When targeting other people you should make sure they have the same interests, so you will then have a higher take up rate.

I think that you have some good pointers in your video. People don’t like being targeted, and you’re either a wannabe writer or a want to be writer. It could never be the same between the two people.

Absolutely awesome, Kristen! I totally agree. I really hate getting regular “buy my book!!” tweets and messages. I can almost imagine them looking at me through a scope and their cross hairs on my forehead. It. Is. Creepy. It becomes clear targeters only see others as potential book buyers, not other people. Thanks for teaching good manners.

I love your vlogs…so cute!
Now this has nothing to do with writing, but I suppose I’ll vent anyway.
I feel targeted by TV networks. Does that count?
I’m a big TV watcher. I get alot of book ideas, plotting ideas, character ideas from the old boob tube, plus, I’m a history and science addict. So I have the DVR set recording two educational shows while I’m busy watching Supernatural or Castle.
What I don’t like is the ever larger station identification that sits in various corners of my flat screen, burning holes in the pixels. I understand they have to remind the viewer what station they’re tuned to. I get it. It’s a business. But jeesh, do they have to keep it up during the whole of every show? Must they also flash a long banner across the bottom of the entire screen about upcoming shows during a show I’m watching and then at the next commercial break advertise the exact show they just obscurred my show with…does that sentence even make sense?
It makes me crazy.
Alot like targeting in Social Media. It’s obnoxious.
I’m with ya, Kristen. Targeting sucks.
By the way, I enjoyed your video on Facebook. Let him do the dishes, you got the gun

Have a nice evening,
Tamara

Oooh I love this idea! I have just recently started writing a memoir but have decided to blog it (to keep me motivated). Does the prize apply to a blog ie first few posts? Your “unvarnished truth” would be so helpful to me!
