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.
