Please stop tweeting your BOOK LINK! so much

This is an AWESOME comic from The Oatmeal – PLEASE GO LOOK at it there is much more: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/facebook_likes

This may just be a personal pet peeve, but writers, you have to stop inundating us with links on how we can buy your book. If every blog post is about how we should buy your book, and every tweet is how we should buy your book, and every facebook post is about how we should buy your book – we WILL stop following you.

You have to contribute to the conversation going on in social media, and your contribution can’t just be ‘Hey look at me!’ every 1.5 hours on your Buffer schedule.

It’s ok to post even one tweet a day or two about how I can buy your book, but no more!

I know someone in the comments is going to tell me off, or declare that they’ve sold a kajillion* books by tweeting the same message in caps every hour on the hour, but I’m begging you. Vary it up — even just for the sanity of the interwebs.

Ok, PSA over. Back to your regularly-scheduled lives people.
