YouTube,Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google +

Family/Friends,

Since becoming more active in the Social Media circle, I've been familiarizing myself the myriad of the venues available - it's actually quite mind boggling!

Just a couple of days ago, I created my own YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/MyWritingDen1) and was surprised at how easy it was and how much fun I had doing it. As for Twitter (https://twitter.com/mariathewriter), I've had the account nearly two years, but was not utilizing it.  Since December 2012 however, my followers have quadrupled and my Tweets have gone from 45 to 523 (quite a jump, ah?). Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Writing-Den/368907206455014) is my everyday exposure to fans and potential fans, I keep the page open all day long and post periodic updates.  LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/mariapiork) is trailing significantly in my list of priorities but since having to deliver a presentation to the Phoenix Writer's Club on the subject in June, I will need to learn it in depth. I hear Google+ is gaining popularity, so that's next on my 'to do' list.  As for all the other venues out there (Plur, StumbledUpon, etc.) I'll get around to them soon enough, got plenty on my plate for now.

So now, do me a favor...drop by sometime to any of my sites and leave me a note/commentary, always looking for feedback.

Until next folks...be well!
Maria

  1. If you have a secret that you don't want anyone to know, post it in Google+ . No one really uses it.

Back in Phoenix!

Finally back home and back to my daily routine. Time to get back to the business of writing and promoting. That said, please take the time to visit www.mywritingden.net for details on my first blogging contest of 2012 to start on 4/30 - there will be prizes. Also, be sure to stop by my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MyWritingDen1 from time to time to keep up with my latest escapades. That's all for now folks - take care and be well! PS: hope you guys like the new blogspot layout :-)

Calgon...take me away!

Family/Friends, I understand now why some companies/celebreties hire people to tend to their Social Media networking, it is very time consuming, not to mention mentally exhausting. Point in case, just today I spent over an hour on Blogger and YouTube working out some kinks with my profile/settings. My head's spinning and I'm pooped. On the topic of Social Media, I'd like to take a moment to thank my daughter, Pamela for acting as a consultant on the topic. Pamela works in the field and has actually helped launch my first AdWords campaign. Although it is progressing slowly, I have seen an increase in site ( www.mywritingden.net ) traffic and Twitter - 10 new followers in a week. I've also been receiving sporadic emails from 'fans' telling me how much they enjoy my stories...so this keeps me going. Ohhh, and a VERY notable mention to Linus Ly who gave me the idea to use a 'new' slogan Erotica, She Wrote . Liked it so much I'm already using it. T...

A Long Weekend Ahead :-)

Family/Friends: For many Americans this is the first big holiday since New Year's (not many people get Civil Rights or even President's Day off for that matter), so I hope you have fun plans and enjoy the time outdoors with  family and friends. A quick update about my writing, I have received feedback from three publishers and although all of it has been positive it will require me to revise 75% of my work (each story  is >6K words), needless to say the task at hand is somewhat dauting.  I have, however, taken a couple of days just to think about the best approach and plan on implementing some of my ideas this weekend.  To those of you who keep up with me (Twitter, FB, this blog, etc.) I truly appreciate it.  You keep my spirits up when the 'doubt bug' creeps in. Take care and 'til next time! Maria
