130+ of the Best Hashtags for Authors on Instagram
Authors need to know more than what kind of content to share on Instagram.|
When used correctly, hashtags can help authors connect with new readers and grow a massive audience on Instagram. Hashtags are how people find posts about specific topics they are interested in. That makes hashtags a fantastic way for you to connect with readers you might not have discovered otherwise.
More often than not, when I see authors struggling with Instagram, they are not using hashtags correctly – or at all.
Use Hashtags to Connect Directly With New Readers

Cheap MP3 players and audiobooks could be a good promotional tool #h2e
The new Guardians of the Galaxy movie is opening soon, and I’m looking forward to it.|
And the merchandising people are, too. As big a deal was made out of the first movie’s feel-good seventies-and-eighties-music mixtape/soundtrack, it’s not at all surprising that the soundtrack for the second movie was also a big thing well before the next movie hit the theater. But it is a little surprising, not to mention amusing, how cheap disposable MP3 player technology is suddenly playing into this.There’s nothing mysterious or magical about MP3 players. In fact, thanks to dedicated systems on a chip built just for that purpose, they’re probably one of the cheapest gadgets it’s possible to make these days. And that might be what possessed Doritos to put one in a bag of corn chips. (So, the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack really is “all that and a bag of chips”!)
That’s right, for just $30 you too could have a bag of chips you could crunch through while listening to songs by Fleetwood Mac, Cheap Trick, and Sam Cooke on a cheap circuit board MP3 player with a rechargeable cell phone battery, 256 MB SD card, and USB plug. (Well, you could have it for about a day until they sold out, anyway. Given that it was effectively a collector’s edition publicity stunt, don’t expect them to be in stock ever again. But they’re going for big bucks on eBay!)
Something a bit less disposable is this cheap plastic replica of a Walkman which also has an MP3 player built in. Apparently it only has room for one song, though. Which makes its $25 cost most places…not all that cheap, really. You’d be better off getting one of these 19 cent mp3 players, a $3.25 256 MB SD card, and the $9.38 soundtrack CD from Amazon (which comes with instantly downloadable MP3s for free), even when you throw in $6 or so of shipping costs for the cheaper items.

How to Get a Wealth of Social Media Content. #how2ebook
Where do you get your content for your social media? Is it all your own material or does it come from others?
People in publishing are looking for writers with excellent content. I’ve been on twittersince 2008 and tweeted over 35,000 times. My following has grown from zero (no followers) to over 200,000. How in the world do I determine what to have on my social media feeds and why do I never run out of new content?

Selling Books Through StoryBundle
Back in October 2016 I came across a Facebook post from a UK writer by the name of Simon Kewin. Now, I had heard a bit about StoryBundle, but not a whole lot – but I have an adventurous marketing spirit – (which is another way of saying that I am too stupid to be scared) – and I decided to jump in.
What was I jumping into?
Well, for starters, Simon was putting together a StoryBundle of witch tales and he was looking for novels.
That’s right, Simon was on a witch hunt.
“Well heck,” I said. “I’ve got a novel named TATTERDEMON that has both a witch and a voodoo queen and an entire field of haunted scarecrows. It’s available widely – through Kindle, Nook, Kobo and a bunch of others. I’d love to take part.”
You can tell you’re reading a Steve Vernon blog entry because there…
