Try these fun suggestions as you begin using social media to connect with others.

• Quotes, find a quote that resonates with you, and it will ring true to people that follow you. A fun technique I like is to use Canva  https://www.canva.com/ to put together an image with the quote. Hey, people are visual, and a picture will make you stand out. Canva, even its free version, is just amazing and easy to use.
• Share books in your genre you have read or are reading now. Tell people what you love about the book. Sharing this will give your audience a resource they didn’t have before and point them toward a great book. They’ll appreciate it. This will also provide exposure to another author in your genre and a way to boost your networking.
• Share your follower’s content that supports your vision for your site. Not only do you share this with the rest of your audience, but people like it when you share something they created. This helps build relationships on your social media among your audience.
• When someone shares your content or does something great for you, thank them. This goes a long way toward building connections and working relationships. It personalizes your social media. People will see that there’s another person out there. Not an unknowable entity.
• Share the excitement of a conference or book fair you’ll be attending. This is an excellent opportunity to take photos and share them on your social media.
• Share the playlist you use while writing your current work. Describe the mood the music elicits in you. Give your audience the song helps you get inside a character’s head.
• Share the good news that happens to you or someone in your network.
• Share what interests you. The audiences you attract probably have the same fascination with the things you like as well. Again, this is a good way to personalize your social media presence.
• On occasion, share a picture of your pet. Many people are fascinated with cats and dogs, so why not give them a peek at you, four-legged friend. You’ll be surprised at how responsive folks are when pet pictures are posted. It’s a very human trait, and we can’t help ourselves.
• Curate content that fits your vision for the audience you want to attract. An easy way to find content is to use Google News. Type in a topic you’re interested in and get the latest news about it.
