Week 2 on Twitter as @SandieWillWrite

4/5/2014

0 Comments

 
So, I'm on my second week as @SandieWillWrites on Twitter, and I already have 410 followers! Sounds crazy, I know, but having a social media expert in the family has helped tremendously, and I though I'd share what I have learned from her, as well as on my own. First off, I picked a Twitter name that included my name as well as what I do, and I made sure to write an informative narrative about me. Second, I searched about 100 writers and literary agents the first week and followed them, and I made sure to thank all of my new followers on a nightly basis. Writers like this, because it brings them exposure, since they are trying to sell their books. In addition, I posted informative writing-related articles and posts from my science blog to try to keep the interest and several were retweeted. I also made sure to write back to any authors who asked me questions or started conversation.

After the first week, I was up to about 220 followers and added onto a writer's "list." These lists are a valuable source of information, as everyone on the list is a writer or likes following writers.  So, I proceeded to follow around 200 writers on this list. And BOOM! The flood gates opened up, and I'm getting about 50 followers a day now. I will continue this technique to add to my followers and soon should have over 1,000. This is peanuts though compared to the writers I've seen with 10s, even 100s, of thousands of followers. Even better, these power tweeters love to share your information to all their followers, creating even more followers for you!

What I have experienced so far on Twitter is a warm and inviting "village" of writers.  They don't mind us newbies, and in fact encourage others to follow.  It's like having an army of mentors at your fingertips! In addition, publishing companies, social media experts, publicists and all varieties of bookworms provide information on new books, screenplays, and giveaways.  This has truly been more successful than I ever imagined, and I'm well on my way to gaining many follows before my book comes out, something that is important whether I use an agent or self-publish.  This, on top of the following of this webpage and a new Facebook account, should hopefully give me a good-sized audience.  Until then, I'll keep on tweeting and bring you back the tips I learn, so you can be an expert tweeter too! Good luck and have fun!  --Sandie
