is blogging and tweeting a waste of time? what writers should know about social media
* is social media a waste of a writer's time? it can be
* more & more authors will be coming online & doing the same kinds of things
* an effective author platform requires vision, depth & breadth
* breadth: you need to range across multiple platforms
* eventually you'll form 'social media magnetism' (maybe!) and your online life will take on a life of its own
* but that requires depth and quality of content, strategic insight into who you are & what you can contribute
* develop a vision for where you want to take your tribe, how you can improve their lives in some way, what coolness you can add to the world
* think of your author platform as an extension of your body of work
* I'm attached to the idea of using social media to help grow your creative legacy, discover & develop it
* is it a risk of your time and energy? maybe, depending on your tenacity & creativity
* sometimes the biggest risk is to do nothing at all
