Authors, Do You Need a Rest from Social Media?<br />

Authors, whether you like it or not,<br />

posting, tweeting and sharing<br />

content is an integral part of your<br />

marketing and promotion efforts.<br />

And, while there are many automated<br />

platforms you are still required to<br />

manually create the post, add the<br />

image and then schedule it.<br />

This is great if you are away on<br />

holidays, and you want your social<br />

media to continue to work for you,<br />

but when does it stop?<br />

The effort alone can take hours of<br />

your time. Time that could be spent<br />

writing, drinking coffee and, well,<br />

doing just about anything that is<br />

more interesting.<br />

How long is too long on Social<br />

Media?<br />

Many authors have been sharing and<br />

posting about their books for years.<br />

They have been creating hundreds, if<br />

not thousands, of posts promoting in<br />

an effort to sell copies.<br />

But, where does it end?<br />

Where does it stop?<br />

What happens if you need to step<br />

away from your computer for a long<br />

time? What then?<br />

What Happens When You Stop<br />

Posting and Sharing on Social<br />

Media?<br />

Have you ever stopped posting and<br />

sharing on social media?<br />

Have you noticed what happens?<br />

Nothing – everything stops.<br />

Within a few days your analytics<br />

begin to drop off. Your post shares<br />

and likes slowly diminish, and you<br />

stop getting followers.
