Social media for writers

Spent a couple of hours yesterday with Caron Lyon of PCM Creative who I've awarded the challenge of co-ordinating my social media efforts and installing a strategy for using it.

I like working with people who really know their stuff and she is full of bright ideas for helping me use all these platforms efficiently.  That's the thing - for me it has to be practical and as easy as possible to do because otherwise I won't do it. 

What I'm looking for are a few places I can go and schedule appropriate text to go across a wide a spectrum of sites as make sense for me.  It's starting to come together and it has to because it's important that I can make it work for me, then I can pass on tips to others.

For more information about Caron and what she can offer go to www.pcmcreative.co.uk/

  1. I'll be interested in seeing how well you do. On the whole I've not been that successful with my efforts to promote my work using social media. Perhaps because I'm an anti-social pig at heart and people can see through me. I don't know.

  2. I'll post any results I have. At the moment I'm building a following slowly and that suits me but I do find it useful to share in a timely fashion any events, or updates. And I occasionally see people who comment in a postive way on my contributions which is always heartening.
