Social networks like MySpace, Facebook, Shelfari and Chapters Community are very 'hot', and they CAN be used by authors to create branding and promote their books. But how?
In July 2008, I presented on a panel at the 2008 CanWrite! Conference in Edmonton, Alberta. The topic of the panel was Hot Trends, Hot Markets. As an author, I was looking at this topic from the perspective of aspiring and published authors.
As someone who's been nicknamed "Shameless Promoter" because I promote my books with everything I've got, utilizing everything I can think of or learn about, I want to share what I've learned. This information will help writers and authors connect with readers and fans, which can lead to sales once a book has been published.
The question I asked myself was: "Which hot trend or market is really on fire today, one that actually benefits writers and authors?"
The answer I came up with?
SOCIAL NETWORKING!
