W4WS will give authors opportunities to reach audiences through other people's Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, LinkedIn, etc "Friends".
HOW W4WS WORKS
Each month we will spotlight one, two or three new authors.
To start W4WS off, on December 6th our spotlighted author for the month of December will be Nancy Thompson, marketing her book 'The Mistaken'
What we are asking our linked participants to do is to simply promote the spotlighted author/s book using their Twitter followers or/and Facebook friends, potentially reaching large new audiences the author would not reach on their own.
HOW WILL IT OPERATE?
On Decmber 6th, Nancy Thompson (our first spotlighted author) will post an image of her book, 'The Mistaken' with a short blurb and a link to Kindle on her blog.
The author/s (Nancy's) blog will be linked to the
W4WS Facebook page.
Nancy (the spotlighted author for the month) will then choose a social media avenue such as Twitter or Facebook (or both) to promote her book using W4WS Facebook page
TWITTER HASHTAG: #W4WS
The author/s (Nancy) will also have pre-written
TWEETS posted on her blog.
EXAMPLES OF PRE-WRITTEN TWEETS

Vampires, Love, Heartache, Revenge and Loss - He Came For Mine, http://www.amazon.com/Came-Mine-Protector-Series-ebook/dp/B009IG3YLY #ebook #Please RT!
~Notice the use of hashtags and the Please RT! within the short blurb to reach additional audiences.
Now imagine a hundred bloggers over a few days tweeting and sharing links for (the spotlight author/s) Nancy's book potentially reaching tens of thousands of new readers.

You selected an excellent author to be first! I'm not on Facebook, but I can Tweet on Thursdays.
This is a great idea! :)
I'm signed up and ready to go!
Yay! I'm so excited for this group. I think it's so simple to do. Have a great weekend!
Very excited to see this grow. Look forward to showing some support.
Just signed up, great idea you guys. As I mentioned in Stephen's comment box, I was wondering if I could copy and paste your W4WS image into my blog sidebar as a visual reminder for the dec 6 date. I'll even link it back to one of these posts if you guys are ok with that.
A brilliant concept. I'll definitely help in any way that I can!
