Be sure and take the time to figure out all...Rick,<br /><br />Be sure and take the time to figure out all the advantages a writer can find with using Twitter. Stretch outside the box to build your follower list, via your own 'web' of potential followers. Book signing schedules, speaking engagements, etc... perfect source. Your followers will be caring enough to 'RT' (Retweet) your tweets for you, which helps you get the word out all over the place!<br /><br />You can also schedule a chat amongst your followers, ahead of time. Set up the topic as a hash-tag (ex: #folkmusic_chat).<br /><br />Simply send out a tweet about the upcoming chat. A great time period to send out would be between 4-5pm. People tend to get on twitter at the end of their work day, before cooking supper, etc., for some reason.<br /><br />Begin your chat by welcoming everyone and adding the hashtag. Slowly but surely, you'll see responses. If you set up a consistent schedule for a chat, the group, and your follower list, tends to build quickly. Your followers will begin to 'RT' your tweets about the chat date and time to others that may be interested in joining in on the conversation.<br /><br />Most chats tend to be set for an hour at a time. But, I've seen some run over if the conversation is going strong when schedules and priorities are relaxed.<br /><br />Twitter can become a great way to revive movement of sales on past products, as well!<br /><br />You can find me on Twitter as WeldrBrat or Teresa Schoellkopf. Holler if you ever have questions!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Teresa Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121820035844661657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-55001276933088312692013-02-13T20:24:10.231-06:002013-02-13T20:24:10.231-06:00I have facebook but don't use it..I've nev...I have facebook but don't use it..I've never done Twitter. Sounds very challenging! You have a good reason to be more involved in the cyber world..getting your books out there where people can find what's really "trending"..good writing! I laughed at Jordan's pic..reminded me immediately of something...."Jordan with the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz!"....Have a Happy Valentines Day!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.com
