6. Book trailer & promotional videos (YouTube)
7. Podcast & audio recordings of speeches/lectures (iTunes)
8. Speaking Engagements (universities, libraries, book clubs, domain-specific venues)
9. Book Signings/sales events
10. Book Consignment (@ cafes/pawn-shops)
11. Book Giveaways (no more than once per quarter)
12. Book Groups & Clubs (such as MyBooksOut on Yahoo! Groups or local author clubs)
13. Message Forums (find topically-relevant mailing lists, newsgroups and discussion forums online)
14. Blog tour (guest-blogging on other sites/blogs)
15. Awards (enter writing/publishing contests)
16. Mechanical Turk - comments, reviews, ratings
17. Fiverr - backlinks, blog articles
18. Audiobook version on (Audible)
