Authors: I need your help!
You’d be amazed how many social networking sites there are out there for authors and their readers. I certainly was…
As part of a marketing project for a client, I spent some time this week scouring the web for such sites. Many of them are very similar in how they function — they’re essentially Facebook for book lovers and book writers.
So do these sites work? Are they effective? You tell me!
Here’s the list of sites I amassed this week:
- GoodReads.com
- LibraryThing.com
- BookBlogs.Ning.com
- WeRead.com
- FiledBy.com
- RedRoom.com
- AuthorsDen.com
- Shelfari.com
Have any of you used these sites? Have you found them to be effective in creating a buzz for your books or attracting new readers? Have they been worth your time? Which ones have you found to be the most effective?
Please share your thoughts … I’d love to be able to advise my clients in the future on which ones are worth investing the time in.
Thanks!
