No Money Marketing:  All You Need is Like by Angela Yuriko Smith is one author's view on how to promote your book, culled from her own experiences publicizing her own novel, End of Mae.  The approach she uses offers some appealing and creative avenues to book marketing.The first part of the book is devoted to marketing techniques the author used in the virtual world of Second Life.  Now I don't belong to that Second Life, although I have heard of it, and I always assumed it was more of a recreational website.  After reading I find myself quite convinced of its marketing potential for authors; any writer on Second Life (or thinking of joining) should avail themselves of Ms. Smith's helpful suggestions.  The remainder of No Money Marketing:  All You Need is Like is geared towards more traditional marketing sites such as Facebook, but even here the author has some individual ideas of where and how to promote your book.I especially appreciated the fact the author backs up her suggestions with specific information on how her marketing techniques affected her sales and book visibility.  So many marketing suggestions tell you that they will boost sales, without the details.Overall, I found the book had good ideas, written in an easy style and I can recommended it to any author looking for ways to get their books noticed.
