How Early is Too Early?

I’ve taken a few steps toward the eventual marketing of the book(s), such as this blog, and setting up facebook and twitter, and like, writing the book(s). (The (s) means I’ll probably have to split it into 2-3 books in the end, since it’s 170,000 words so far).

I’m wondering whether I should set up a “product” page on Facebook, for example, or get started on a website. That sort of thing. Heck, some people even set up phony twitter or facebook accounts for the characters in their books. And then there’s the book trailer…let’s not even think about that one for now.

I’ve been assuming it would be better to do these sorts of things once I’ve settled on a title for the/each book or for the series overall (even if I don’t split the first book, it’s written as the first part of a series).

At the very least, I can start planning what specific elements I’ll end up needing. If anyone has any suggestions, e.g., based on what they’ve seen out there for other genre novels, I’m legitimately interested.
