Author Jennifer Belle took her book publicity into her own hands by hiring actresses “to read my book on the subway and at New York City landmarks for $8/hr”

If I could afford to pay several people $8 bucks an hour to read my book on the subway, I probably wouldn't need to sell the book.
Seriously, very innovative idea, though. Strategic marketing for sure.
I recently heard of people advertising on eggs. Maybe I'll give that a try.
What a great idea. And the egg thing too! One of my marketing strategies that worked for getting my article writing off the ground was that I printed off about two hundred 1" x 2" slips of paper that just said:
READ ME
Google: Denise Kawaii
I started leaving the strips of paper in public bathrooms, bus stops, airport terminals - anywhere that someone with a smartphone or laptop might be bored and looking for something to kill time. Within two weeks of the "campaign" I went from having 10 reads a day to over 200.
