Social Media for AUTHORS & Publishers

“...I used #Everythingbook to refer to my latest book release for “Everything: What You Give and What

You Gain To Become Like Jesus.”I gave a list of quotes to folks if they’d like

to share them, along with the hashtag. I also included the hashtag in the book

to make it easier for people who tweeted about it. Don’t be afraid to use funny

hashtags too, just for color. But don’t become a hashtag crazy person. You can turn off

readers if you constantly use them.”

– Mary DeMuth
