Buried In Edits

So, I got my edits back from Cobblestone Press. They're not too bad, but I'm computer illiterate so I had to learn a few things to make the necessary corrections.
With two releases in December (one for Jennifer McKenzie and one for my pen name), I've been contemplating the promotional aspect of "the biz". There's tons of other blogs out there about this stuff. I'll try and be original.
My favorite things to do? Chats. I can chat with the best of them. I enjoy it. My least favorite thing to do? Contests. Not that I don't enjoy contests. I do. It's the "idea" part that escapes me. Trying to figure out what will work is NOT my strong suit. Established wisdom is very contradictory on this one. Some say "Make buying your book part of the contest." Some say "Keep it very simple." My own enjoyment came from a contest given by Dayna Hart for her book "You Again". She had a blog treasure hunt. I went from blog to blog gleaning information, sent an email and won a copy of her book.
The question I have is this. Do you go with thing YOU enjoy when promoting? Or do you go along with what others say "works"?
