“Social media just sux,” so say many authors. We go from consumers to creators and for some of us introverted authors, that’s a big deal.
Hey, is this you when it comes to social media…
Y
ou’ve spent all day carefully crafting a text, which you cleverly turned into a tweet that you also shared in a group. The response… *chirping crickets*
So, you turn that ignored tweet into a Facebook post. You attach a photo perfect for the algorithm, tagging all those who’ll love it, and send it off in hope of that feel-good dopamine hit.
Only to return the next day to find that you’ve received two likes, one shocked face, and a care emoji from that middle-school English teacher you never liked.
But you don’t give up. You send it over to LinkedIn. Then, after Googling how to make a reel, you create a text-only Instagram post you share to stories, then update your bio, and avatar, to then accidentally delete your entire account.
But that’s okay. You still have the other 100+ social media accounts out there, so all hope is not lost for selling one simple book to a stranger.
Sound familiar?
Welcome to the minefield known as modern marketing.
Sadly, most of us authors suck at it!
Now, before you hate on me, let’s not forget we’re writers, not marketers.
I get it.
Oh brother, do I get it? And I’ve heard many of my students moaning out their own death marches when it comes to social media.
As an aspiring author, social media can be such a foreign world to you, it’s like scaling Mount Everest in a pair of heels.
Or does working on social media make you feel like you’re being made to sing a Spanish opera while running on a treadmill, naked, in the middle of a crowded shopping mall?
So can we all agree that social media kinda sucks for authors.
