As you can tell from my photos I wear glasses. Getting glasses can be a real struggle. So, not only do I want to tell you about the glasses and how to procure a pair of these super amazing glasses yourself; I want to tell you how this taught me some things about social media and marketing.

This was Orcut, originally put out there by Google after Friendster wouldn’t sell to them, (probably should have — oh well, hindsight and all). It emerged about a year before Facebook. Looks kinda similar, doesn’t it? It had an interesting run and actually took off and had 1.5 million communities within a year.

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket?”

To understand what this app is doing that we should do if we want to better utilize social media to reach fans and others; we must first look at what they’re doing.

But… I just want to write. One of the most difficult things about being an an indie author is the marketing. We must spend time to get the word out about these magnificent works of ours, and to do so takes time. But who has time for that when our characters are in peril, and fans await the next book?
