“Like” Me! (An Unsung Author’s Rise from Obscurity)
Run the extra mile
So they “like” me on Facebook, do they “like” me?
I don't have to try so hard
I don't have to bend until I break
(My own exploitation of the lyrics to “Try,” Colbie Caillat’s lead single from the album, ‘Gypsy Heart,’ released in 2014).
As Facebook “likes” are important to raise author visibility by gaining exposure, cultivating relationships, and increasing the means to communicate with a targeted audience, I’ve been running the extra mile to get them. Ever since I created my Facebook Author Page about a month ago, I’ve gone from 0 to 93 likes. The brass ring of attaining 100 “likes,” feasibly within reach, encourages me to try even harder.
How did I get from 0 – 93 on the Facebook tachometer? Every which way but loose!
Sprinting along the yellow brick road on Goodreads pertaining to Facebook “like” threads posted in my groups.
Participating in Facebook’s “Share the Love” program at World Literary Café where I’m No. 2127 on a list of 2133. Thus far I’ve climbed the love ladder to rung no. 1529. And, no—for all the love I spread around on a daily basis, the “likes” aren’t easily forthcoming. But, I’m very grateful for those who’ve reciprocated.
A shout-out to my Facebook groups: Marketing for Creatives and Scribes & Bibliophiles for the comradery and supportive exchange. My thanks to the hearts and minds I’ve won at the BookAholic Café for stopping by to “like” my page.
Last, but not least by any means: Authors Den. While I’ve no idea if any, many, some, a few, or even one silent benefactor has “liked” my Facebook Author page, I’ve asked. However, most endearing to me are the members who take the time to read my posts on any given day, and leave encouraging comments. In particular, recent posts pertaining to my upcoming Women’s Fiction novel, ‘An Enlightening Quiche’: Book Promo Trailer, Prologue, and Pre-Pub Book Review.
Although I may try hard to the point of bending until I break, I want everyone to know that while one of my ambitions is accruing Facebook “likes” to increase my reach—I don’t view each “like” as a number, especially if you “engage my page” by leaving a comment. In my eyes, you’ve then elevated your status from an invited guest to a valued friend.
If you’re so inclined, stop by and “like” me. Within the comfort of your own home, grab a chair, sip a cup of coffee, and enjoy a slice of quiche while you check out the top post which will acquaint you with a novel baked-to-perfection, and soon rising to the occasion for reader consumption.
