Seems like you’re on the right track Alan. Developing a following is a challenge and it has been an uphill battle for me as well. Achieving social media success is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep learning and growing!

Thank you Sonia for this evaluable lessons learned; all of them resonate with me! To answer your question, my biggest book marketing lesson is to learn how to use social media properly. I’m still on the journey to success, having published only 3 books so far, but I have at least gained a lot more exposure for what I do and why I do it, thanks to careful use of particular social media channels. The No 1 lesson for that is one’s attitude: when approaching social media, the attitude should be not to try and sell, but rather to build relationships, thus gaining a genuine following, organically. To achieve this one must ‘give’ far more than ‘ask’. Still working on that and learning every day from countless mistakes, but learning is growth!

Sonia and Sandra, Thank you for these valuable marketing insights. While it isn't one of the five points, I particularly identified with your subhead "Learning the Hard Way" which I seem to have done over and over. Having a plan and consistently executing it over and over is key (or has been for me). With gratitude, Terry author of 10 Publishing Myths, Insights Every Author Needs to Succeed
