Has social media helped your book's sales?

How? No, really. How? Inquiring minds want to know.

Without social media, I'd still be a college professor.

Of course, as a college professor I studied social media so I had a bit of a leg up when it came time to actually - you know - use it.

To be clear...I studied social media as a phd candidate. It was part of my doctoral dissertation. So it helped me become a college professor too. 

And I'm using the term "professor" loosely .. as in "somebody who teaches college" and not the "rank attained by surviving tenure for the requisite number of years." My highest faculty rank was "adjunct" which falls somewhere above "teaching assistant" and somewhere below "human being." 

That reality probably had some bearing on my decision to become a full time writer rather than pursue a career in academe.

Just to be clear.

if it wasn't for social media, i probably would have sold 5-10% of the number of books i've actually sold. the majority of my sales have been because of my interactions through Google+

I would really hate to have to depend on a publisher for any help.  I know the NY BS List is run by McGraw-Hill. lol

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
