How I use Twitter to promote my articles

Tweet

Twitter and I became friends back in 2009. The relationship was rocky at first. It took me a few months to get used to being on Twitter. Now, I really like it and use it often to promote my articles. Its like anything else. The more you use it, the more you get noticed. The more you get noticed, the more people want to follow you. That encourages you to use Twitter more. It's a cycle. I originally signed up for Twitter because of a big road trip. People wanted to know where we were going to be on the trip. Texting everyone was impractical and my groups would only hold a few people. Signing up seemed the best way that people could follow our journey. That was 5,500 followers ago. My Twitter account and blogs are now linked. A simple click of the button means that the article is posted and the link sent to my followers a few seconds later. I get an automatic notification when someone sends my article out to their followers. This way, I can respond either publicly or privately to say thank you. I also try to share the love by retweeting the work of my friends. We don't exist in a vacuum. Twitter is the same as any other social media relationship. You get out of it what you put into it.
