How Many Forum Members are on MySpace and Facebook?

Both of these services provide very nice venues for getting the word out about our books without appearing to be directly selling them.

Both Chelle and I, for example, have posted to our MySpace blogs about our own books as well as the anthology. People read, they comment, and sometimes they go out and place orders. :-)

The casual, more immediate nature of Facebook also makes it easy for each of us to talk to other anthology contributors (in public) about the face that our copy has just arrived or that we just finished reading each other's contributions. This gets the name of our anthology out to the public.

If you're on MySpace, you can find me at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If you're on Facebook, search for me under Malcolm R. Campbell

If we're on each other's friends lists in these places, it will help both our networking and information sharing, but spreading the names of our books, including FOREVER FRIENDS.

Just a thought.

I checked out your myspace. Very ! Much to explore. Have you had any security issues since signing up? That is always a great concern. I'll be interested in what everyone has to say.

Hi Malcolm,

I will be adding a blog on myspace and sending out messages on facebook, but not to advertise the anthology on lulu.com. I wouldn't want to be accused of trying to make a profit out of the anthology. Since that accusation has already been made, it is too late for anyone to say that I wouldn't be accused of it.

I added a book cover and link to the main page of the Published Authors Network but I removed it over a week ago. I won't be advertising the book on lulu, and from the contributors websites I have visited, neither will they!

Shelagh, if you would have simply answered the questions posed to you instead of ignoring them, you wouldn’t have been accused of anything. It was only when the questions were asked repeatedly and repeatedly ignored that more questions and doubts were raised. And the only thing I accused you of was taking all the credit and not giving any to the writers who contributed. But since the powers ‘out there’ have been tinkering with the MB and most of the offending posts have been removed, the animosity has died down. So give it a rest.

Brenda, I think you should read the acknowledgements page:

It's beautiful, Shelagh, and everyone should be proud. I was referring
to posts you made here, on the public forum. Let's call a truce, shall
we?

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the flowers Brenda!

Malcolm mentioned Chelle; she was thrilled with the book. You can read Chelle's MySpace blog here:

I once thought about having a site on MySpace but was afraid of being arrested as a dirty old man. I admit to being a dirty old guy but dislike being called an old man. I'm sure that distinction would give the head doctors food for thought, but that's the way it is.

And mine

Hi Susan,

No security problems on either MySpace or Facebook!

Malcolm

I try to do it all! I have not had a lot of problems with MSpace, although it took some tweaking to my settings in order to get it all set up properly.

Facebook I use a lot more

should get you there if you like.

Once I move at the end of the month and do some serious re-tooling to my business and brand, you'll see the book and everything else prominently featured.

I added a post this evening on my "Malcolm's Round Table" blog about the anthology. It's called "Mr. Henry's Farm" and you can see it here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Facebook's add-a-link makes it real easy to direct friends out to my blogs.

I want to add the anthology to all my websites and blogs. I have been very ill the past 2 weeks and have not had the opportunity. When I do I will post info to that affect somewhere here on the boards.

Facebook - I am there as Sue Durkin with my pic. I never can find the url for it. If someone can find it, please email it to me. Thank you.

Hi Sue,

Hope you are feeling better now and good luck with the workbook!

This is the link to your facebook profile:

Thank you so much for the link, Shelagh. I have copy and pasted it into several different places so that I have it.

I am feeling better. Just not up to par yet, but that will come soon. I just have to rest more and not do as much as I had been doing. I get too tired too quickly.

Thank you again!

Glad you're feeling better, Sue. Nice to see you back.

Gute Besserung. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

That was a great post Malcolm! I left a comment.

Thanks for the welcome back and speedy recovery comments. I still won't be on as much as I was. But I will be here. *grin*

Malcolm, I read your blog. It was lovely! Thank you for letting us know about it and giving us the opportunity to read it.

Thanks for stopping by my Round Table blog, Shelagh. Nice comment, too!

Malcolm

I'm still trying to figure the danged sites out!!

Thanks, Sue.

It won't take long, Zada, to get the hang of things at FB.
