Are you gradually moving into summer?
Since I have kids in school, I was happy to get to the end of Friday and declare school over for another year! We are lucky here as our temperatures are still mild. I’m not a fan of hot weather and I’m enjoying the weather that we have now.
I’ve been busy creating some helpful videos!
I’ve turned my attention toward the Facebook Author Page – or what some call a Facebook Business page. Many people seem to live their lives on Facebook – I frequently get complaints from authors who claim they can’t get their audience to look at other parts of their social media platform – perhaps they have some YouTube videos, like I do – or they are particularly proud of their Pinterest boards.
Today’s post bring a straight forward solution to that issue.
Do you remember the show from some years ago called “Pimp Your Ride?” In this show a car is acquired – ok…let’s say the owner thinks it is stolen – and it is given all sorts of work – a new paint job, fancy new tires, a new sound system, specialized modifications to the interior – maybe all of that – and then given back to it’s owner.

My husband loved this show and would be in awe of what changes could be made to a car each week.
I thought I would steal the title for this week’s post as it gives you the idea of what can be done to a Facebook page. Honestly, this functionality has been around for some time, but it used to be quite awkward to accomplish. Most of what I’m going to show you today uses the free functionality of an app called WooBox.
WooBox – found at http://WooBox.com – has paid functionality as well as free. In today’s videos I’m going to show you how to use the free functionality.
Two of my Facebook pages have been “Pimped.” Feel free to take a look at my Business page or my Author page
And now for the videos! I’ve got one video for each of the following:
display your website/blog
display your Pinterest boards
display and play a YouTube video
display and play all the videos on a YouTube channel
display your Twitter stream
display your Goodreads account (this one doesn’t use WooBox, but I thought I’d round out the videos with this one)
It is also possible to display your books listed on Amazon, but I’ll leave that video until another day.

This coming week, The Author Platform is going on sale on Amazon. It will drop to 99 cents for a few days for the Kindle copy.
If you are just starting out, this book explains all the various social media at a beginner level. It is meant to be non-intimidating and basic. It is also meant to be a building block to something more complicated – to give you a basic understanding that can be built on.
Have fun experimenting with your platform until next time!
