Absolutely never, but good luck marketing your book however you choose to do it!

thank you, luck always helps, especially the good kind  :)
 
NEVER how they pay per click if no one buys their s/??? lose $$$ yeah thats what i thoughj

that can be the worst part about trying to promote something. if you do it wrong all you do is lose money.

Don't use net ads man, if anything they might make exposure but it'll be at the cost of negative sentiment towards it. Try to find some blogs who will review it, send out some free copies, post on book forums (don't spam, but if you genuinely think it's good offer part of it free or whatever). Really just look to the reading/book review community and if it's good, word will spread. Be proactive but don't go overboard or you risk alienating.

hoping to find a cheap solution for the time being as im not neccesarily trying to go to a publishing company just yet. ive never really had success with selling anything over the internet really. to me people are 1000x more likely to purchase an independent product in person rather than over the net unless has some kind of mainstream "seal of approval" or media hype. a lot of people seem to trust big brother more than the common man. i havent really started posting anywhere except gaming forums, because that is where ive usually lurked. but i suppose ill seek out an actual book forum... if i can find a good one.

concerning the main topic, there are a lot of independent sites out there that link to affiliates and other similar companies that arent through ad words and can be a legitimate way of finding something valuable.

Simple question.

Do you ever visit the ads you see on sites like Facebook or Myspace and the google ads that you see on other pages and search engines?

For me, it happens rarely.

And when you do, do you ever end up using/signing up for the product or service?

I'm trying to decide how I should market my book.

I've mostly used the site for game making and playing and I just came back recently to see whats been going on.

Some of my earliest memories are downloading and playing games like a Blurred Line, Kyrent Project, and Easy Mac when they were in their prime. There were a lot of bad ones too that I can't quite remember... its amazing to see how many really bad ones there are/were.

Ocassionally I would visit the boards or IRC and mostly get a half-laugh out of the inside humor that i don't understand.. sometimes up to a full on lol
