Now that you have your Web book done, you have to let people know about it.
Since you can't go on a talk show tour (or could you?), you need to
promote the site on the Net itself.
- Submit the URL of your book to the search engines, such as Yahoo,
Lycos, Infoseek, Alta Vista, etc. After a delay of days to weeks, they
will index your pages and make the information available to searchers.
- Send e-mail announcements to your friends, relatives, co-workers,
and the related web-sites that you linked to in your book.
- Post a short announcement to relevant news groups.
- Post a short announcement to relevant mailing lists.
Now, sit back and enjoy the kudos for all your hard work.
For Techies:
Add a search engine to your Web site for automated indexing. We use
excite but there are many more.
