I do not twit – taking care of hubby, writing my posts and answering comments in addition to going on little trips take a lot of my time. I might like to twit but then it would be one more thing to do. My daughter gave me a smart phone for mother’s day but I barely use it – just to answer their messages most of the time. It seems there are a lot of rules in this twitting business.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-51754386049016743762015-09-08T08:17:06.566+10:002015-09-08T08:17:06.566+10:00Thanks for sharing all of these tips with us.

And the spammy messages. <br /><br />I have retweeted a couple of tweets I was mentioned in, like when I found a new review from a review site and when my publisher tweeted me. <br /><br />I always interact with writers but the only followers I get are from writers. I follow a lot of them but I don't want to follow every single one of them if they aren't in my niche or don't interact with me in some way. As a result, I've received quite a few unfollows this week. I noticed that writers only follow other writers to get more follows. They don't interact or build relationships with them, which is a bummer. If they did, I would follow them back.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-7130773443204636162015-09-03T22:22:24.491+10:002015-09-03T22:22:24.491+10:00Thanks Christine.Thanks Christine.Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-59465920733618491422015-09-03T22:13:20.363+10:002015-09-03T22:13:20.363+10:00Fantastic rules.

I didn't know the one about sticking below 140 - I'm forever editing just to get down to 140... and I thought tweeting a review quote was OK because it's not you that originated it. That would also count towards your 80% - and I thought original content was always best rather than endless RTs! I have a lot to learn - oh, and my header is still blank, yikes!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.com
