Hi Penelope! You've written a really good commentary here. I'd like to add one point. You can use twitter to find out when your followers are most receptive, as well as a host of other useful info, if you use an app called http://www.socialbro.com/

Thanks, Al! I also want to mention "HootSuite". You can follow all your social media across several platforms---and post your tweets and other updates to automatically be sent out. Wonderful!

Lately, I've been curious about Google+ Hangouts, since I was invited recently to hang out with a well-known author for one hour as she answered questions.
She made herself available to her readers to answer any question they wanted to ask. I thought, "What a unique way to connect with your fans."
And it was.
I didn't actually attend the hangout session, but it was recorded, so I was able to download an MP4 of the entire session, as well as a PDF of the session.
How can you use this for your book promotions? Let me count the ways:
o Meet and greet - Say "hi" to your READERS
o Find out WHO they are
o Award PRIZES while you're live to create excitement!
o FOLLOW UP with each and every person who attended
o Invite them back again when you release a NEW BOOK
