It is an awful spidery, webby, Machiavellian word. It implies grease uncomfortable shoes and sweaty palms and all sorts of other unlovely prospects. And yet, I am finding I was wrong. I was just sent the information from Simon and Schuster about social networking media (Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads mostly) and promoting the book (now that it is less than four months away!). I decidd to tackle Facebook first. It is the name that threw me. "Fan" page. And we are back to feeling of the painful shoes and spider webs.
But I found it was nothing like that. I dove in and set it up. Put up a photo of the book and the trailer I love and said nothing about it to anyone. Twenty eight lovely people came along and pushed a button to say that they liked it. It was lovely! It made my day! So here it is: Exit the Actress!

I have just pressed like on it too. Good luck with the book.
ReplyDeleteI never use Facebook, although I have a profile. Will be sure to log in later and like this! I prefer twitter - you'll find all the big publishers and authors on there. :)
ReplyDeletethank you vivienne!
ReplyDeleteleanna, i am working up to twitter! that is next!
Priya, I am not on FB but I am TheLadyMoppet on Twitter and Moppet at Goodreads, feel free to friend me!
ReplyDeleteI haven't dealt with Facebook either Priya. My blog and Twitter take up so much time, I didn't want another time suck. I figure, if I ever get a book deal, I'll set up a Facebook account then...like you did I guess. Thanks for paving the way...*smile* I'll come back to you for advice when that time comes (got to think positive!).
ReplyDeletemiss moppet, i definitely will!
ReplyDeletejune, i will go and look for you on twitter!
yay, i became a fan! i've found goodreads to be a good place to find out about books and to keep track of all the millions of books i want to read! and unlike keeping up blogs and facebook and twitter, goodreads doesn't suck my time away! good luck with all of this! sounds like so far so good!

Reading posts backwards, so I see I am not too late discovering your networking plans. I am pleased you have made a video, (not that I have watched it yet, off to do so now),as you have probably noticed that when I review a book I like to include background info and a video if possible.
ReplyDeletebook quoter, wow--how did they get that? thank you again for mentioning nell!
ReplyDeletelindy lou, we are in the process of making a second video. when that is done i will put that one up too! hope you like it!
