I had a number of responses to things people have said but I somehow managed to lose them. So let me summarize.
Writing is a craft. Selling books is a business. You have to consider how much time you have to devote to building the business.
The whole point of this thread is to come up with marketing ideas. I noticed that several people have mentioned Goodreads, blogging, etc, but I don't see that anyone has yet recommended building a connection in person.
Do you have a blog that lists upcoming events you will attend?
When was the last time you were on a panel at a SF con, book fair, or other event?
When was the last time you tried to sell a story to a magazine (or even give it away)?
That's just a few of the suggestions I came up with while reading this thread. Yes, this will cost you time and money, but that's what you have to do to build a business.
