Writers Can Sell Themselves via Technology

Several newish marketing or promotion notions:

Stamps. Put yourself, logo or book cover on a U.S. postage stamp. Services like zazzle.com, photo.stamps.com, and yourstamps.com can do the trick (thanks to Jim Cox's Midwest Book Review newsletter).

Radio interviews. Ah, but this isn't your grandparents' radio: try the new satellite and Internet radio services like Sirius, Blogtalk, WritersFM, live and recorded MP3s.

If you have a book coming out, be sure to badger your publisher to hook it up to book clubs as suggested in Publishers Seek to Mine Book Circles - New York Times. Several new Web 2.0 social networking sites exist for reading groups.
