Social media can be hit or miss but consistency helps to yield better results. Posting a few times a week makes a difference - if you post less than once a week, you're not building a presence people can remember (and then hopefully buy your book).Maureen McCannhttp://www.wpamplify.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-65454785499098386922014-03-02T12:04:13.687-05:002014-03-02T12:04:13.687-05:00You're welcome!

I love to have all types of books on my blog. :) Promoting is very tricky and it's hard to know how to do it right. I'm still learning and will, no doubt, continue to learn. I haven't tried to boost any of my posts on FB either, but I may try it some day to see what happens. You're welcome. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-82146117458571023552014-01-23T21:56:00.802-05:002014-01-23T21:56:00.802-05:00Congratulations on making the top list, Chrys! I a...Congratulations on making the top list, Chrys! I always admire writers who work hard on both their writing and their promoting. (Promotion is difficult for so many of us.) I'm nervous about promoting my upcoming MG novel on Kindle. Still getting the formatting done, then I'll be off to plan my marketing/promoting rounds. It's a tricky balance: promoting and not bombarding people with news on the release. I also haven't tried Goodreads, but will give it a go this time. FB didn't work much for me, probably because I didn't pay to boost my posts and all the likes are from my close bunch of writer/reader friends who've already read my ebooks. Thanks for sharing your experience here!Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-39139037273253223172014-01-23T19:47:52.713-05:002014-01-23T19:47:52.713-05:00You're welcome, Tyrean!

I was frantic trying to set things up because Hurricane Crimes was set to release on KDP in a week! I barely stayed sane. I didn't have much time to plan, so I hope that is different for you. If you ever need any help, advice, or a guest spot, just ask. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-75636364193077675802014-01-23T11:49:03.554-05:002014-01-23T11:49:03.554-05:00Thanks, Diana!

The final day tends to fizzle a little (not a lot) but the first two days generate a fair amount of interest. The results are longer lasting than the free days, too. I have to go back and reread, and visit the other posters, but the information is excellent!<br /><br />Diana at <a href="http://dianawilder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">About Myself By Myself</a>Diana Wilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074083771067857127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-71136844535470592442014-01-21T19:45:18.361-05:002014-01-21T19:45:18.361-05:00Thank you, Elizabeth.
