I strongly adhere to @NickColeBooks advice on getting the right also boughts and targeting the right people to help promote your book, same genre readers etc. You want amazon to do the work for you as much as possible.

Trading email lists with authors in the same category/genre? That makes sense. Any tips on working with people on that, or is it as simple as finding where your book belongs and asking them for help/trades?

You want to find the big indie sellers in your genre, what Jason Anspach & Nick Cole call "the Dons". Approach the Dons & offer to promote their books to your mailing list if they'll promote your book on theirs.

Fascinating. Is genre construed widely ("science fiction") or narrowly ("hard science libertarian SF"?)

You go by Amazon categories. Example: Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Colonization

BTW, some of the categories can't be selected through the KDP interface. In some cases you can find a more obscure (less competitive) category and email support to add your book to it.

I've plugged a lot of y'all through my Book Laser list, but we could definitely be doing more

My mailing list isn't segmented yet, so I'll promote any of you guys. Just let me know when you're running a special/have a new release.
