Those of you who have supported me for a long time know how fed up I have been getting with Facebook lately. Their algorithms that decide who can and can't see my posts does my head in. Recently one of my most ardent supporters (yes, Kathy Johnson, I'm talking about you!) ran a competition that saw my "Likes" increase from the 438 they'd been stuck on for months to 538.
However, as a result, the number of people who saw my posts dropped from around 120 to 50-60. The more Likes you have on Facebook, the less people who want to read your posts actually get to see them.
Sooooo ... I'm starting this blog, I've joined Pinterest, I'm already on Twitter and YouTube, and I'll also set up an Instagram account - once I buy a decent smartphone. *NOTE TO SELF: no more cheap Chinese knock-offs. The battery life once on-line is about 3 minutes*.
Oooooo - look at me embracing Social Media like a teenager. Which is good, as that's the market I write for. Well, that, and those of us adults who only get our books from the YA section at the library :) So ... onwards with posts that everyone who wants to read can actually read.
