BookBub is a "free service that helps you discover books you'll love through unbeatable deals, handpicked recommendations, and updates from your favorite authors." Lots of writers (including me!) list their books on Bookbub and post reading recommendations. Following an author also provides notifications about ebook sales.

This month's question:
Do you follow back your readers on BookBub
or do you only follow back other authors?
or do you only follow back other authors?
You can find me on BookBub where I recommend middle grade and young adult novels, productivity nonfiction, and other books I find interesting. (Writing this blog post reminded me that it had been awhile since I was active there! I rectified that. 😊)
I don’t follow many people on BookBub. At one point I did a giveaway where following me on BookBub was an entry for the contest, and the resulting increase in followers was wonderful, but overwhelming in turns of following back. I basically gave up by default, and I mostly use the site to learn about ebook sales anyway.
It can be challenging to keep up with various platforms. My latest focus is getting started on BlueSky, a Twitter-alternative. You can find me there at YvonneVentresca.
Growth is controlled by an invite-code system. If you think you'd be active (there's a growing author community), I have a few extra codes. Email me, and I'll send them out on a first-come basis.
But first, consider whether you want another social media presence, what purpose it might serve, and how it fits into your life time-wise. If it feels like another thing to learn and manage, it's okay to pass. But if a fresh start is appealing, let me know.
