One of the best things you can do to build visibility to your book is to publish your other writings. Being published in trade journals and magazines can raise your visibility as a writer and thereby raise the visibility of your book. You can also publish articles on-line as well.
I found the following information in a forum I am involved with that I think can really be of use when trying to find some other outlets to publish your book.
“1. You can write for sites like Associated Content (www.associatedcontent.com) or Helium (www.helium.com) as a way of getting started. The pay is not a lot ($5 or less in many cases), but it’s a great way of improving your writing.
2. The Writer’s Market book is a wonderful resource and has contact information for many magazines (trade magazines are a great way to get started and there are more magazines listed than you could ever imagine)
3. Media Bistro and Writer’s Weekly are two other spots which list freelance work for people of all experience levels.”
I would definitely recommend giving some of these options a try and seeing if some other work published can help your book!

My agent sent me some leads from journalists seeking experts to quote in their articles. One of these led to a New York writer interviewing me for an article on MSNBC, which gave me a link to my site and a good bit of traffic.
Do you know the best (cheapest) way to get this service? I see one guy offering it here: http://www.getmedialeads.com , but am sure there must be other avenues.
Hey Steve,
I am unfamiliar with that particular site so I do not want to recommend it nor steer you away. However, there is a free site that I might check out if I were you prior to investing any money in this. Look at – http://www.helpareporter.com
Let me know if this helps at all!
