FOR WRITERS
Angel is taking a break from her Bits this week. Yeah, I knew that sounded wrong as soon as I typed it. :P
Anyhow, today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Ben Brock:
“Which social media platforms are best for which things?”
I’ll elaborate a bit. As writers, we need to reach out to current and potential readers to energize and grow our fan base.
Are some social media platforms better for reaching different parts of the LGBTIQA rainbow? Are some better for promo? What about bang for the buck? Are some best for advertising, while others may be better for actual interaction?
Go where your audience is. If you write YA, go to SnapChat. Write science fiction? Try Tumblr or Twitter.
Also, have fun but don’t overextend yourself.
I’m very interested in other people’s answers to this. I’m still finding out the answer myself. I used Facebook, but I also have to be careful on Facebook, because I have some very young friends there. I tweet a lot, but it’s easy to get lost in the tweets. One has to choose link, photo, or blurb on tumblr, or at least I have. I’ve used my blogs a lot, plus I’ve used other social mediums to create links to them. However, I have to careful about this. One of my blogs already got blocked by Facebook, so there’s a limit to how much I can use Facebook as a connection to my blogs.
Heya,
The link is going to an interview from last year, I am not sure it’s the one you wanted to use,
