Twitter is a great way to develop relationships and promote yourself and your book. But it’s important to avoid being seen as someone who just promotes themselves. Most of your tweets should be about helping others, but you also need to inject some personality to help people get to know you. Here are some ideas for tweeting:
- Link to helpful or entertaining articles, Web sites, and blog posts and recommend products and services you find useful.
- Offer an incentive to subscribe to your ezine or blog, or offer a free eBook or sample book chapter with no strings attached.
- Announce your live and virtual events such as book tours and teleseminars.
- Teach a mini-lesson in 140 characters.
