The last time I checked, there were more than eight million books on Amazon.com alone, and it’s easy to feel like yours is lost in the crowd. But, before you start wallowing in self-pity, think about Twitter. According to Statistic Brain, there are currently 645,750,000 active Twitter users. Note the word ACTIVE! Plus there are 135,000 new users signing up every day. There are on average 58 million Tweets per day. Wow. I think that’s seriously cool and not to be overlooked.
Some people argue that Twitter isn’t a great place for promoting books because of the very small length of postings; I’d argue to the contrary. From my experience, Twitter folks love to help each other — and during my last free giveaway day for my novel Come Find Me, I saw direct results. After I targeted my posts to specific Twitter handles (i.e., accounts), I saw promos for my book showing up on Pinterest pages and websites worldwide. But, hey, if you’re going to Tweet about your books, remember to balance it with promoting the people that promote you. What goes around definitely comes around in the Twitter universe, in a good way. (For a list of specific, great Twitter handles, scroll down this page.) ... [Continued on my blog]
