Blog & Tweet

I’ll make this short and sweet. I’m no expert on blogging or tweeting, but I have had some success in building a following in a short period of time. Many of my Twitter pals have asked about how I did it. I sat down a couple of months ago and wrote a few notes about that and then it sat on my computer…

Last weekend, I revisited those notes and thought, “Hmmm, I think this might be a handbook.” And sure enough, it was.

So, I sat down and wrote out what I’ve been doing. I’m absolutely sure the result is only my way of doing it and that there are many others, but I’m also sure there are some pretty good ideas in the resulting booklet “Blog & Tweet – How to Make a Splash Online.”

If you know anyone who is struggling to get their follower numbers up there, you might suggest it to them. I’m really hoping this will level the playing field for newbies and others who could use a few tips.

Thanks.

    Oh my gosh, Red, I have so much to read as it is!!! Just kidding. Of course I'll get to it ASAP. :) I love the whole blogging/tweeting experience. So far, anyway. As much as I'd love 10,000 + followers, I'm okay with the slow procession that are coming my way. I only have 137, and that's a chore in itself to keep up with! :)

    Kathy, you're inspiring me--or making me feel guilty! Seems about the same right now. I have a Twitter series and a marketing series I need to convert into eBook form and start selling but they sit, instead, as links on my blog. Well, at least I made pages out of them! Once I get my first book (of fiction) out, I'll dive into the non-fiction, too.

    Loved this comment and I really understand. I just published it because it was sitting in my mind scratching at my brain. I'm already finding I have more to say - so I suspect there will be a volume two. I struggle with which project to work on constantly. Good luck to you on that!

      I've decided the way to choose the "most-important project" to work on is to determine which one (A) will make money (or the most money, the fastest) and (B) will be ready for market with the least effort. Yeah, that's probably a copout, but I've been online promo'ing myself for almost a year -- with 3 books in progress (1 as my SciFi pen name, only 2 as myself) and nothing for sale.

      It's ridiculous to keep trying to sound valid when I talk about selling books if I don't have any books selling. Plus, I'm broke :( I need the money (haha)
