If you were at the August meeting of NCPA (Northern California Publishers Association), you heard me talk about why social media is so important to authors, and why you have to have your toe in the pool even if you don’t feel like diving into the deep end. Social media is here to stay, so you gotta figure it out. An author without a platform is doing themselves, and their readers, a disservice. But why listen to me when you can look at a bevy of social media stats from experts?

There was a lot to digest in the presentation, so I decided to make the presentation available for download. Then I figured, since NCPA opens their weekly meetings for anyone to attend, not just members, why not share with everybody? Here it is…all I ask is you do not re-use this information as your own, for your own profit, AND without proper attribution and/or permission from me. Just ask–I’m bound to say yes!

Did you learn anything new? Disagree with any stats? Leave a comment and we can talk about it. The landscape is always changing.
