Dustin Great advice, thank you. But what if an individual is basically (with the exception of a few loyal people,) ignored on social media? I write and post reviews regularly-here and on my personal blog-- and I'm pretty much ignored, Do you have any advice?

C.L. Cannon Thanks, Dustin. Have you done any networking on social media? One way to reach readers is to provide value. Take an interest in the work of others and lend a helping hand. When you make a personal impression on someone, they are more likely to remember you and spread the word about you to others.

Dustin You're welcome! Yeah, I sometimes blog about new releases, and share via Facebook e-book sales, things like that. Most of the time, they're unwilling to give a simple LIKE. At least then, I'd know that I'm appreciated, and acknowledged, you know? I'm not saying everyone does this, but some of them do, and I can't help but think it's personal, that I did something in the past which made them indifferent towards me, even though my heart's in the right place. I love to help spread the word, I'm selfless. I want them to success in this highly competitive business. I just don't get some people..
