On social media like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. you get asked to create a handle, page name, account name… If you are going to use a different account for each book or series use the same handle and page name and relate it to your books.

Dorie Clark recently attended the New Media Expo in Las Vegas and got an earful of advice on social media. While many people at the event tweet while they are walking down the hallway or carrying a second battery for their phone so they will never be out of touch others spoke quietly about cutting back on social media. This isn’t about abandoning a platform or technique but about choosing the right platform for you and focusing on that platform. This is excellent advice for authors and we recommend you read the entire article “It’s Time To Cut Back On Social Media.”
Most of us have a love/hate relationship with social media because we really don’t understand the how and why of using it. Social media isn’t for everyone. It can take some time to get started, but if your readers use social media, then you should too.
Social media marketing includes the top three social media sites LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter and blogs, podcasts, webcasts, teleseminars and video sharing sites like YouTube. Any place where people gather to talk and socialize is considered a social media site.
We can’t get into all the aspects of using social media to market your book here but you can check out the FREE webcasts I’ve created on the topic and there are quite a few. Click the link to visit 42Rules to check them out.
