2016-10-06 A few thoughts on promoting a book (or a product/service) - for a friend

Lots of self-publishing resources available out there
- https://leanpub.com/about
- https://kdp.amazon.com/

You could also do a kick-starter program, and solicit donations - with a few bonus items for a given donation level (their name posted on a web sites as a Bronze, Silver, Gold Supporter, a signed copy of the book, invitation to the book release party, etc.)
- https://www.kickstarter.com/

You should have a twitter account unique to the book, to promote it

For a book blog - I would suggest using Instagram, or Facebook
https://www.instagram.com/

https://www.facebook.com

or, you could setup a free wordpress blog (just avoid Google's blogspot)
https://wordpress.com/

Link the content with an Etsy account to sell/promote products that you might source related to the book topics

On your blog and twitter accounts, you could also post affiliate sales links for an additional revenue stream
