   Using Facebook to promote your SF

   Facebook is by far the best promotional tool in my toolbox and it could be in   
   yours!   
      
   Look up to the top of your Facebook home page.  You’ll see a search box not   
   unlike Google’s.   
      
   Now think of your latest SF story.  In the search box enter some keyword that   
   describes a major feature of your story.   
      
   Some obvious ones I’ve used are spaceship, aliens, Mars, and the like.   
      
   You’ll find some groups have thousands of followers!!!!! <<<<<<   
      
   You might have to join said groups, but many allow posting from the public.    
   You can also post your promotion as some comment in another person/company’s   
   post.   
      
   Here’s my most outrageous example.  While promoting my story “Buck’s   
   Brainstorm”   I had the following good luck.  The story involves particle   
   accelerators that use one of Einstein’s theories.     
      
   So JUST ON A WHIM I entered in the Facebook search box the words “Albert   
   Einstein.”  THERE WERE OVER FOUR MILLION!!!!! PEOPLE WORLDWIDE IN THAT   
   GROUP!!!   
      
   You can do this sort of thing.  TRY IT OUT.   
      
   Good luck, and NAMASTE
