Are you saying that I shouldn't pre-set the time my post goes live, so to speak, having it go to Facebook and Twitter? That I should do it manually instead? <br /><br />I'm good on the other two areas. I don't do those. But this first one, I need to make sure I'm doing it well. :) <br /><br />This has been helpful, as always.

As far as selling books. Social media and blogging creates relationships and that will eventually help you with book sales, but it's not advertising or mass marketing.

Just a general post about a blog doesn't get much traction. Also, it's fine to post about older posts as well.

You can keep your own posts from showing up both places by making sure you don't post the same update both places. <br /><br />Right now, I don't recommend an author page on Facbook. Here's a link to the post I wrote explaining why and how to get around it: http://thewriteconversation.blogspot.com/2015/01/social-media-mondayditch-professional.html<br />Thans for the good question!

I know a little about hootsuite but want to hear what you think about using it the right way. There is such a fine line between time saving and tuning out your audience.

The main reason is that my feed gets flooded with posts when an author posts on her/his author page and it automatically appears on their personal page so I get everythign twice. Is there a way to post on an author page so it only appears there and not on the personal page?Mary Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688996930245857265noreply@blogger.com
