page and it is kept separate from your personal page. You can also pay to boost your posts, this will allow you to reach even more people.
Don't overlook Google +-If you have a gmail address you can create a community page where you can promote your website, books, music, and more. Make a Google +1 Community page to share pages from your website, events, new books, etc.

Make Video's About Your Books & You as the Author for Youtube
Make a video about each book you write and make one about you as the author. Put your video on Youtube.com and monetize it. Monetizing your video will allow you to make money in addition to your book sales, from the Google ads that are placed on your video's. If people like your video's they will share them with their friends and family-this is free advertisement. Make sure you allow the embed feature under sharing because website owner's can then feature your video's on their websites which will bring you even more free advertisement and recognition.
Never Pay A Publisher
Do not pay someone to publish your writing unless you are paying for printing hard copy. Real publishers pay you. They will usually give you an advance payment for your work if they feel that you will write a book that sells well, this is usually based on sales from previous books you have written and published. Some publishers will pay the advance in two or three payments with the first advance paid after you sign the contract. (Be sure to read the contract carefully). After the initial advance payments you most likely will not receive any more payments until the book actually sells and then you will get royalties from your book sales start coming in (with the publisher getting a percentage of the profits from the book sales, of course).
