I already have Twitter and Facebook accounts, but both have been seriously neglected. Maybe that's part of the reason my book sales have tanked recently.<br /><br />Thanks for all the great ideas.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-42346692792713672462014-10-22T20:46:43.866-07:002014-10-22T20:46:43.866-07:00Oh wow, thank you!!

Pinterest is one site I haven't gotten into yet, but I know I should probably invest some time to get started on it. Guest posts are my most popular posts on my blog, and I get a lot of response when I guest post on other blogs. Definite big yes to that one.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-69551171768134495162014-10-20T15:01:23.875-07:002014-10-20T15:01:23.875-07:00Thanks for stopping by!!

For me to learn to take photographs (I don't even have a good camera) then learn to edit them and then figure out what "Pinning" actually is would take years. I would have to give up writing altogether. Probably eating and sleeping as well. <br /><br />But for young people, especially people who are writing YA, I can see how it would be useful. Right now the very name terrifies me, since they hijacked me and signed me up without my consent. But I'm glad some people find it fun. Anne R.

Now have found ReadWave, sort of Pinterest for writing, etc. 3 minutes or less of reading is the expectation. Fits my mold so far and response has been good. We'll see if it translates to sales at all. The bundle and collaborate is something we all should be doing more of. If someones sells books and I'm around, too, than my chances of selling books increases. Nothing makes me happier than books being sold.
