How to effectively promote an ebook?

Product Hunt isn't great for distributing ebooks anymore. What are your other go-to channels or ideas for effectively promoting ebooks to the right audience?

Why don't you build audience before writing an ebook?

@manish_nepal yes, agree. Why someone who doesn't know you should buy your ebook? Because they have a problem, they want to solve. Maybe when your ebook solves a particular problem, and you build a simple landing page for it and put some effort into SEO, you may sell it to random people.

@maciej_cupial easier said than done. Also, there are two ways to think about it: 1. Build audience before you write an ebook. 2. Write an ebook as part of your audience-building/branding effort. There must be ways for new creators/startups to use ebooks—especially if they are not looking to make money out of it.
