I haven't used any form of social media (yet) as an author presence, and have only been blogging for a bit. But I have been following certain authors for a while, and have to say that I enjoy it when the platforms feel genuine. It's not all marketing, it's not all related to them or even their lives - they make the platform worth my time by making it more than just another pretty outlet for them - instead, it showcases who they are and what they care about beside their own works.

I...I'm not on social media, but I have a blog. I do my best to post once a week, but that doesn't always work out. Being present, not excessive, is so important! I try not to over promote my books in my posts, only promoting if the blog topic can be expanded on by reading my book.<br /><br />A big pet peeve of mine is the blogger who just stops! No explanation! I have a sweet friend who is in college and unable to post, but she let us know ahead of time. That is something I so appreciate! Tell people in advance when you have to take a hiatus. You still have a life to live outside of writing, but when you invite others to share it, please let them know you need a break. They'll love you for it ;)Ryana Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448055348627114720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-68514064779164289812018-07-06T07:40:59.670-05:002018-07-06T07:40:59.670-05:00I agree with absolutely every one of these!

I love when authors share other people’s books, because it makes them more readable to me than if I just saw it on amazon. “Stephanie likes this book, so it must be good.” <br />I also agree that a person should be consistently present on their social media, but don’t overwhelm the feed. That goes for everyone. And engaging, “talk to me” posts are my absolute favorite, as well as posts that deal with an authors personal life moreso than the writing side of it.

I think it's important to smile in your pictures and encourage others with your words and social media. The main thing I've noticed with a lot of authors is how they don't interact (I'm talking about small authors who have blogs or make posts, but then never reply to anything). It's just not . . . polite.
