I'm back
again with day nine of the month long Buccaneer
Blogfest hosted by Sharon
Bayliss and Courtney
Young.
Final
Countdown (July 30 – August 3)
This week is the Final
Countdown (is
anyone else now humming the Europe
song?). The end of the
blogfest, where we talk about our experiences, host a give away and
share our thoughts on Social Media.
July
30 - Social Media: Share your
feelings and opinions about social media and it's relation to writing
and reading.
I
love social media, I think it's an excellent way for people of
similar interests to connect. For a writer, it's an excellent way of
building a support network, exchanging experiences and sharing
advice.
I've
made so many friends through blogging, and then connected with them
on Facebook, Twitter and other sites like Goodreads. These platforms
help you get a better understanding of what your online friends are
like as people, while also informing you about their work and what
they're currently up to.
Social
media is also a great marketing tool, and I've seen so many authors
doing blog tours, or hosting giveaway for when they get X amount of
followers/ likes.
There's
also the fun aspect of social media, with sites like Pinterest and
Polyvore. I've seen so many inspiration things on both those sites.
It's a great way to get motivated by looking at your friends pins
and seeing what inspires them.
