Social Media as a Ministry with Edie Melson

What did you think of this episode?

Social Media is not a place to market your wares. It is a place of ministry to your readers. As you invite them to get to know you, they discover you care and therefore will care about you.

My industry expert is Edie Melson, whose core message is Find your voice, live your story…. Her blog, The Write Conversation reaches thousands and has consistently been named a Writer’s Digest Top 100 Sites for Writers. As the author of numerous award-winning books, she’s quick to remind those she meets about the practical and personal applications of God’s infinite love. 

 In today’s episode, Linda and Edie discuss the true purpose of social media and how most writers fail at it. They also cover strategies concerning the number of social media platforms we should commit to investing in and why.  

 The six Social Media sites Edie recommends: Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Linkedin
