Using Facebooks @ tagging for your posts...

[Todd Fonseca]

When using facebook posts to discuss authors or books you may have reviewed - try using the "@" symbol feature to automatically tag and link to that author or books site on facebook and help to drive traffic.

For those not familiar with how this works on fb, to tag and link to an author - say Rai Aren, start by typing the "@" symbol immediately followed by their name - almost immediately a drop down list appears that you can select from. This also works with group pages, product pages, etc. on fb. It is a great way for you to use your posts to link to your own product page on fb (if you have one) and or help out other authors.

To see an example of this, check out this post on the TMBOA facebook page:

Hi Nanette,

You're probably asking this question in the wrong thread, but to answer it: yes, you can buy your own book, and it will count as your first purchase.
