I intentionally didn't go down the social media rabbit hole. I have a blog site and 150 followers and I post once or twice a month. Then i have time to live and to write and to be. Fortunately writing is my Act 2 in life and I will continue to eat whether my books sell or not. I publish through a small indie press and fellow authors frequently complain they do all the work for social media and then FB or Instagram or Twitter use algorithms to limit who sees their work. So...I don't go there. I read other people's blogs. I share their information. I buy their books.
I agree. Social media marketing is a time and energy suck. I’ll probably cut back on posting. Facebook is the only place I’m sure I’ve gotten preorders for my book. And it was only because the people have known me personally for years.
