Sally, this is kind of depressing, don’t you think? It seems like some see social networks as nothing more than promotional platforms. It’s going to work against them.

I have had two DMs of this kind recently after accepting invites on Facebook and one actually asked me to buy her book and review without any salutation or questions about whether it was a genre that might interest me. Practical advice for all authors new and experienced.

Great tip, Sonia! Hahahahaha!

It is unthinkable that people would be so clueless–the publishing equivalent of standing at the door of a networking event handing business cards to all attendees. Yet we see it all the time.

Posts like this are much needed and I wish anyone aggressively peddling their wares on FB would read it. Not just authors.

Here’s a tip for losing friends: market a book and Isagenix products bundle.

Good point! A lot of people feel that way.

If I get any posts like that, not only will you get unfriended, you’ll lose a reader and get blocked.

I’ve had to change my settings to approve content that tags me, too, Vasala. You’re so right about boundaries!

It’s unfortunate, isn’t it, Marla? I think a lot of the time, it’s because they read somewhere that they should be “promoting on Facebook,” but they don’t pause long enough to learn how.

I see lots of authors just spamming away and not connecting. Being helpful and social is the only way to create raving fans on facebook.

I’ve become wary of Facebook Messenger because I’m always being attacked to join a webinar or purchase something. Thank God we can stop the messages!

I’ve had people post on my Wall to promote their book or course and I’ve adjusted my settings to approve posting or tagging. My Wall is my Wall and like yourself, I was inspired to write not 1 but 3 blog posts on Facebook Etiquette a few years ago as part of my social media etiquette series. It seems not much has changed since.
