Sharon, it takes work, and it takes more than Facebook.

Sounds great. But how do we do it? I already have three books in publication by reputable publishers,and I’m working on a third. People on my Facebook know I write, but I can’t just keep yammering about my books to people who are my personal friends and co-workers in the entertainment industry. It sounds like constant boasting. Many of these friends are prominent actors, directors, writers, singers, etc., who are would quickly tire of such demonstrations. I don’t blog, and I don’t Tweet. I’m not interested in following someone’s blog or Tweet; I find it pretentious; moreover what can I say that my friends haven’t heard before? I’ve done speaking engagements, but the attendees are always writers looking for advice on how to get their work published. Help!

It’s a slow process, Daron, but hang in there — it’s worth it.

I will try to keep the advice in mind. It seems like a lofty goal to have traffic of over 20,000 a month to my website. However, I will do what I can to build my fan base.

Thank you.

Jennifer…I know exactly what you mean…my book came out in Sept of 2010…and the month before, I started a blog, website, FB, Twitter, LinkedIn…YIKES! Yes, it is better if one starts years before…but it is what it is. 🙂
About the FB page…have you gone to your profile or set up page…I’m thinking that when I set up my FB page for my book, I had the opportunity to choose the simple URL…without all the numbers and junk. Unless they have new rules now…perhaps you have to get a certain number of ‘likes’. I’ll go over and like your page right now. 🙂 Best of luck!

It can feel like a slow process, Jennifer, so don’t get discouraged. And the connections you make around this book will stay with you for the next one, too.

My tribe is anyone interested in pregnancy, birth, and the first year of life — in making it safer. I started a FB page for the book I have coming out in 11 days. Wish I had followed Seth’s advice and started it three years ago (how?!). It is here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Business-of-Baby/317063605077912 (yes, I know. It should have a customized URL but I can’t get FB to allow me to do so. Oy.)
