100% agree with you Anne. It’s always about the “product” or “service” in the end, so you’re not being shortsighted at all. However, think about this for a second… to your readers, you are a SUPERSTAR! Letting them in even a little is more than they’ll ever get from their favorite TV or movie star. Letting them connect with you is a great thing. That’s really what it’s all about and what I’m saying. Then, when they connect with you, they’ll feel all that much closer and if their friends weren’t already reading your stuff, they’ll have to, even if it’s just to shut their friend fan up! Like I said, make it PART of your efforts, don’t focus on it. And, outsource it to someone like me if that’s not possible. Just don’t ignore it. Thanks for posting your comments and I’ll continue to reply to those with questions.

Thanks for posting, Chris. You made some interesting points.
I have a toe in social networking – I tweet and blog but don’t do facebook. There is, I think, a limit to what social networking can do for novelists — it’s more about the book and the world you create in the book, isn’t it? Or am I being shortsighted here?

Thank you for these wonderful comments! I’m very glad to hear at least one person chime in that they have become more “social” in their marketing efforts. You will find that this will be to your advantage as you figure out the “game” and eclipse others Kathy, thank you for your nice words as well and always a pleasure to interact with you. Looking so forward to our upcoming adventures together! Best to all! -Chris

Nice summary, Chris.

To all my sister and fellow NINCers, I just signed a contract with Chris to do much of what is listed above. I have a facebook fan page and am not getting much out of it and I’m afraid of Twitter. He’s easy to work with, has tons of good ideas and is able to pinpoint what you need at this time in your career. I’ll let you know how this all turns out, but it’s looking good so far.

Great advice! Thank you! I recently started being more active in social media. I’m not sure if it’s impacting my sales yet, but I do like the interaction.
