btw, ...I am in there pitching for the group! LOL! <br /><br />btw, if the sfrbrigade doesn't start following people, they'll hit a twitter limit. i spent time today kicking my unfollowers off my limb so I could add people who do follow me. Didn't kick sfrbrigade off though! LOL! It was like banging into a ceiling because I've been working to increase my followers.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673963438671468441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-38389746366998878982012-02-22T18:22:29.283-08:002012-02-22T18:22:29.283-08:00I've really got to read Lamb's book.

Social networking can be so time consuming that learning to use it wisely is a must-do for most writers. <br /><br />Thanks Heather for a great article, and to Pauline for bringing for all her tidbits of knowledge and valuable links to the table.L.

And the book is so easy to read, very personable style.Heather Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913459109753829391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-88235477814957436492012-02-22T14:09:52.223-08:002012-02-22T14:09:52.223-08:00I don't know if it is a huge secret, since I&#...I don't know if it is a huge secret, since I've been puffing Lamb's book everywhere people ask me about marketing. LOL! Since reading it, for the first time I feel like I have a plan that fits within my comfort zone. I've read a lot of marketing ideas that I just know wouldn't work for me because I'm, well, ME. (grin) <br /><br />I have to say, I've been trying to use her techniques in a steady and consistent way since I started reading the book (and need to finish her blogging book!) and I've seen a steady (not huge, but steady) increase in activity across my social networks. <br /><br />Other resources I've found helpful are:<br /><br />copyblogger (I get lots of useful information from this blog))<br /><br />Klout helps you get a look at your SM effectiveness. It doesn't track sales, but your use of SM. In a world where you have NO CLUE how your books are doing until you get a royalty statement, it is nice to have something to look at. LOL!<br /><br />also, if you write steampunk, check this out:<br /><br />http://steampunkkindle.com/News/steampunk-authors-we-will-publicize-for-you.html<br /><br />its a great offer. <br /><br />In an interesting twist, my social media activity on FB seems to have paid off. My daughter sent me a screenshot of my latest release as "sponsored ad." I don't know who sponsored it, but it wasn't me. But she said it was all over her FB. So that was very cool.<br /><br />The other thing I need to do is read. I have a huge backlog of SFR on my ereader. I buy the books, but just haven't been able to do much reading. Going to try to change that. Because I want/need to be able to recommend books other than mine when people ask. <br /><br />Thanks for a most thoughtful post. I'd like to see us create a twitter/FB presence that is as vibrant and active and helpful as #mywana. I really do believe that rising water lifts all boats.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673963438671468441noreply@blogger.com
