How Do You Tweet

One of my biggest goals is to start promoting my writing. There are a lot of good resources out there that I have used in the past that haven't cost me a penny.

Twitter is always a good resource and I've been using it more and more recently to promote and share my writing.

Even if you're not a writer, there are other ways to use resources like Twitter to tweet about your business.

Some even use tweets to write great how-tos for personal and business use, such as, "How to Set Up a Funded Proposal to Advertise Your Business -http://t.co/8Nl3Mi0tQl"

For me it's as simple as tweeting a link to this blog post.

How do you use Twitter?

Using Tweets to Promote My Writing

It has been a long time since I've been active on Twitter. I've had so much going on that my time has been very limited.

Now for most, not being on Twitter is no big deal, but when you're a writer like me, it can be a very useful promotional tool. It can also be used to promote a business just as long as the tweets aren't spammy.

Twitter isn't the only tool that is great for promoting and sharing useful information. There are quite a few resources out there, but for now, I'll be focusing on Twitter.

I'll be sharing many of my posts from this blog as well as some sneak peeks of my novel, The Generation that you won't find anywhere else.

In Pain, But Hopeful

I woke up this morning in pain and not sure why. There was a piercing pain through my midsection both front and back. It lasted for a few hours, but has calmed down a little now. If it continues it's probably a good idea to see a doctor. However, it's a tough call since I don't currently have insurance and can't get it. They did recently open a free clinic, so if I need to I guess I'll just drop by there. I'll keep you updated if the pain continues.

Meanwhile, as many of you may already know I like keeping up with blogger John Chow. If you're unfamiliar with who he is, he's the blogging guru who took a risk and decided to try making money online with his blog. Well, it worked and now he's known all over the world for his success.

Today I was reading one of his posts about sponsored tweets. Apparently he's made $1,000 with them in about a month's time. Damn, the man is good!

While I'm not as active as I used to be with tweeting on twitter, I've realized I miss slowing down and smelling the cappuccinos, fresh baked bread and freshly bathed babies. Of course I've already been missing out in twittering because I actually could have been twittering my way out of this economy with another way to make income. Damn it.

Well, that's what I get for not keeping up with my social clubs. I just hope you're not doing the same. I'll let you know how sponsored tweets is going when I have something to report. I think someone needs to just kick me in the ass and say hey, get busy, life isn't going to stop for you. Time to hop on that train and kick myself in the ass.lol

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet

Okay, so sue me. I'm a twitter user. I love twitter because I can send messages that are short, sweet and to the point. Plus I've learned it's a great way to let friends, family and even admirers know what I've been up to on my blog.

However, it does get really frustrating when I have about 10 emails a day from followers who just want to push their damn product. Hey, I know we all have to make a living, but come on! When all you see on their tweets is, buy my product, buy my product, buy my product, you've got to go. Sorry. There's no way around it.

I enjoy tweeting to people who really have something to say. I don't even mind if those people only tweet once in a great while, at least it's a worthwhile tweet when I do hear from them. Yeah, I know I'm rambling, but that's okay! So if you tweet and you're a human being, add me, if you'd like. I'm under The Insane Writer, of course!
