I read in my big-city newspaper where researchers from the University of Georgia (Shout out to PR guy, Anonymous!) concluded that folks who go overboard with the social networking might be a tad narcissistic. Frankly, I’m shocked. I mean, can’t a person talk about themselves ad infinitum without being super self-absorbed?
I, for one, can’t wait to see what my buddy, Bill, has to say on his podcast and BillTV. And now he has a vlog! So, if you’d like to see a very funny guy talk about well, himself, then head over to BillTV right now.
Now, I know you’re wondering what the heck does Bill’s vlog have to do with writing? As it happens, one man’s narcissism is another man’s (or woman’s) promotion. So, you could learn a thing or two about promoting your work by watching Bill’s vlog and other YouTube videos. Plenty of authors are taking it to that 4 x 4 inch screen, making videos about their books, and driving up sales.
Betcha didn’t think of that, did you? Lucky me. I know exactly who I’ll call for a few tips when I produce the Cathy C. Hall of Fame vlog.
Cathy! Thanks! You’re the best. A special “shout out” to you on the next installment.
This is why UGA researchers get paid the big bucks.I think the next study will show that PR flacks are full of hot air.
You are quite welcome, Bill! And I’ll be watching for that shout-out. And, hey, Anonymous, why must you disparage “hot air”?
