Kristen Lamb - My Go-To Social Media Queen!!!
Hello to all in D. D. Scott-ville!
I'm very excited to share my latest E-Book Country Experiment!!!
An it begins with the ever-fabulous Kristen Lamb and her must-read social media guide:
WE ARE NOT ALONE: THE WRITER'S GUIDE TO SOCIAL MEDIA
I actually "met" Kristen on Twitter, and have been a huge, huge fan ever since.
She has single-handedly made me feel like not quite as big of a Techno Dunce as I really am!
Her beyond terrific Warrior Writers Blog is also a must-read, and the WE ARE NOT ALONE book...well, let's just say, I do firmly believe that it is one of the main reasons I'm selling so well as a debut Indie Epubbed Author!!!
For example, just this last week, I read in WE ARE NOT ALONE how to use Kristen's "Poaching" Method - but poaching in a positive, all-together legal and fun way - to build new audiences for my books, and wow oh wow is it working!!!
To "poach" your audience, you use the fabulous Search Function on Twitter and identify groups of people to follow based on topics that relate to your books.
Here's how I used Kristen's method:
What are my books - BOOTSCOOTIN' BLAHNIKS, STOMPIN' ON STETSONS, and MUSE THERAPY: UNLEASHING YOUR INNER SYBIL about?
country line dancing
Nashville TN
romantic comedies
chick lit
cupcakes
barbecue
tomatoes
shoes
fashion
cozy mysteries
writing muses
romance reading
epublishing
Okay...you get the idea...
So I did searches on all these topics then simply started following the tweeple who tweet about these things in a positive way. These tweeple just might like my books!!!
And are u ready for my results?!
Since doing this "poaching" for about a week now, I've increased my social media following on not just Twitter but on Facebook too by between 50 and 60 followers and friends on each platform. In addition, I've sold another 25+ books!!!
But the best part...
I've got a ton of new virtual friends who are now leading me to all new resources and communities as well!!!
Try this!!!
I can't wait to hear your results!!!
And a big 'ole shout-out Thank You, Kristen Lamb!!!
