Your website will come in incredibly handy in this situation as you can use it not only to talk about your books (or events) and convince people of their value through your blog posts, but you can also sell products like these them to your customers directly through your website. This saves you a lot of money and hassle in promoting your books, talks and seminars through the press or magazines.
