Authors—How To Choose & Use Social Media. Best Social Media—for You!
Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 7pm
The best social media for authors is. . . whichever works best for you!
By now you know building your “author platform” is crucial to publishing success—regardless of whether you plan to self-publish or go with a traditional publisher.
Join us for a fun, straightforward, and honest exploration of social media for authors. You’ll learn:
- Which social media platform will give you the best return on your time investment?
- Where are your readers?
- How to turn efforts spent on social media from a time-suck to a valuable community building resource
- Which social networks will you be most comfortable with?
- How will you fit this in to the rest of your busy life?
- Can you really sell books on social media?
It’s not "whether-or-not" you should include social media in your authorship plan, but which platform is right for you!
