www.smartbitchestrashybooks.comThe website receives over 350,000 pageviews per month and you can purchase a sidebar ad starting with $ 10 per week.
I will update this comment after my week is done. I will be measuring the ads success by assessing the amount of visitors that land on my website through them.
My genres are erotic romance/romance.
Hello, everyone! Please list all the promotion websites you've used or heard about and if you want, tell us about the results you achieved. One rule: no discussion in this thread please. I want the thread to be easy to browse through. Also, please list the genre of the book(s) you promoted and the amount you paid for the ad. Thank you everyone!
Marie, Angel, everyone, thank you thank you. I'm about to get some pasta and check out your suggestions.

Pissing me off lol. I don't want to do Bargain Booksy yet. I want to wait until I have a couple of hopefully positive reviews. The others that I found don't accept erotica.

Just show the ad to people already checking out adult books.

I don't doubt the quality of the work, but without the budget and connections of the trad published books it's much harder to compete. It's not a question of wanting to belong to the big boy's table but lacking the resources and network to do so. Plus lately, I'm seeing even trad published authors offering first book in their series or for free or at very very steep discounts, e.g. A book usually listed at $7.99 on sale for $0.99

IKR? Now my Amor cover is me pushing it :D (lol) but Veni is just two beautiful people kissing. Sigh, Facebook sucks now. I wish they were still the FB of 2011.

I'm more pissed at Facebook rejecting my d**n covers all the d**n time when it comes to boosting posts. Sure they're sexy but come on they're not THAT bad.
(Ranting here,)

It's starting to piss me off even though I know I have no right to be mad lol
I think free works if you have a series because then people will be more likely to read the rest of it. It can also work if you're selling zero anyways. Giving it away for free could then at least maybe result in some reviews.
That's a nice looking website you got there, Ruth!

I will definitely add the pre order link for the next one in this novella lol
