I don't find those sites as fun and interactive as twitter and facebook. But that's just me :) Other people may love those sites. But for me I find twitter the most fun and facebook would be second. <br /><br />I have found that the more interactive you are with other people the better your books will sell. Readers like to buy books that they can say "my friend wrote this" or "I talk to this author all the time on twitter. She is really nice" or whatever. They want to have a connection with the author. Because it makes them feel a little better about spending the money in this tough economy if they feel like they know the person a little.<br /><br />So my advice would be to first just forget about selling the books. That will come in time. Start with simply making friends and the sales will follow on their one. Once you start having fun with it and making connections and sharing what you did over the weekend and having somebody share back with you what they did. You will start having fun and before you know it the sales will start coming in.Lizzy Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487701722016701690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497196140514019247.post-58323530299651639622012-05-02T07:48:06.155-07:002012-05-02T07:48:06.155-07:00Thanks for stopping my Margay.
