I’m not usually a big fan of Facebook. Especially since the only way to realize any true benefit there as an author is to shell out $$$….but when I have paid for boosts or ads, I’ve always had good results. (Note to self: continue to use FB for ads).
On a side note—before I get to the main topic—if you are paying for boosts, make sure your next several posts don’t require a large reach. Rumor has it FB holds those posts back with the philosophy if you’ve paid once, you’ll pay again. Eventually, things will even out, but the posts that immediately follow any kind of paid ad or boost generally reach less of your fans. Time for filler and fluff.
But enough with FB bashing. I’m here to say they’ve done something pretty awesome for authors. Thanks to my dear friend Sandra Cox, I’ve discovered the Author…

Thanks for rebloging this. Here’s what I wrote in response to the post:
I saw this post on The Owl Lady’s blog. It interests me because I was on FB for a while solely to market my books. If they had this feature then (3 years ago), I didn’t know about it. I wasn’t getting much traction from my FB site for my books, but a lot of “noise” from people I supposedly knew who wanted me to know all about their lives. I also got feedback that using FB for marketing was “annoying” for lots of FB fans. That surprised me. I have since closed that account and stick exclusively to blogging. I also don’t sell any books! 😦 I’m a writer, not a salesperson!

You must have a publisher then, because I have to wear both hats as an Indie author. @v@ ❤

I have to wear both hats, too. One fits a whole lot better than the other. Bet you can guess which one! 😉
