I try to retweet anything I find interesting, because I like to be supportive of other writers. I do tweet about a lot of my blog posts, but not all of them. I just find it hard to keep up with all the tweets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-49647957084021822592011-10-30T15:45:13.443-05:002011-10-30T15:45:13.443-05:00Twitter can get very indepth.

I think Maggie and Aidana mentioned using Tweet Deck, but I'd wait until I was comfortable being on Twitter before venturing out and using Tweet Deck. <br /><br />Also, Aidana has a great tip - don't follow just anyone. Follow your interests, but I also target authors, readers, publishers, editors, etc. Makes no sense to target a guy who loves football who probably wouldn't buy your book.<br /><br />I'm glad my tips helped.

I use TweetDeck and key words/phrases to tip me off when people mention hey are looking for an illustrator. It stays running in the background as I do other work and a little window pops up if one of my categories gets a tweet.<br /><br />Another tip, I don't just follow anybody, even if they follow me. I target specific audience: authors, publishers, editors, avid readers, etc.<br /><br />Great post.Aidana WillowRavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457009991712387399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-50386140366030008872011-10-29T21:30:03.536-05:002011-10-29T21:30:03.536-05:00Thanks for your post!

Tweet Deck is a great way to schedule those tweets. I haven't used it but a lot of people like it.<br /><br />Also, I got another tip - Try to manage it so you post a 3-5 non marketing tweets to 1 marketing tweet. You don't want to overwhelm on the marketing and you do want to show off a bit of your personality. Makes sense. <br /><br />PS...pass the coffee and chocolate. <br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-74368659304113055182011-10-29T12:19:25.763-05:002011-10-29T12:19:25.763-05:00Hi Steph, or should I say @StephBurkhart? I'm ...Hi Steph, or should I say @StephBurkhart? I'm a fledgling tweet or twirp or whatever the terminology is. I'll get the hang of this, usually right about when the next new thing comes along. I've found it handy to use Tweet Deck (some folks use Hoot Suite)to schedule posts throughout the day, that way I "seem" to have a bit more Twitter presence. I'm always at a loss as to what to retweet or reply to. I missed out on thanking a bunch of people for the #ff stuff.
