He's right in many respects. People are always sharing the latest news in a variety of industries: social media, writing (conferences, new books, etc.), PR, etc. So share what's new, promote your books, and help other authors promote their books too. I also like to say that Twitter is a social media channel that Miss Manners would love because people are very courteous. Twitter users thank each other for following and retweeting and they reply to some messages or give them a favorite status. It may seem daunting but once you start using it, I bet you'll love it.Frances Caballohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029295766447541574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-81021655867718080032013-01-11T10:47:12.669-08:002013-01-11T10:47:12.669-08:00@Julie, thanks!

Then list your blog and social media sites. Then take a further step by adding an AuthorRank widget to your website. It's easier than it seems. (I'm not a website technie and I was able to do it.) Copyblogger wrote about AuthorRank today so check out the blog post. Combined, these steps will enhance your SEO. Aside from that, simply post daily on Google+ and allocate a few minutes a day to be social.Frances Caballohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029295766447541574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-3157693114878295792013-01-10T17:03:15.889-08:002013-01-10T17:03:15.889-08:00LOL.

Next week, I'll be posting a blog that updates information on some apps in that section.
