Today, I’ve asked my panel of published authors the question, “What is your most effective social media platform?”
“WordPress is most effective for people to read samples of your work and get a real idea of what you write, why you write, and how you write. Twitter is most effective for getting quick attention and saying, “Hi. I have a book. Would you please read it? Thanks!”
Decker Schutt
“Facebook, with WordPress as a close second.”
S.L. Stacy
“WordPress. FB would be my second choice.”
H.N. Sieverding
“Facebook because I cheat. When I post on Facebook it also posts on Twitter. I kill two birds with one stone.”
Tricia Andersen
“I’ve found Facebook, don’t over post there otherwise you will drive perspective readers away, and Twitter to be the best. Also doing radio interviews and blogs.”
Lindsay Downs
“(facebook, twitter, wordpress, etc) Facebook, for allowing communication with readers and friends of course, although WordPress is a great tool for allowing you to improve your writing craft and connect with other writers who in some cases also become wonderfully dear friends.”

Another in the Ask the Author series from my dear friend Heidi
This suggests I’m employing a viable strategy. I use Twitter and a FB writer page sparingly. I use WordPress to post flash fiction and respond to all comments in a way that facilitates productive relationships. I also host a separate inspirational blog. I just expect quicker results, something I can control only to a limited degree.
