Authors know the power of giving out freebies to promote their books. Bookmarks, stickers and the like are a great way to spread the word. The problem is getting the stuff in the hands of enough children, teachers and parents to make a difference. 

Here’s the solution: “freebie” websites. These sites list offers of free goodies for a variety of audiences, and are excellent places for authors to be listed. 

Here are some links to get you started: 

Freebies for Teachers
Freebies for Parents
Freebies for Kids 

You can either offer your freebies by mail (request that folks include a self-addressed stamped envelope to defray your costs) or, if it’s a bookmark or other paper item, perhaps you can offer it online in PDF format. That way, you can also get more traffic to your website!
