How An Author Creates Releationships With Thousands of Readers

I admit I’m a twitter.com addict.

I post 20 tweets (twitter messages) for every blog post here. Most are very short, and twitter doesn’t allow any over 140 characters (not 140 words.. just 140 characters). I’m also using several other quick posting social media tools and explore new ones everyday.

But WHY is TWITTER so IMPORTANT?

First off, I went to Twitter for the same reasons I started blogging, write article, send email and have a web site. Because I know my readers are there. I always want to be where my readers might be looking for me.

But there is an important difference with Twitter.com. Once you get the hang of it, you find that there are lots of “spare moments” where you can check in with friends and let them know you care. After a while, I discovered that that I like having tons of friends, and now have a way to create and maintain relationships without a overbearing grip on my regular schedule.

If I think of sharing, I can do it in seconds.

Are Your Still Thinking About Using Facebook?

I’ve been telling authors how important it is to get on Facebook for months, and seen books and authors make new connections and sell books and get website visitors.

I’ve had new clients for my high end services come directly from Facebook contacts too.

The marketing possibilities are growing… Make sure we’re you have a Facebook profile and add me as a friend.

Are We Connected Online?

I was at a conference today. I met up with dozens of authors, some old friends and a some new.

I asked each one “Are We Connected Online?”

Even with thousands of direct connections, and a network of millions, I still find people I know that haven’t connected online… so I’m sharing this short introduction to social networking. This is the best way for every author with any sized budget to market themselves, attract new readers and partners, sell book and creat a best seller online.
