Marketing for Fun: 1:1

Personally, I get a little run down with the same old online marketing techniques. You check your Facebook account, scan your Twitter feed, read your Amazon reviews (can you hear the droning in my head?) which are all excellent and, I'd say, necessary ways to market your book.
The Internet channel is the most open one for self-published authors. However, taking full advantage of it can be work though, sometimes, not fun work.
So why not liven it up a bit?
Today I was toying with alternate ideas, silly ones, that would help engage readers and potential readers into your book world.
Let's just consider this the first installment of:
Kat's Krazy Kool Stuff She Found for You to Market Your Book with Online
Quiblo.com
Register at quiblo.com and you can create quizzes, surveys, polls, and their ilk. While it may seem like a time waster (and believe me, it is) it is also a brilliant, fun way to engage your audience in a truly active way. Create surveys about your book, quizzes about your characters, polls about your title, even personality quizzes based on how people felt about your work.
It's silly, it's fun, it's interactive, and it can include your book cover image. You can make as many as you want after registering.
They are easy to create, fun to play with, and, best of all, still a marketing tool.
Check it out!
Because books can be fun!

What a cool idea! I'm going to use it to promote Latter-day Cipher, my upcoming novel Over 90 people have signed up for a group on Facebook by that name. So can I use it in that context?

I haven't tried it on Facebook ... there has to be a way to do it, even if it's just link you direct people too!
I'm going to try it out today. I ran out of time last night :)
