Calling all authors…Do you Facebook?
I’m thinking of deleting my Facebook page.
The negatives:
1. I barely remember to look at it. Guess Facebook is not high on my list of priorities.
2. There are only a few people, fellow authors and one cover artist, who I keep in touch with via Facebook and I have their email addresses in any case.
3. Not a single fan has contacted me via my Facebook page.
4. I’m concerned about Facebook’s new public info sharing.
5. A mini anecdote: Some authors I chat with recommended that I friend a particular super helpful author so I could benefit from her knowledge and experience. I was told she’s just great with new authors. Besides, her name kept popping up on my Facebook recommendations. When I tried to friend her, she declined my request, but suggested I join her fan page. That pretty much made me feel like crap.
The positives:
1. Exposure?
2. Free publicity?
3. A little help? What are the positives for you? Why do you or do you not Facebook? I really want to know.
