Social Media Marketing Must Be Sustainable
http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2015/social-media-marketing-must-be-sustainable/

In How to Market a Book, Joanna Penn writes, “The first job of an author is, of course, to write great books, but these days, their second job is to market them.” Penn goes on to address the misunderstanding many authors have about marketing:

I know the very word can be off-putting, but marketing is not about shrieking, “buy my book, buy my book” crazily on social media. It’s not about scams, unethical practices or treating people badly. Marketing is about sharing what you love with people who truly value hearing about it.

The truth is, if you have an aversion to social media, it probably stems from an aversion to marketing in general. And who could blame you? Social media platforms change faster than Kim Kardashian changes shoes.
