How To Guides - Social Media
Social Media
We’re big believers in the power of social media for author marketing, but if you’re still a little shy when it comes to talking up a storm online, here are a few hints and tips to bring you out of your shell.
Use Twitter the right way and you’ll be able to increase your online presence, update fans, reach potential customers with the click of a button and boost your sales as a result.
Facebook is a great place to hang out with like-minded people! Whether it’s realworld friends, other authors, your editor and publisher or the current and future fans of your work.
