Beta Readers...

[ctcrompton]

In my attempts at cracking the Amazon charts of Romance and Erotica books, I've studied a lot of things about self-publishing. It seems one of the successful promotional tools is providing free copies of a book to beta readers, who then offer reviews on Amazon.

Where are such readers found? Are there places like forums? This forum perhaps? Or have you acquired such readers from a mailing list included in previous books?

I've made some money from self-publishing, but I think I really need to do more in promotional efforts to really push my success further.
