Networking 101: FaceBook postings on your page/groups

Good Morning Readers,

I hope that you are having a wonderful day so far. As an author/film maker, each day should be a marketing day for you. Some forms of marketing: are making calls, FaceBook posts, Twitter posts, radio interviews, television appearances, or even emails. But today, I would like to speak on FaceBook postings and Groups. Here are some things that I have learned about FaceBook postings on your page:

1. Only you and your friends can see the postings. Set your status to public so everyone can see the posts.
2. You have to craft your posts so that it will draw in more readers/viewers.
3. Advertise yourself each day and at different times of the day.
4. Post links/websites to where your information/product can be found.
5. Be willing to accept comments on your postings. Feedback can help you to improve your product as you market your book to others.

And here are some things that I have learned from FaceBook Literary Groups:
1. You have to be willing to market your book/film to the audience that could benefit from your work.
2. When you enter groups, speak to everyone so that people will know who you are.
3. Post links/websites each time you create a post. If people don't remember the title of your work, your website will take them to where your information can be found.
4. Join as many groups as you can. Your book/film needs lots of exposure and FaceBook (and other networking sites) can help you get the exposure that you need.
5. Be willing to learn from the veterans in the Groups. Read the postings that come in so that you can make sure that your product is in order before it hits the newsstands.

Overall, market your book/film like it is the best product out there. If you created it, you have to believe in your product. Your enthusiasm in marketing your product could determine whether people buy your product or not. Well, that's my advice for the day. I am signing on.

The Author Journey continues.............
