- If someone is new to social media and wanted to create the most opportunity for a book release, what are the top things they should do?
- What other tips can I offer to have more success with affiliate marketing and social media?
The nerve-wracking thing about the online world is that there are SO MANY DISTRACTIONS. You know you need to be on Facebook so you go spend a lot of time on Facebook (maybe too much? wink).

I say, forget the noise and just write. People WILL care. You WILL help others. And the more you write, the more people will share your content and comment on it.
