I've a couple of sites I belong to that Tweet for me (Independent Author Network & Author Shout) and I try to use HootSuite to schedule days in advance. Been slow getting up to speed on that though. Everyone says designate a specific amount of time/day to be social, but I struggle with that. Luckily through the Kid Lit Blog Hop, I'm part of a good group of supporters who RT and help me. ccarpinellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082365571251151043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-72399883851644391792015-02-20T17:36:39.138-07:002015-02-20T17:36:39.138-07:00Thanks for stopping by, AJ.

What a brave new world. How do you balance the writing versus marketing? Do you have a set amount of time/posts/strategic plan to attack the behemoth of social media?bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276643404117230382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-53676290713817004392015-02-20T15:59:59.863-07:002015-02-20T15:59:59.863-07:00Awesome!

I have yet to have the pets make it to Instagram or Triberr and many others. #NeedMoreTime I voted for your cover - good luck on that and with your blog tour! I adore the way they list their packages on that site. As always, thanks for hosting the #KidLitBlogHop! <br />~Cool Mom for<br />The Stanley & Katrina GangHummingbird (20SecondsWithMC)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06069347953785436510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-50676390624710800352015-02-19T03:40:20.254-07:002015-02-19T03:40:20.254-07:00Thanks for the marketing tips, Cheryl. I think yo...Thanks for the marketing tips, Cheryl. I think you're right that publishing has changed, and the ease of getting published means there are more books out there to swim with - hence the need to be able to wave at our potential readers and say "Here we are!" Before I self-published my 'marketing' time was spent sending out letters and manuscripts to more agents and publishers who promised to send them back if I sent a stamped addressed envelope. I never got one back!<br /><br />I'm really grateful to have linked up with a lot of great readers and supportive co-authors through the Kid Lit Blog Hop (among other things). The most difficult thing is marketing to potential readers rather than other authors, and I wonder whether Triberr could lead to just spending more time with the same tribe?<br /><br />I'm having to step out into new pastures with my new book; White Water Landings is my Dad's memoirs. Fortunately I can start with a 'warm' audience of flying enthusiasts. I hope! But it's not a kid lit book.Jemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.com
