I got on to it just to see what it was all about &#8211; and then promptly lost interest. When I started my blog, however, I received a lot of &#8216;friend&#8217; requests from other bloggers and readers &#8211; and had to make a decision about how much I wanted to share with the world.<\/p>\n<p>The answer, in my case, was &#8216;not much&#8217;. So I made another decision (phew, so many!) to set up a page for the blog so that I could connect with my cyber-friends there and keep my profile page set to &#8216;so private it&#8217;s hard to find&#8217;. The trouble with the page, however, was that it was a Life In A Pink Fibro page&#8230; which made it hard for people who were looking for &#8216;Allison Tait&#8217; to find it.<\/p>\n<p>Cue: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AllisonTaitWriter\">Allison Tait Facebook page<\/a> was born.<\/p>\n<p>For several months I faffed about with both, but it became increasingly hard work. So I made one final decision (please, let it be over soon) to consolidate onto one page &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AllisonTaitWriter\">Allison Tait<\/a> &#8211; which was agony because I had built a lovely number of likers at the Fibro and had to, really, start all over again.<\/p>\n<p>The pain.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m still there at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AllisonTaitWriter\">Allison Tait<\/a>, feeling comfortable, loving the fact that I can &#8216;chat&#8217; to people about all manner of things, from writing to tv shows to, well, one of my most popular comment threads ever was about washing in cold water, but we won&#8217;t talk about that.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhoo. To me, Facebook is about the &#8216;club&#8217; vibe that you get when a whole lot of people come together. And I love that. But I thought I&#8217;d ask an expert about the best way for writers to use Facebook to actually, you know, sell books.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nathanbransford.com\/\">Nathan Bransford<\/a> is the author of <i>Jacob Wonderbar<\/i> and the <i>Cosmic Space Kapow<\/i> (Dial, May 2011), <i>Jacob Wonderbar for President of the Universe<\/i> (Dial, April 2012) and <i>Jacob Wonderbar and the Interstellar Time Warp<\/i> (Dial, February 2013). He was formerly a literary agent with Curtis Brown Ltd. and is now the social media and programming manager at CNET. He lives in Brooklyn &#8211; and, you know, knows his stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for me, he&#8217;s also very friendly &#8211; and happy to answer random questions!<\/p>\n<p><b>Will Facebook help me to sell books? How?<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Nathan Bransford<\/b>: &#8220;Yes, definitely. Facebook (and social media in general) isn&#8217;t going to be the difference between selling zero copies and being a bestseller, but it is a very good avenue to help readers feel more connected with authors and for people to discover new books.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Do I need an author page as well as a &#8216;profile&#8217;?<\/b><br \/>\n<b>NB<\/b>: &#8220;This really depends on whether you want to keep your presence as an author completely separate from your presence as an individual. Authors can either choose to have a totally separate Facebook page, which can be a little challenging because you have to get people to like it, or allow people to follow your public posts on your personal profile. I personally chose the latter. I find it easier to manage one presence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One thing I would recommend, however, is having a Facebook page for your individual books. When people will like these they will show up in people&#8217;s list of likes, which is a good way of spreading the word about your books.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Do I need huge numbers of friends\/followers for it to work?<\/b><br \/>\n<b>NB<\/b>: &#8220;It certainly helps, but in order to find a huge number of followers you have to start somewhere!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>What kind of content should I be posting?<\/b><br \/>\n<b>NB<\/b>: &#8220;This is totally up to you, but I find that the things that work best are the types of content and announcements that your friends and followers find genuinely useful. Yes, occasionally you have to self-promote to get the word out about your work, but otherwise it&#8217;s better to think about what you can do for your friends and followers and not what they can do for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Top three tips for making the most of Facebook<\/b><br \/>\n1) Be authentic<br \/>\n2) Don&#8217;t ever make people feel spammed<br \/>\n3) Have fun with it<\/p>\n<p><b>Biggest mistakes authors can make on Facebook<\/b><br \/>\n<b>NB<\/b>: &#8220;The absolute biggest mistake is viewing it as simply a way of blasting out your books and your reviews. If all you&#8217;re doing are self-serving announcements people won&#8217;t find much value from your feed and they won&#8217;t feel connected to you personally. Instead, look at it as a way of providing value and interacting with people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Five authors you think are doing Facebook well \u2013 and why<\/b><br \/>\n1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/taherehmafibooks\">Tahereh Mafi<\/a>: She does a great job of providing a mix of behind-the-scenes looks of her tours along with great images and personal updates.<\/p>\n<p>2) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Cynthia-Leitich-Smith\/47037004867\">Cynthia Leitich Smith<\/a>: Cynthia is an example of an author who provides incredible value for her followers. Her Facebook page is a mix of blog posts, events and things that any aspiring author would find valuable.<\/p>\n<p>3) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GretchenRubin\">Gretchen Rubin<\/a>: Gretchen really &#8220;gets&#8221; Facebook. She asks questions and engages with her followers with a mix of links and photos.<\/p>\n<p>4) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kamigarciaYA\">Kami Garcia<\/a>: Kami does a great job of mixing it up with advice, news, photos, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>5) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kristof\">Nicholas Kristof<\/a>: Nicholas Kristof is more of a journalist than a traditional author, but he sets the gold standard for a Facebook presence. It&#8217;s a terrific mix of commentary, interesting links, and glimpses into his travels.<\/p>\n<p><b>You can find out more about Nathan and his fabulous books for kids on his <a href=\"http:\/\/nathanbransford.com\/\">website<\/a> &#8211; and you should definitely say hello on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NathanBransford\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nathanbransford\">Facebook<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed this post, don&#8217;t miss <a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2013\/06\/social-media-for-writers-1-blogging.html\">Social Media for Writers #1: Blogging<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/2013\/07\/social-media-for-writers-2-twitter.html\">Social Media for Writers #2: Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are your thoughts on Facebook &#8211; love or loathe?<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love it or hate it, there&#8217;s no doubt that Facebook is an integral part of our lives these days &#8211; which is why writers can&#8217;t really afford to ignore it (much as we may wish to do so).
