Reblogged this on Writer's Treasure Chest and commented: Kristen Lamb informs us about the difference of a personal and author fan page on FB and publishes this excellent post about FB helping us writers selling books. Have a look!

In reply to Zachariah Wahrer. No. It fractures your focus and you can use that timer better ;) .

Do you find that creating FB pages for individual books is helpful as well? I’ve read that in several different places (so I created them), but I’m sure if it’s really that useful or not.

In reply to margaretpinard. Again, go look at authors who are doing the fan page well and see what they are doing. Often it is a mix of their book stuff with some personal fun with memes or articles other people want to share.

This is a good reminder, but I am often at a loss at what exactly people want from me on the FB platform. Torn between trying to get interaction on my personal page, and posting book-related stuff on the fan page (I didn’t wait to get to 1,000 fans–oops)…I think that I am keeping it pretty consistent and on-topic, but … minimal interaction! I may need to pay a few dimes to FB to get the ball rolling, maybe…?

Yep, I set up a fan page early on, and regretted it. But fb drives a lot of traffic to my blog, it’s my top referrer after search engines, so I’ll always maintain a presence there. I actually Don’t like it for personal use, I’m not interested in seeing what someone ate for lunch or all their show-off holiday pics, or dozens of pics of their superior over achieving children. But for keeping in touch with other writers, and hopefully, readers too, its a lot of fun! ?

In reply to frontierwriter. Just follow me on FB. I find the funniest stuff. It really is just a scan, that's fun…post. And also we generally have to do a lot of reading and researching for our fiction. Post some of that. Relax and don't overcomplicate it.
