Choosing where to guest post
Make a short-list of popular sites likely to be visited by your target audience. Rather than aiming for the top of your niche straight away, you might want to try to be published on the second or third most popular site, just so you have somewhere to go once you succeed.

Here’s a 3 way cross promotion that is chocked full of goodies
1) MindBites is promoting Squidoo for free promotion of their expertise:
“You should share what you know with the world because it will enrich your life,
enrich someone else’s life and earn money while sharing your passion. Something
that you are very skilled at or something that you have been professionally
trained to do is worth sharing with other people. MindBites makes it easy for
you to upload your own ‘how to’ video and post it up for sale.”
2) They used a great example of a cheaply made video that has great information that you can use plus a very fun song about cheese. Watch and learn now.

You can also upload videos the way I do using http://authorsvideo.com/
3) They are also promotion Squidoo (where every author should have a book lens)
And thanks to the power of blogging, I am promoting my tips about promotion by telling you about this and placing a comment on their Squidoo lens.
You can easily do the same. Just find something cool, comment and talk about it on your blog.
And be sure to put a comment here to let us know what you are up to.
When I saw this line up.. I knew I had to be there

Come to Las Vegas and let’s take your online business to the next level next year.
There are two reasons you should see this site:
1) The topic.. You get just what you need to get up and running on Digg, YouTube, and Facebook (and every author should have account on each)
2) The book is a free ebook from posted using Lulu.com.
The book won’t win any award for writing or presentation.. but it’s a quick read, and exactly what you need if you aren’t using all three of the above.
I came up with 3 new ideas while reading and will soon post a video, tell my friends on Facebook, and hope they DIGG it.
Post a comment here (you can DIGG too) and tell me how you are using social networking to promote your book.
