Hopefully you have thought about your author page, but there are other ways to spread the word about your book. Some people like Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Other ways are a Blog or a Website. I'm going to focus on the latter two.
The Website and Blog allows you to expand and show off your world, (take my blog for example). You can give all sorts of information about your books, where to get them, your world, even about yourself. Here are some things you might think about putting on the pages of your website or blog.
1) Your book titles! I'd post cover art and titles, once you have them for sale, so it's easy for a reader to find them. And don't forget to post where to find them!
2) A little bit about yourself. People like to know about the people they are reading about. I'd stay away from politics and sensitive subjects, but you can talk about your hobbies, why you like the genre you are writing in, even where you live, if you don't mind sharing.
3) Talk about your world/setting. For some people, the world will be here and now, but there might be twists, so don't think you shouldn't talk about your setting even if it is set in the here and now!
4) Pictures, maps, and concepts. Maybe you like to doodle and you have maps or character sketches. Maybe you can do graphic art on the computer. Here is the place to share them!
5) Links to your favorite authors and movies. This gives the reader an even better idea of where you are coming from or maybe they will appreciate some new reads that you like!
Happy writing!
