Discover How You Can Help Your Favorite Authors Get Discovered


Hey everyone! And happy Columbus Day! I figured since today was in celebration of discovery, I’d help you all discover a few ways you can help your favorite writers be…discovered. J
There are so many easy ways to do this and most of them take five minutes or less. One way you all support me is by coming here on a regular basis and reading my blogs and zipping around my website to find out what’s going on. Did you know you can actually follow my blog? Aside from having it bookmarked, you can follow me either through Google or through Networked Blogs. How? What are those? Well, it’s pretty easy. You’ll see in the right hand sidebar two icons that show tracking of followers. If you have a Google account of any sort you can click follow this blog and your name will be added to my followers list. If you have a Facebook account, you can join me through Networked Blogs which is a Facebook app. If you click join through Networked Blogs it’ll let you join the app, then you can go there daily to see what my posts are about and vote them up so they gain more exposure. J Super simple and quick and so appreciated. Oh and if you come by and read something you find interesting, share it with the world! At the end of each post there is a line of icons giving you the option to share the post via Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. You simply click and share, takes all of two seconds and really helps me get out there and reach more people. J
Do you Tweet? I do. J There’s another icon in the right hand side bar you’ll find the link to my Twitter handle where you can go follow me. I tweet daily and I have my Facebook Author page connected so each time I update my Facebook, if you’re following my tweets, you’ll know. And if you follow me on Twitter, retweeting helps me be seen. RT’s are greatly appreciated.
Reviews…do we as writers love them or hate them? For me I am most grateful for them be they good, bad, or otherwise. And, reader reviews at Amazon help  my work be seen more often. So, please, if you’ve purchased any of my work and have an Amazon account—you don’t have to have proof you purchased it there, a short, honest assessment would be most appreciated. It takes but a few moments and it helps me determine how to make my work better meet your expectations because I then know what you liked and what you didn’t. J
Facebook. I know, I recently closed my profile, but I’m still there. I just converted to a fan page. I’d be so grateful if you liked my page, and not just liked it, but if you were an active participant there that would be wonderful. I like reader and fan feedback and there is where you can leave me messages, ask me questions, and get regular updates on my work and where I’m out blog touring, etc. You can find me here:  http://www.facebook.com/LilaMunroAuthor
And speaking of Facebook, if I have a link to a book you’ve purchased and liked, please feel free to recommend it to your friends and share my links. I’d love it if you did. J
These are just a few of the ways you can help me be discovered…and you can help other authors in all of these ways as well.
You’re all the best fans in the world and if I’ve not said thank you lately…Thank you! Have a great holiday and see you back here soon…
Lila
