You've just had your first erotic book published. Or, maybe it's your second or third, it really doesn't matter. You're feeling excited and ready for the next step as a published author: Your book's promotion online.
You settle down in front of your computer and start to look for places to submit your book listing to but, it doesn't take you long to realise there's a big problem. You discover that your book, because of its subject matter/genre, is not accepted on 9 out of 10 of the book listing sites on the internet.
So, what do you do? How can you successfully market your erotic/adult book online if you are unable to list it on all these sites?
Well, this is where I come in. By searching endlessly for suitable places to list my adult e-book, Inner Sins, I've saved them all in my favourite's folder for future reference. In this article I have listed some of them here for you, so all that you have do is to visit them and submit.
Easy! So, get ready to start promoting!

Author Reviews.com
http://www.author-reviews.com/
'The Free E-book Promotion Site.' This is one site I've saved but have not yet submitted a listing. This is for two reasons: a) I've yet to receive a review for Inner Sins and b) At the time of writing, they're not accepting new reviews as they're currently updating the site but it's still worth keeping an eye on.

HED: Hunt's E-book Directory
http://rkphunt.com/dir/
Has a wide variety of categories including romance, erotica and gay & lesbian. I seriously wish there were more sites like this one. It also offers a topsite and banner exchange for extra promotion for book sites.
For ease of promotion it's a good idea to bookmark all of these sites or, even better, save this article for future reference.
By listing your book on most if not all of these sites, you can be assured of increasing your books exposure and your future sales. Good luck!
