Social media is not the easiest place to grow your author platform. But it can help get people to your website and on your email list. It’s not going to be the place where you sell your books.

In this chapter, we will review platforms, understanding the audience on those platforms, creating content to the specific platforms, and learning to grow your total platform with social media.

The best advice I can give you on this is to start with one social medial platform to grow, once you hit 1,000 followers, then you can move onto the next one. Then rinse and repeat.
