    How many times have you heard that social media is a must for authors? Probably way more than you want to. But how often do we hear why it's important?

    6: Facebook profiles, pages and groups, oh my!

    Facebook seems to be the social media platform that many authors feel like they have to be on, but not as many actually want to be on. I get it. With the privacy concerns and the creepily targeted advertising and relatives sharing questionable content, it’s not always the happiest place to be. But, it’s often the place to be. It’s still the leading social media platform in terms of audience size and breadth. And the variety of ways you can engage with people makes it hard to beat for authors. In this episode, I’m going to break down the three main spaces on Facebook and the best uses for each, from an author’s perspective. Those three spaces are profiles, pages and groups.

    5: Instagram Stories vs. Feed

    Instagram Stories is the most popular Instagram feature for users (with more than 400 million daily users), but a lot of authors aren't sure when to use InstaStories over the feed. Or, how to use all of those cool features like adding gifs to the posts. In this episode, I talk about the main differences between Instagram Stories and Feed, and specific examples of how to use them in a way that complements each other.
