With so many social media platforms to choose from, how can authors be sure they are choosing the right ones that are actually worth your time? In this episode, I'll share the platforms where I sell the most books, how many platforms I recommend authors use, and the effectiveness of platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, and Twitter / X. No matter which platform you choose, there will be a learning curve and it takes time to know if a strategy works, but with this episode, you'll learn which platforms would be beneficial for you to try!
