This is up there with the Social Media Marketing Guides that tell you 'Step1: Create Viral Content'!

For myself, I don't think I've ever looked through a Twitterer's back list even when they include 'Writer' in their handle.

Book link usage history does suggest that people click through to my book from Twitter, but most clicks come from the US, whilst most of my Tweets (apart from the shameless plugs) refer to stuff that I would expect to be only of interest to UK dwellers. However, I would expect my Tweets to enrage many of them, even when they sparkle with wit; perhaps that's why.

You should post your tweets here in your author thread as well.

I quite enjoy being enraged.

It's true; she does.

Take every good rating and review as a compliment and every bad review as a learning opportunity. Don't worry about the rest because you can't change it.
