Authors Weigh In
I have tried to capitalize on social media with my latest release. The jury is still out on what is and is not working for me. If you write Christian fiction or non-fiction I suggest you try the Book Club Network (TBCN). TBCN is a readers club that offers many outlets for authors to connect with readers.They have really trained their members to give fair reviews and to post them on several sites.
I also tried a Goodreads giveaway. Again the goal was to get reviews. I offered two different novels on Goodreads. Goodreads readers tended to rate the book without posting a review. Most of my reviews that appear on Goodreads were actually posted by TBCN members.
I am currently running a giveaway (my first) on Amazon. I am really trying to make more people aware of my author presence. The giveaway has been running a couple of days. I’ve had about 250 hits and 1 winner so far. There are 10 prizes available through the end of this month.
If you are an author and have tried any of these avenues or others, I’d like to hear from you. What’s working? What’s not working?
