I know a lot of fairly successful authors who choose only two three mediums and stick to only that. In my case, it would be blogging, twitter, and Facebook. I'm on Google+ but I must admit I find it confusing. But as I edge closer to publication, I am now considering how much information about myself I should share on Facebook. <br /><br />I agree with the general consensus that if you are an amazing author you don't need social media in the same way - your name alone sells your books. For the rest of us, it is all about promotion and writing well.Ellie Garratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731071128348213067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-80117577885769226732012-10-02T01:17:38.032+10:002012-10-02T01:17:38.032+10:00Interesting discussion.

Getting Free on Amazon means a reader who doesn't read and understand the genre gets it and gives a negative review. <br /><br />On the hand, it does get it into the hands of new readers!

Even when choosing free products now readers are becoming more particular. I actually think short-lived free promotions for your book or free material on your blog is a good thing.Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059559142070140041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-53044338405047330832012-09-29T19:51:00.431+10:002012-09-29T19:51:00.431+10:00Free...I feel mixed about it.

Sending a free copy to a 'reviewer' is much different than giving it away to an amazon customer who may or may not like the genre, but who writes a review based on a partial read just because they can.Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.com
