Social Media: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?

  • WHAT can social media do for you?
  • WHERE do you need to participate?
  • WHEN do you post?
  • WHY do you need to be on social media?
  • HOW do you do it?

Steps to getting the most out of this workshop:

  1. Bring your general and specific questions.
  2. Know and be able to describe your ideal reader/book buyer.
  3. Write a 50-word bio for your social media platforms.
  4. For actual posting and/or setting up a site, bring your computer AND any passwords you have already designated.

Tips for getting the most out of social media whether or not you can make the workshop:

  1. Find well-known writers in your genre: (a) study their social media sites and (b) build relationships by following them and sharing their content.
  2. Decide what social media site(s) you believe will be FUN for you to participate on.
  3. Research which social media platforms are most popular with your target reader.
  4. Plan posting and sharing with consistency: (a) 1-3 times a day or (b) 1-5 times a week, etc.
  5. Keep to your schedule by posting content and building relationships.

Welcome to BAIPA

With COVID-19 teaching us all how to function remotely, BAIPA will meet via ZOOM ONLY until it is safe to resume in-person meetings. (Even when we decide to resume in-person events, we will continue the Zoom option.) We are implementing all the recommended precautionary measures to keep our meetings private and safe for all participants. All members and visitors who register in advance will receive a link to attend via Zoom video conferencing. On the Friday evening before the meeting, we will send the link and password out to members and to non-members … More

Current BAIPA members do not need to register for our monthly meetings. The night before the meetings, they will receive the Zoom info. However, members must log in to get a discounted ticket for workshops.
