Facebook author's story #2: Editor's Notes #168 June 30, 2014 |
Hello, the business is to collect money and fame from this state of being. --A. A. Milne In this issue: 1. Facebook author story #2 2. Tickled my funnybone 3. Interesting Web site ========== 1. Facebook author story #2 Let me introduce you to another writer who uses Facebook effectively to market her books. Christine Nolfi's posts show up often in my newsfeed. I can tell from what she writes that her books sell. Most people rely on word of mouth to spread their message on Facebook. This works when someone clicks the little Share button at the end of another person's post. Clicking that button (and then taking the next step of clicking the blue button that says Share Link) shows friends what someone else has posted. This is how news travels through Facebook's network. Telling your friends something is great. Having them tell that same thing to their friends multiplies your reach. Others are most likely to share what you post if you post something of value. Good Facebook friends give credit to the person who made the original post. This takes only a minute, but doing this shows others that you are generous and fair. Christine uses both paid and unpaid features of Facebook to promote her books. Yes, you can pay to have your posts put in front other people's eyes, and this is something Christine does.
