This is a very important distinction and something I haven’t seen among the different “writing advice” pieces I’ve seen. Thank you very much.

Reblogged this on Aspirations of Flight and commented: This is a FANTASTIC post for writers on what not to do, and more importantly, what you could be doing on social media so you don't annoy everyone on the planet. I think everyone needs to read this!

Very welcome post. I frequently receive newsletters in which someone is trying to sell me something, on occasion I can receive 3 emails from different web sites hawking the same product……just makes me want to reach for the unsubscribe button. I very rarely mention my work to my connections online, that’s not what I reach out to people for. 🙂

Hi and thanks for this information presented in style. New to the world of publishing, my efforts were delayed by a publishing contract that went unfulfilled. If Emerson were alive to add to ‘Self Reliance’. It would be a chapter on self-publishing. A former writer of clinical reports, the transition to fiction isn’t simple and all suggestions would be helpful as I enter a last round of informal editing to a thriller.

In reply to Mark Gelineau. It seems silly, but it really IS, LOL.

Great article, but the description of social media as the grown up replacement for “show and tell” is absolutely BRILLIANT.

Yes! I feel like there should be a word for the disappointment I feel when I look at a new Twitter follower’s profile, think their bio is cool, and then look down at a wall of book ads. I want to have fun interacting with interesting people, not subscribe to a commercial. I often get advertising overload in general. The internet makes it even easier to be constantly inundated with people trying to sell stuff. Sometimes, even the sight of yet another ad makes me want to scream. So I won’t follow accounts that do that type of stuff.

I’ve been followed, unfollowed, followed, unfollowed (keep repeating) by people who didn’t even realize they’d followed me before. I guess they use one of those auto-follow services to try to get their numbers up? It’s almost insulting. Actually, when I think about it, it *is* insulting. No one wants to feel like a number checked off by someone’s spambot.
