Something to look forward to if I need to spend the cash on something tangible – a bookstore, but I would add an Internet Café with a mini ice cream place in the front. Lipton Lemon Tea, hot or cold!

But people who read books like tea and bookstores, so same demographic. And most people don’t want non-stop author-promo, so that other aspect of your life would break up the “marketing.” But your time, so do as you see fit :D.

My main source of income may be writing, but I do have another job: I own a bookstore and tea bar. None of the books I’ve written (yet) are about tea, so I don’t see any reason to send my readers a bunch of tea tweets, nor my tea customers a bunch of tweets about my books.

I have only one identity on LinkedIn, but I manage half a dozen pages on Facebook for various books, businesses, nonprofits, and clubs. I had a single blog, but split it into two about a year and a half ago.

I will agree that one Twitter identity is fine for an author (especially an author who writes only in one genre). Personally, though, if I follow an author on Twitter it’s because I want to know about the author and the books. If the feed is filled with irrelevant data from other aspects of the author’s life, I’m not going to follow it.
