I just coined a phrase, maybe...

A few ideas on how to create book buzz (if that is already not a coined phrase I want a nickel every time someone says it), or at least ideas on how to drive traffic towards your blog/website/Amazon links besides the dreaded review requests:Offer to do an author interview for book review bloggersFrequent author and writer forums, offering advice, ideas and solutions (sometimes leaving your links are forbidden or frowned upon, but you can at least get your name out there)Participate in blog hops (check out the lower right hand side of my blog – Indie Author Blog Hop)Participate in other author's blogs by leaving comments and enter their promotions.  Like I am doing now: check out Kristen Lamb's blog, and her book We Are Not Alone    Make sure you are linking all of your social media sites together via RSS feeds, links, tweets, etc.  Also, make good use of QR codes.Create author business cards and don't be shy about handing them out!Enter contests (flash fiction, cover art contests, etc.) Have more ideas?  Please comment on this blog!
Side note: Just spent the last weekend writing a prequel to my short story Gleaming White, to be released soon.  I've never felt more productive!
