There are so many social media tools, sites and systems coming online that an author might think about a wait and see approach
Please don’t fall in this trap.
The world is moving so fast that you really need to budget some time to catch a wave as soon as possible. You will need to manage your time.. social media is not a replacement for all other marketing.
Use Google Buzz to Jump Start Your Social Media Plan
Announced just two days ago, Google’s BUZZ has been tried out by 10 million users and updated
If you have been holding back on other social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.. Google Buzz might be just the thing you need to jump start your social media marketing for you and your book.
Signing up is easy.. if you have a Google Talk or Gmail account, you likely already have seen it. If now, now is a good time to get one (FREE).
Publishing is not a one-way street any more. Smart authors are learning to listen to the readers, research their market, establish connections and get quick feedback on ideas.
