Authors helping Authors discussion

Through publishing six books I've tried out several promotional avenues. I've been here on Goodreads, Library Thing, Shelfari, and World Literary Cafe. I Set up a Twitter account, LinkedIn and Facebook for each of my books and then a separate author Facebook. I even put my books on Pinterest. It's been a real ride for someone who was not into social media before publishing a book.

I'm still working on getting my FIRST book published! Stephanie, fter seeing all you've been through, my question is, which of all the venues you've tried proved most effective?

Well actually I left off one avenue which is setting up a blog. You can set up a free one through wordpress.com and connect it to most of your social media sites. That has been a big help to me as a writer. I've connected with people all over the world. Twitter has been an awesome tool. It's amazing when I Tweet my books the views go up on my buy sites. Good luck with your new book. Let me know how it goes.

I'd like to share this to everyone. This is an article with useful tips on book marketing - http://bookpromotion.weebly.com
