Video: Joanna Penn Shows Writers How To Use Social Media To Promote Your Works by nollywood20: 3:53pm On Dec 20, 2012 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbBrTiQOLRE Along with blogging, I have found Twitter to be a fantastic way to grow my audience, get traffic to my blog and sell books and courses online. But regardless of the social network you want to use, there is one sure way to use it effectively without wasting time. *FOCUS* on one social network and use it to specifically promote your brand and direct people to your online hub. You can choose Facebook, Goodreads, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest or any other social network, but you need to focus or you will become overwhelmed by it all. In this video, I specifically explain how authors and writers can use twitter to promote themselves and sell books => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbBrTiQOLRE The tips apply to any social network: * Focus on your niche and your brand. 

I only tweet about writing, publishing and book marketing. I don't go off topic as people won't stay interested. * Be useful. 

 Provide interesting and useful information and people will share your content. Remember to use great catchy headlines as well since this makes a big difference to how people share. 80% of the time I tweet other people's blog posts and links, and only 20% I link to my own. People trust that and will retweet and share the information. * Interact and create relationships. Don't be a spammer or a broadcaster. Interact on the network and become a part of the community. Most of my podcasts have come from people I met on twitter first and then connected with on the phone. This is why I say you need to focus, otherwise you won't be able to do these things effectively without spreading yourself too thin and becoming disheartened.
