7. Make it free for a limited period.
You can set the book at a price of $0 for a limited period, say a week, if you please. People are always willing to share free stuff and it’s a good chance to bring your content to a larger group.
An alternative is to offer a free sample and look for eBook-related sites to promote for you.

9. Making a video for your eBooks.
Compared to dull texts, pictures and videos with providential background music are apparently more popular. It’s likely that people spend minutes on your YouTube video unwittingly and develop a sudden interest in the plot. Don’t forget to leave several seconds for the link of your book at the end of the video thus people won’t miss the link.
10. Elaborate a presentation.
Creating a presentation for your eBook and uploading to slideshare is also an efficient way to promote your eBook as your book is given a relatively higher exposure here. Feel free to add the download link of your eBook together with the links of your Facebook and personal website to the presentation. Attractive pics and ingenious design is bound to draw more readers for you!
