Twitter? Facebook? LinkedIn? Oh My!
I'm everywhere and I've found that people can find me and contact me in their social network of choice - but, it can take a lot of work and upkeep.
Are you on Twitter? Facebook ? LinkedIn?
I've heard of writers getting agents, publishers, editors using social networks. Has it happened to you?
Share! - and I'll share some social networking secrets as we go along....

I pretty much rely on social networks and forums exclusively, rather than paid advertising, to interact with potential authors and self-publishing clients. I know where most of my clients find me, and I really should ask the authors where they came across my company (although my publishing schedule's pretty full, so I'm in no hurry to expand my marketing efforts on that side).
What I'm really interested in is using social networking to reach out directly to readers. Or would you consider that role better suited to my authors and less integral to a publisher's marketing strategy?

Hi Literary-minded Folks,
I am on all of the aforementined sites and others as well.
I find most action is www.filedby.com - the leading website for books and authors on the net (3,000,000 authors and 8,000,000 members)
Secondarily, I have joined several author's groups on www.sta.rtup.biz which is a business oriented social network which has over 70,000 members. As a diamond, I currently have 5 ads running on the right sidebar of all of the pages. Both sites are free to join but require a fee for upgrades,
Another new site for authors and readers is www.polkadotbanner.com
Quite frankly, I am beginning to notice the intellectual calibre of Spannet members and I am delighting in the level of communication and the new friends I have acquired.
Googling book sites will bring up many eg. Goodreads, etc.
I am also a featured member of many organizations where I advertise. If you wish to know more check out My Page.
If you join any of these sites, please let me know and we can support one another.
Also, I hope you choose to add me as a friend.
