Social Networking to promote your works

eBiz MBA has ranked the top social networking sites. There is no doubt that self-publishing required disciplined self-promotion. So it pays to know where you can have the most impact. Facebook and YouTube are are the clear winners when it comes to delivering sheer numbers of users. But Twitter, especially now that with our supreme TOTUS has us wondering, "What next?"

"Now I lay me down to sleep 

wondering what the Trump will tweet."

But seriously, as opposed to most social media which depend on pull to intercept people who are already there, Twitter is a push medium that can distribute a message to the entire universe of users interested in a particular subject with a simple #. It's how the #resistance is growing. It's a very powerful medium so tweeting your message is very important. The following is today's report from eBiz MBA. Each of the sites has it's own appeal. Use them to your advantage. After all, they are free, except for your time. Use it wisely.
