As an indie author your book marketing approach should include some social media, and for some genres, it should include a lot of social media!
Pew Research Center’s report released at the end of 2016 shows us that:
- 28% of all U.S. adults use Instagram
- An estimated 59% of online adults ages 18 – 29 use Instagram
- 33% of 30 to 49-year-olds use Instagram
