To be a successful author, it's critical to be a self-marketer as well as an excellent writer. Literary agent Laurie McLean provides tips on balancing writing and marketing, and she offers advice on leveraging social media as a key marketing tool. If you're just getting started marketing your book, learn how to use social media. If you can write a book, you can write a blog or tweet. Get over the fear of the unknown, and jump in and try it. Blogs are almost a must for authors—they are beneficial to your book marketing campaign as well as your writing skills. Other social media to consider are YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Try to write and market every day. Be cognizant of your time management because social media can take more time than you realize. Set a schedule so that you can stay on track. </div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-58/ATELaurieMcLeanBalancingWritingandMarketing.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ATELaurieMcLeanBalancingWritingandMarketing.mp4</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
