Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
Think outside the box! Have tons of great photos and memorabilia, but don't want to publish a "scrapbook" type title? Consider offering a scrapbook CD, DVD, or Thumb drive. Don't want to have more than one item to sell? sell printed book and electronic media together as one unit. Prefer to share more information? Add photos and memorabilia over time to your website, blog, or network profile. It can be freely shared in such a way that it is actual marketing for your book!

Public
Speaking
Make the act of marketing pay
you!
If you offer your time and chosen topic(s) to local groups, you may be surprised that they may net sales, as well as gas money, honorariums, and/or free meals, not to mention the networking possibilities - producing material for your next publication, etc. Schools may also be interested, though many of these programs may not allow for sales time. If you are comfortable lecturing, seek national or "big" opportunities, and the paychecks that are associated with getting "the job". This may be done through groups, or through your own booking talent for "private" lectures.
Please don't forget that, if you choose to apply it to income tax, all costs associated with this are deductible in some way.

Computer aid!?! - A website of your own - part 2
///////////////////////////////
At a bit more cost, you can hand pick your very own web address. This is called a domain and is a separate fee from your ISP page space. An example for the same site found at the above addresses (URL) would be:
Addresses can be important if people are looking for you or your book and don't remember a lot about it. Even the best efforts to get into search engines are not foolproof. If the decision to purchase the domain, and keep up it's "rent" is made, you'll also need to decide on one author domain (generally your name) or a separate domain for each book.
To Recap: A webpage, or web site needs both online space (hosting) for the pages and an address. The address may be provided by your ISP for no additional charge, or you can buy (Annually) a domain of your own for your web page(s).
