I'm Not Social #mfrwauthor
Welcome to this week's Friday post in the 2018 MFRW challenge. This week's topic required some thought. First off, I don't enjoy hanging out just for the sake of it. There are too many parts of my life that require attention and time. Connecting for me is a one-on-one effort, not a shotgun blast out into the ether. Then there is the question of an almost identical 2017 topic.
Rather than recap the 2017 challenge post which covered online hangouts, the official 2018 topic is "Favorite Social Media Hangouts." So, rather than rehash last year's post, I thought I'd look at how things have changed.
Facebook is changing their algorithms yet again. Long gone are the days when every friend or follower received your post in their timeline so I tend to focus more on groups.
My sharing on Twitter has increased through participation in MFRW programs especially the monthly Retweet Party.
Goodreads is still where I connect with readers both through the cross-posting of my blog and through groups. However, even that contact has changed now that the costs to do a giveaway can exceed the lifetime earnings of a book.
Although some wouldn't consider a blog as social media, I would say my favorite social media site is my blog. It allows me to share craft and life. I share news of my writing, notes on writing life, and bits too long for Facebook and Twitter. A really good day is when a review is posted or a reader leaves a note.
Now that I've shared some insights, to find me at the hangout of your choice, click on the icons on the sidebar or the links below. Hope to hang out soon. And be sure to visit the other authors in the challenge.
~till next time, find me at the hangouts below. Helen
