Authors: How to Brand You and Your Books by Jolene MacFadden is a 5 Stars read for me. First, and most important to me for a book on social media, Top Ten was clearly written with easy to follow information. I did not have to read five paragraphs when one would do. The tips on how to connect my various platforms gave me so many ideas. More importantly, it showed me how to use my posting time more wisely. When to post for optimum results depending on the platform. How to find that timing. How often to post. How to track the results. How long to wait to decide if my time investment is working. Every one of these answers matters a great deal to me. As much as I would like to devote all my time to my writing, I can't. I have a working farm. Although it is small it takes up a chunk of my day. Writing itself is another time consuming delight. Social media is fun but it is also very necessary for connecting with fans, new readers, other authors and new markets.
