on Facebook. I didn't realize this, but I should have. Facebook can give you exposure to your blog. People read about it on your facebook page, then go to the blog. I think it was last night I read this. That is a very cool thing to get people to discover your blog. Ain't facebook nice? Did you know this about facebook?

I've been using it on and off over the years for my online writing, not as much now as I used to. Twitter is a good platform too. I get better results from Twitter I think.

@wetnosedogs Thinking about what I wrote, I probably get better results there because that's where I'm more active!

@wetnosedogs I don't do it now because in the past there have been things I have posted (on other sites) that I didn't want them to know

I have pondered making a second FB account so I can link one to things, we shall see.

I know lots of folks who use their Facebook as a marketing tool. I really do not too much. I mean, i sometimes will share something i write if i feel like sharing it, but i also don't want to inundate my friends with too many things.

Yes, Facebook is a great promotion tool! I only use Facebook for monetizing my life, these days. An occasional hello and happy birthday to folks, but I am hardly on there, and I do have my posts scheduled most of the time.

@Pattitude . Nothing wrong with a shameless plug.

@wetnosedogs I use it to promote my eBook about Stevia, which can be found on Amazon! (shameless plug)

I don't do Facebook anymore, I did before when I was writing on Squidoo and it did bring me some traffic.

I am not the greatest in explaining. I just read about it. Write on facebook what you have been up to on your post and if people are interested, they will go look. Hope that helps.

I always put my posts from the internet on FB to get more page views. Been doing it since 2005 at Gather.com ( no longer on line)

I use FB but don't have a blog, so was not aware of that.

With wordpress on your own domain, you can have your blog automatically syndicated to Linkin, G+, Twitter & Facebook - and possibly to Pinterest as well, but not 100% sure on that last one.

I have an author's page on Facebook and I do post links to my blog there ... as well as links to my books and other articles I have written. I do get traffic from it.
