Great post, and you’re absolutely correct! If we are not doing this, we are missing out on the traffic it will drive, as well as the relationships it will build. Thank you for sharing your excellent tips on maximizing social media marketing. 🙂

Twitter has helped me become a more concise writer. I didn’t realize it at first, but constantly having to remove superfluous words from my Tweets makes me look for those words in my WIP too!

Thanks for this series – I’m learning a lot! (and now I need to change my name from SNS…)

I had fun at a writers conference not long ago tweeting quotes from the panels. A group of us did this and it was fun! Short tweets are the best.

Hmmm… Turned off the long updates so I don’t have to worry about the long tweets. Cross pollinating I’ll start soon.

It took me forever to get on Twitter, but it didn’t take me long to see the power of the retweet. I’ve so many great articles off of retweets that I can barely keep up, which is an incredibly awesome feeling! Tweetdeck is a must, with a few specialized columns it can be used to manage content for us!

Great post Kristen 🙂

In reply to Linda Sands. If you are using Twitter to build a platform you simply MUST have Tweet Deck.

Good advice, and yep, I use twitter to announce blog and sometimes facebook posts- as set up by my phone. But this is the problem I have. I can’t “follow” a conversation on twitter. I dumped a bunch of extraneous people/ groups so I could – maybe- follow a conversation, but the new twitter set up is odd. I have to post a reply. wait, refreash, open the @mentions section, scroll thru, to see if they have replied- and all of this is boringly time consuming. I tend to visit twitter 3 times a week for this reason. Argh. Any suggestions?

I don’t click the …’s either. Now, that being said, I tend to be a … girl on occassion. Not because I prattle on with no end in sight when Tweeting, but the …’s sandwiched in between words here and there makes it feel more like I’m speaking out loud. I’m one of those people who goes, “Umm, uhhh, ummm,” in between phrases. I suppose I inherited the annoying habit from my father who can take fifteen minutes to tell a 60 second story.
So I guess the …’s are a nice way of paying homage to dear old dad…and, um,…being myself in Tweets:)
Love Twitter Tuesday!!!
Have a great week,
Tamara

Cool stuff. I find myself too short of time to add much Tweetery of my own, but it doesn’t take much to smile at someone else’s Tweet and retweet it. Thus i get the benefit of their brilliance for my followers, plus the chance that they’ll retweet anything I may eventually say myself. Currently my mood is on a downswing, and I feel like I’m both blogging a dead horse and doing Tweet F.A. about it…..
