I just want to know websites like combinedbook.com. are they really help in marketing your book??
Book, I have no statistics to back me up, just a strong opinion based on my own experience as a book buyer: I’ve never heard of it, which means it certainly isn’t likely to sell any books to me.
I assume you self-published a work of fiction? Kiss of death, in terms of marketing. No matter how good the book is or how hard you work to market it, you’re unlikely to sell more than 3 copies to people who don’t know you.
About the only marketing I’ve seen have any effect for self-published authors is active participation at forums and chats dealing with the subject of your book. Find your niche market and determine where online they hang out. Some sites may allow you to discuss your book *if someone asks about it* (but will ban you for bringing it up more than once). Some may allow a link to a point of sale in your profile, or to your blog or web-page which in turn links to a point of sale.
The author’s blog, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other electronic self-promotion efforts, including the one you’re asking about here, seem to have little effect in terms of increased sales.
Sorry to be the person to give you bad news. Go write another one, and this time, get the publisher to pay *you*.

http://www.bridgetoamiracle.com/ A successful, fulfilled life suddenly torn apart by a totally unforeseen tragedy was put back together again by a totally unforeseen intervention — a miracle!
Jackie Carpenter, a loving mother and grandmother, church organist and successful businesswoman, had it all and would have given it all up in a moment to rescue her youngest son facing trial for felony murder. But the only thing she had to give up was her doubts — and that led to a miracle!
The story of a false charge that crushed a family is told in dramatic fashion by Jackie Carpenter in The Bridge: Between Cell Block A and a Miracle is Psalm 91 (ISBN 9781615796847, 2010 Xulon Press http://www.bridgetoamiracle.com/, 118 pages, $19.99 hardcover). But the story of the miracle that follows is one readers will never forget.
Carpenter’s youngest son, Jason Veitch, is a contractor who was building eight homes in a new subdivision and was losing thousands of dollars to copper theft. Following the advice of a police deputy, Jason stood guard one night at a home under construction. When encountering three intruders, his shotgun accidently fired and killed a man. Subsequently some shady actions by the police deputy led to trumped up charges of felony murder.
When her son was arrested and charged with felony murder, Carpenter busied herself researching everything. “I became an attorney, a police officer, a judge, a juror, a forensic expert,” says Carpenter. “Then two weeks before trial, I realized that everything I researched was to no avail. There was nothing else that I could do to help Jason. So I turned Jason over to God and a miracle happened.”
In the midst of crisis, Carpenter stopped at CVS to pick up a prescription. Her eyes were drawn to the Choice Book Stand” entitled Psalm 91, God’s Shield of Protection! It Saved My Life. Carpenter turned to the Book of Psalms for comfort and guidance, and throughout the trial shared with family members copies of stories taken from the Psalm 91 book.
The Bridge takes readers on a journey of utter helplessness through valleys of fear and doubts to a path of faith that led to a miracle. The book offers hope to the hopeless, help to the helpless, rest to the restless, and life to the lifeless.
“Ten long months we lived in the very pit of where Satan viciously attacked our family continuously,” recalls Carpenter, “Day after day after day after day. But at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 16, 2009 on the third floor courtroom of Coweta County Courthouse, the judge announced, “The jury has reached a decision” and to Jason, “please rise.” And God showed up!”
