Oh yes, April showers bring May flowers. Yesterday, our Carol Wyer told us how Facebook can come to play in book release parties online. If you missed that, you can read it here. Now that you’ve got a bunch of awesome ideas, let’s s have a Facebook fest!
This is how it works: If you are an author, publisher, publicist, literary agent, book reviewer, (or especially a book-lover), etc., in the comments below, paste in the link for your Facebook Page. Make sure you show some love to the links in the comments above yours, and check back throughout the day to catch up. (“Likes” from other PAGES do not count. Only “likes” from personal accounts register.)
[Don't forget, if you right-click the links, you can choose to have them open in a separate tab so you don't have to worry about navigating back and forth to pages.]
This should be fun and should generate a lot of likes, follows, etc. for everyone who plays. Make sure to share this post with your social networks so we can get lots of new folks! Let’s get the party started!
To those with concerns about the ethical implications of “liking” a book you have not read, we regard likes as more analogous to a “high five” than a rating or review. We do not support the idea of rating or reviewing a book you have never read.
PLEASE be sure to reciprocate by liking those who like you. This is give and take. If everyone plays by the golden rule, we all benefit.
