Do you Need Help Promoting your Adult Book?

You've just had your first erotic book published. Or, maybe it's your second or third, it really doesn't matter. You're feeling excited and ready for the next step as a published author: Your book's promotion online.

You settle down in front of your computer and start to look for places to submit your book listing to but, it doesn't take you long to realise there's a big problem. You discover that your book, because of its subject matter/genre, is not accepted on 9 out of 10 of the book listing sites on the internet.

So, what do you do? How can you successfully market your erotic/adult book online if you are unable to list it on all these sites?

Well, this is where I come in. By searching endlessly for suitable places to list my adult e-book, Inner Sins, I've saved them all in my favourite's folder for future reference. In this article I have listed some of them here for you, so all that you have do is to visit them and submit.

Easy! So, get ready to start promoting!

Despite its name, this site is more than just an article directory. It lists e-books, articles, books, classifieds, tools and links to help you promote your book. Create an account for free, list your books, create a classified ad and take advantage of the resources available to you.

Author Reviews.com

http://www.author-reviews.com/

'The Free E-book Promotion Site.' This is one site I've saved but have not yet submitted a listing. This is for two reasons: a) I've yet to receive a review for Inner Sins and b) At the time of writing, they're not accepting new reviews as they're currently updating the site but it's still worth keeping an eye on.

http://www.authorpromote.com/index.php

HED: Hunt's E-book Directory

http://rkphunt.com/dir/

Has a wide variety of categories including romance, erotica and gay & lesbian. I seriously wish there were more sites like this one. It also offers a topsite and banner exchange for extra promotion for book sites.

For ease of promotion it's a good idea to bookmark all of these sites or, even better, save this article for future reference.

By listing your book on most if not all of these sites, you can be assured of increasing your books exposure and your future sales. Good luck!

Are you an adult who is told that they act white?

Im a fourteen year old girl, a high school freshman and Im am constantly told i act White. I make strait a's and i speak proper english,i like to read and listen to All types of music not just rap alone. I always think maybe people would stop with this stereotyping as i get older and go off to college and start my career. So if your a an adult in school or or working tell me if you still get that.

Yes I'm told this by everyone especially by my family. I'm the youngest of 6 my brothers and sisters growing up they didn't go to the best of schools but by the time I was born my parents had moved to a nicer community that had better schooling and where the teachers actually cared about its students. so I was taught the proper way to speak and how to hold an intelligent conversation. It didn't bother me then but it does now cause my family picks on my 9 year old who too talks very proper and holds herself well. They hate the fact that were not loud and rude and speak ebonics and we dddress a certain way. We don't act white we just act with sense.
