You'll often hear me say that social media is a waste of time. I should probably clarify that. 've looked at thousands of sites & the majority of their traffic comes from search engines not their social. There are a few very talented people who are able to draw followers but in my experience they are not people trying to sell books. They may write a book later but not first.
