Twitter 101 for Authors by Shelley Hitz

Hello to all you wonderful authors who’ve been my guest at Page Readers.  I hope you are all doing well and the wheels of your promotional campaign are moving along smoothly.

Many of you know that I am an active fan of twitter.  I say active fan, because I am active on twitter and a fan of all its uses.  As a promotion specialist, I use twitter to not only share my own information, like news of upcoming or recorded shows or new reviews posted to the Page Readers blog, but also to learn new things and meet new people.



I’ve met many of my guests on twitter, by using hash tags (#) to search topics or reading a re-tweeted post that caught my attention and led me to a new author.  Once you get into the habit of using twitter, it can be a very powerful tool.



Someone else I met on twitter is Shelley Hitz.  As a Self Publishing Coach, Shelly has many wonderful products available to help authors navigate the web in search of their own success.  


One tool she has produced is especially for authors who want to learn how to use twitter to successfully build their own audience.


Twitter 101 for Authors is a short, sweet and incredibly powerful tool created to help authors tap into the power of twitter without being overwhelmed, or worse, looking like a rookie tweeter.  Learn how to master the world of micro-blogging quickly, grow your audience and increase your book sales.

And connect with me on twitter! I love to re-tweet!

Carolyn Howard-Johnson "Frugal and Focused Tweeting for Retailers"

Carolyn Howard-Johnson's book “Frugal and Focused Tweeting for Retailers” has totally changed the way I use twitter. Having used to micro blogging service for some time now, I still didn’t really “get” what it was really all about. Reading Carolyn's book put it all into perspective, one step at a time. The funny part of this book is that it took me forever to get through it – I kept having to put it down to go do what she says to do! Now that I know what to do, my followers are increasing and I’m enjoying the “Tweets” Rewards!


Be sure to mark your calendars for Thursday July 22nd at 10am Pacific when Carolyn will join me on Page Readers to discuss this book and others from her How To Do It Frugally Series.
