First of all, get a blog

Marketing niche books includes getting a blog. You can build free blogs using blogspot.com or wordpress.com. This is a sample of my blogs, which is free, and brings book business (and consultant requests).

On my blogs you’ll see amazon.com associates gadgets. Customers can go straight to amazon.com to buy your books. With associates, you can get paid by Amazon.com as well. Also I recommend that you create an email account and post it so fans can get in touch with you. You can create a free email using gmail.com, yahoo.com or an existing website. Just make sure to check everyday. I’m sure your fans will want to get in touch with you.

Be sure to post an article or two every week. Each article can have key words that Google will pick up and lead others to your blog which should then point them to your website.
