I’ve been aware of Twitter for quite awhile. In fact, when San Diego had it’s fires last year, I started following one of the reporters to track what was happening.
Now I’ve started Twittering as part of the promotion for this blog. Of course, I don’t really know how to use it that way. Meryl Kevans of Meryl’s Notes Blog aka the Content Mavan assures me it’s worth the time to figure out. Problogger, of course, has an aritcle called: How I Use Twitter to Promote My Blog. Since I have, so far, less than 20 followers I doubt if I can double my blog traffice soon that way, but the article makes sense to me.
The ClickBank Blog (the service I use to sell my ebooks) has a three part series:
- What is Twitter, and How Can It Help Your ClickBank Business?
- How to Get Started With Twitter
- Twitter Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs
Two newsletters:
Abundant Freelance Writing – a resource for freelance writers including 3x a week job postings.
Writing With Vision – for those who want to get a book written.

It will interest me to see whether you actually double your Twitter following from your blog, instead of the other way around — I already had a twitter account, and have been reading your blog for the last two weeks or so. Glad to see you jumping in with even more social media!

The blog is already increasing my twitter following… isn’t that a lovely thread… social media… I’m being dragged kicking and screaming…
Oh dear – do I really HAVE to succumb to it? Sigh. Okay, okay. I give up – technology, I’m yours!

No, Lori, you don’t have to succumb… but… you probably will
fyi – it’s called “tweet” not “twit” — so your headline should read “learning to tweet” not “learning to twit”
just a little fyi to a twitter newbie
But I felt like such a twit doing it! Lol, I think I’ll let it stand, just as a reminder of what at tweeting twit I can be…
back at you
