On November 8th, we had Julie Keck and Jessica King @kingisafink on the chat to discuss how screenwriters and filmmakers can effectively use social media to advance their careers, fund their indie film projects and build a solid network. For more tips from Julie and Jessica, get their great book, Social Media Charm School: A Guide for Filmmakers & Screenwriters (THE FINK SCHOOL FOR HUMANS SERIES Book 1).

Another tip. You can use social media to promote yourself

right now it goes FB, twitter, adn then IG for amount used. #scriptchat
Sarah A Newman @SarahAlexis4
@kingisafink Q: How do you suggest getting more specific
about potential audience for social media? Things to consider? #scriptchat

Mike Morucci @GCGeek
@zacsanford2 I used to post activities on foursquare but it
soon felt irrelevant #scriptchat
The Finks @kingisafink
@AB2screenwriter You're a bit part of that! #ScriptChat

Instead, insinuate yourself into the convos of others,
introduce yourself, ask questions, give compliments, be curious. #ScriptChat
Anthony D Paul @writeranthonydp
#scriptchat Definitely need to follow more photographers.
like janice would say...for sureee

@kingisafink My colleagues in Europe and Asia say WHATSAPP
is essential... more so than FB or TW #scriptchat
The Finks @kingisafink
Overlooked areas for filmmakers on social media? We're big
Twitter fans, but we're really digging Instagram lately. Visual. #ScriptChat

@Al_1701 On the acting side it is becoming more and more
crucial to have a social media following, but now it is trickling down.

MT @SarahAlexis4: Q: What do u find are overlooked areas in
which social media can be helpful to writers/filmmakers? #scriptchat
Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@zacsanford2 @Al_1701 Zac and I know how to eat a burger
with one hand and fan flies away with the other. #scriptchat
David A. Youngquist @Al_1701
@zacsanford2 @Al_1701 Don't you need them to get noticed
anymore? Especially if looking for a specific hire? #scriptchat
The Finks @kingisafink
@Al_1701 You're doing well so far. :) #ScriptChat
Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@scriptchat @kingisafink @zacsanford I put the C into Charm.
