Getting Social

I hate to sound like a broken record, but here it is...it is very hard to promote your product these days without social media. As I have become more acclimated with social media I am learning new ways to engage with others. Even by watching how other businesses utilize social media to engage clients, fans, and followers with discussions and giveaways has really inspired me to take my social media ventures to another level.

Although I had already created a Facebook page for my publishing company (Upon A Star Books Inc.) back in January, today I have created a new Facebook page:

Here I will have updates about events I'm attending, and every Wednesday I will host an active discussion on my page (starting next week)!

Beyond getting social via the internet, I have also been getting social at various events. I have chosen events that allow me to network with others, but also sell my children's book, What If the World Had No Colour? This has turned out to be very successful for me, both in selling my books and meeting new contacts such as Dwania, founder of Canadian Small Business Women. What has also been gratifying at those events, was that I was able to donate proceeds from those sales to important causes such as JCA's Saturday Tutoring Program. 

I am also excited about the trailer I am working on. Yes, you heard read correctly. I am working on a trailer, a book trailer, so that you can get a preview of what my book is about. That will be up before the end of this month!

In the meantime I am continuing to brainstorm and connect with others, finding ways to make my book a success!
