Why Bother?
Ok, so I swore I'd NEVER use Twitter or get into social networking ever.
HA!
That oath didn't last long. As a matter of fact, I met other authors last October who swore by social networking to sell their brand and product.
But I didn't think I had a brand to sell. Boy was I wrong!
I have a book to sell. That means I have a product. And as a result, I have a brand to sell.
That would be me!
So, I took the dive and started a Twitter account that very day! And immediately, I started following other writers, Christians, and moms who have similar interests.
I also had followers!
Which One Is Which?
Well, you can't try ALL of the social networking tools out there. You'd go nuts!
But do try the big three: Facebook, Twitter, and blogging.
After that positive experience, I decided to start an Author Facebook page where I could post about writing events and other news about my books.
So far, so good.
I find that Facebook can be a most valuable tool for getting your product out there.
But I feel the biggest change came when I starting to blog regularly. I blog 3 times a week about different subjects and, as a result, I have met other writers, literary agents, and other experts in their fields.
The information exchange has benefitted me immensely!
Now, blogging has become a regular part of my life.
I Can't Wait!
And I can't wait to share things on my blog about writing, faith in God, and other points of interest.
My personal brand has evolved and so has my platform.
My name is getting out there little by little so when my next book is released...I will be able to reach out to more people than ever before.
Why Social Network?
If you have a product to sell, I highly recommend getting your name out there. Create a personal brand. Tell the world who you are and what you are about.
Yes, I know social networking can be a negative....but it can also be used for good!
I am planning on a mission trip early this summer and I can't wait to blog about it, post pictures on Facebook, and send tweets out on Twitter about the events of the day.
Why?
It's all about making connections and informing the world about who you are and what you do. You'd be surprised! There are so many incredible people out there who do and love the things you do. By making contact, you will be furthering your message!
Make it a positive one!
Blessings,
Ruth
So true, Ruth! I love social networking! But just the big 3. Too much takes away from my writing and family time. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I've tried LinkedIn and Google circles, but got burned out. Too much computer time!!
DeleteGlad it's worked out for you and so glad we met through social networking!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Social networking has changed my life! I love making those connections. I've loved growing in this together and giving each other tips too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know!! We both have learned so much since the ACFW conference in October. Just think what we will learn at this year's conference!
DeleteYay!
I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution.
ReplyDeleteMy husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr ajeghe a spellcaster, can help get lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after 2 days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family.

ReplyDeleteHere is the wonderful thing Dr Reethesh did for me that saved my home. I was having serious trouble in my marriage, Things weren't going fine between me and my wife, we were always fighting ourselves for no good reason and this issue almost ended up killing ourselves during any fight we had. But thanks to Dr Reethesh for coming to our rescue. On this day after me and my wife had an argument she left the house. After she left I came back to my senses. It's just like something bad left my body. So I told myself that I need to look for a solution. That's how I went online and did some research so I came across good review testimonies about Dr Reethesh how he has been helping a lot of people in restoring their broken home. So I reached out to Dr Reethesh and explained myself to him, After he did everything he needed to do. He explained to me that the person behind me and my wife's troubles is my Ex-girlfriend. She wants my wife to leave me alone so she can take the place of my wife. I asked Dr Reethesh what the solution was and he told me what needed to be done. So I paid for all the items needed. When Dr Reethesh did his work the rest was history. Dr Reethesh was able to destroy the evil spell my Ex-girlfriend did to destroy my home and helped me to bring everything back to normal between me and my wife. My wife and I apologized to ourselves and made peace with ourselves. Today me and my lovely wife are living happily together without any troubles.

ReplyDeleteHow my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself. Please be careful about some persons you call your friend. I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city. So one day my husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what's happening. He never gave me attention or listened. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control. I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR WALE telling me that DR WALE will save my marriage. When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. I paid for all materials needed to get the job done. DR WALE found out that it was my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said it was my friend that told my husband negative things DR WALE went forward to say they were both having an affair together. So DR WALE did what he knows how to do best telling me my husband will come begging. DR told me that my best friend did an evil spell so my husband turned his back on us. But all thanks to DR WALE my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him. because DR WALE has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We're living together as one big family now. If you want back your Ex-partner DR WALE is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp/Telegram: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
