Social Media - A Great Guide!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2017

Social media plays a large role in promoting for today’s author. But are you using social media as efficiently as you could? Are you using the right sites? If you’re an author, unless you’re a social media guru, this book is for you. The most popular sites from Facebook to Snapchat, Goodreads, Twitter and more, are laid out, analyzed for their advantages and disadvantages – what works best and what might not work at all. The author reveals invaluable nuggets of information such as the 80/20 rule where twenty percent of content posted should be about your books, the other eighty percent from other sources. Shorter is better and of course, then there’s the pictures. On social media, pictures rule! Referencing such terms as social karma, the author explains how your actions directly affect your sales and goes through the step by step process from setting up to wielding the sites like a pro. It is a clearly written manual that will help you connect with your readers easily and efficiently. Well written, well researched – well thought out. This book is a must have!

Excellent Book to Have in Your Writing Toolbox!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2017

A must-read book for all writers and bloggers!

This book is such an excellent book to have in your writing toolbox!

I don’t write books, but I am a blogger and pretty much have just learned how to blog on the fly. I’ve always loved writing and I’m a millennial so I have the odd desire to constantly share and post EVERYTHING LOL!! I have really enjoyed blogging over the past couple years!! It started as a hobby and has turned into so much more!! I know there was still a lot that I was missing with my blogging and this book has helped fill in some of those holes. There is so much I learned from this book that I am so excited to start practicing and incorporating into my blogging. There is always room for learning and whether you are a writer or a blogger and have been for years, this book can still help you!

One thing I loved about this book is that it’s not just for novices – there is so much in this book that there’s something even for the more experienced writers and well, everyone in-between!

This book has a stronger focus on the Twitter and Facebook worlds. However, in addition, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tumblr, and Goodreads are addressed.

There is so much detail and step by step guides that make it so easy to follow. Which brings me to the second thing I loved about this book. There are photos in this book that show step by step instructions and examples of what you are working on building towards.

This book also teaches you how to measure and monitor your social media stats so you can interpret the data and work towards increasing your following.

This book will help you understand and utilize social media to your advantage!

Pretty much EVERYONE is on social media these days – so if you want to get your book noticed THIS book will help you get it out there!

I would absolutely recommend this book and this author as the book is very helpful and an important tool that will help you make the most out of your writings! This author has written some similar books that I will also definitely be checking out!
