    Great information for ALL writers.

    It gives you exactly what the title says.

    Just one thing to keep in mind. In general the lower the cost of the technique the more of your time it requires. This is time not devoted to writing. Yet many of the lowest cost, most time consuming, are the most effective.

    This is a trade off you have to find a way to balance if you want to get your book out there.
