Are You Charitable? It Could Pay Off For You

Many authors and publishers are linked to charities and causes because they help make a difference – and get positive branding exposure from it.  So what do you need to do? Post on your books web site, your email signature, on the book back cover, and in your social media messages how you are supporting a non-profit.  Encourage others to give as well – you can build awareness, donate proceeds, sponsor charity events, or even give books away to a group that can sell them as a fundraiser.

Twitter Turned 7 In March

The social media site is now over seven years old.  But there are people whose profiles show they have sent out over 50,000 tweets.  If these people were logged on since Day One and sent around 7,500 tweets a year – or about 20 per day for over 2,500 straight days, they’d hit over 50,000 tweets.  I wonder what the record is for most tweets sent by a person overall, or in a day by an individual.  To see more about Twitter, check out:
