Here's What It's All About

We'll be doing everything he said to do to create a strong, engaged Twitter following that will help you sell books.

What you need to do is create a post once a day for Twitter - something your ideal audience would LOVE, then post the link to it in the skype group so we can all like it.

[Once you've created it, click the time next to it (it usually says "now") that will bring your tweet up in a popup and the URL it lists in your browser is what you need to copy and paste into the skype group]

Whenever you see a link from one of the other members go and like it in return.

You'll probably want to make sure Skype is running for most of the day in the background on your computer so you can quickly see them - we're aiming for a morning post, however someone's audience might do better with a different time, so keep an eye on it.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1487795237465{margin-top: 20px !important;}"]Please keep other chatter to a minimum in the group - if you want to share something related to twitter marketing that you think everyone would like, that's great, but most other things, please just skype the person it was for separately. This is the one method of reaching me that my family, friends and inner circle uses so I keep it up 24/7 so I can respond instantly. Thank you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" width="1/6" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" width="1/1" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default"][vc_column_text]

Creating Your Tweet

Use emoji's in your tweet, they're proven to get more responses.

Name your graphic with your equivalent of KarenDimmickBookMarketingWritersBlock1.jpg
ie your name, a few keywords - helps with SEO

Put a link in your tweet back to your site if it goes to a blog post, or a video etc

Most importantly do this the same time of day every day - morning is best, but look up your analytics to work out when your audience is engaging with your tweets the best.

The best day and therefore the day you put your most important tweet out is Sat morning

The other thing Ken suggested doing for Twitter in his session is spending 10-15 mins a day following your ideal clients - for me it would be book reviewers, book bloggers and authors - follow 20 or so a day and about 1/3 of them should follow you back if your tweets start to look interesting and you've got that social proof that this group will give each of us.

Also work out the hashtags you want to use! Something your ideal reader is looking for so they see it[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" width="1/6" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" width="1/1" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default"][vc_column_text]
