I don't. Well, I did try to sell some books after which I hoped I might get some reviews.

Back when I published the first one I did contact a few blogs that reviewed books in the genre - and were open to such requests - but I received my no response. (Might be they didn't like the sound it, or me, or might simply be they already had a flood.) These were blogs that had an appropriate audience rather than one size fits all. And yes, this is indeed the free-copy-for-a-review thing that I said I was not a fan of, but more targeted and not aimed at fudging Amazon and so on.

That was about the extent of my marketing efforts ... and look where I am now!
