Promoting books can be an expensive proposition. Here are some inexpensive ways to pump your book and not break the bank.

Be a guest blogger- Contribute articles to other bloggers. There are a lot of other writers out there who will be sympathetic to your desire to promote your book. This will drive traffic to your website and enhance your search engine position.
Hold a social media contest or giveaway- Everyone loves to win something. Use your social media pages to give away free copies of your book. This is even a cheaper giveaway if you make the promotional book an e- book. This saves on shipping.
Ask a friend to host a book signing party- An intimate party with close friends and family is a great way to promote books.
Post all positive reviews to your website- Make sure that everyone that visits your author website sees what readers have to say about your book!
Start your own newsletter- This is a great way to interact with fans on a regular basis. Provide a place on your website where visitors can leave their contact information.
