Katie Salidas: Advertising in a Flooded Ebook Market

In my last post I mentioned that authors are almost required these days to buy ad space to get their books in front of readers who already have TBR piles flooded with one-click freebies and $0.99 sale books. But, where do you go and how do you spend your advertising dollars? There are literally hundreds of places to spend your money with almost no guarantee it will be worth it.

Here’s a (by no means complete) list of the sites I have frequented in the recent past with mixed results. Price, potential advertising reach, and genre are all things that need to be taken into consideration. Also, if you have some places to add to this list, please do so in the comments below!
