So I did a radio interview about the book this morning and just discovered that you can download and listen to it.

It's not as easy as click and listen but, if you'd like to hear me babble, (and who wouldn't?), just enter 8:30 where it says "start time" and 15 minutes where it says "duration". (It will start right after the Ry Cooder song ends).

The host was a bit slow on the questions, lol, but he was very nice.

A bit slow? First 60 seconds, you had to ask the questions *for* him! :rolleyes:

And yeah, you do sound just a wee bit Canadian. Nothin' at all wrong with that!

Wonderful that the launch party worked so well!

:rose: :rose: :rose:

I liked the reading, too. :)

Thanks, SW. Yes, I think he was a might unprepared. Stark contrast to the interview I did the previous day but...corporate radio vs. co-op. I can certainly see that working on the radio would be a fun job, though.

Hmmm, career #68? :)
 
I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but for someone who is supposed to be a marketing pro, I fail so hard at Twitter. I just...don't get WTF I'm supposed to do. Anybody got any tips? :eek:

Netz had some really good tips - at least for someone interested in using Twitter as a marketing tool - in a thread that I started some time ago. I'll look for a link and add it here shortly.

Use twitter to point people to your blog. You could call your blog Jeremy and people will find you if you do this. THIS you want to do every day.

I think she also had some really good things to add in a thread about Twitter.

Thank you!

I try, but I feel like that awkward, rambling kid in the corner that everybody's pointedly ignoring.

I know the feeling. I keep thinking that it would add to my list of followers if I made some random bizarre statements about politics, sex, religion, or football but none of the above relate to my business in any rational way.

Ditto. At this point, I'm just babbling.

I used to just use Twitter as a link dump, but I'm experimenting with trying to do more than that with it. Suddenly, I remember why link dumping was so attractive. :rolleyes:
 
Just listened to this interview with this great new Canadian SF writer, while wearing my fleece-lined tights!

This one's for writers but it has good general tips, as well.

http://inkygirl.com/a-writers-guide-to-twitter/

I approach Twitter like a cocktail party, which probably isn't much help if you hate cocktail parties but it gives you at least some kind of tangible image. And it is not the easiest medium to flourish in if you're not inclined to small talk but, like anything, you can get better at it.

I loathe much of the marketing I see on Twitter and have become ultra fussy about who I will follow. The people I do follow are either friends, organizations I want to support, or people who have really funny/interesting things to say. If you can make me laugh, I'll follow.

Ack, have to make dinner! Would write more but hopefully that's something.

Thank you! That's got to help me.

Maybe part of the reason I fail at Twitter is that I also fail at small talk. (Presumably, I would also fail at cocktail parties, but I've never been forced to attend one.)

I am a total Twitter spammer on most of my accounts. I've only got them there for blog backlinks. So, suffice it to say, I'm probably one of those everybody hates. I'm trying to do different on this one account, but...ugh.

Anyway, thank you again, K. I'm going to check out the guide you linked. :)

(Great job, Keroin! :) ETA: It was really cool to hear your voice, too. It makes you a lot more real than pixels. The host was weird, though.)

Is this for adult?

Break ALL rules if you are in adult especially. We don't cocktail party, we shove our tits in everyone's face and do lines on the coffee table. Woooooo! Forget being correct and bring your curmudgeonly southern real, because I'd twitter hit that!

I spam heavily. But I spam in amusing ways. Can you frame your spam in a funny way?

Spam and don't worry. Use the fuck out of hashtags. Spam hashtags every day once or twice. Follow everyone in industry and a couple outside of industry. Don't be afraid of politics in short sharp one liners.

Use "#nsfw" a LOT if you are, people appreciate it.

DO the stupid follow friday meme.

Unlike K I follow every third fucker more or less, especially if they're relevant but not competing (latex clothing designers, escort directories, sex positive activist bloggers) My follows are over 500 but my followers are about 2000 and change and I try to keep that ratio ish. I have multiple accounts, but the closest to "me" is the one I carefully use and the most followed, there's a lot of "real person" factor to it, but it's NOT shy about what you need to BUY perverts!

Ask questions even if no one answers. Just pretend you are a Kardashian at all times and you'll start to see follows with value in spite of yourself. Be negative but never THAT kind of negative.

In short, I have a twitter presence I'm not dying of shame over, but I realize I'm probably not everyone's cuppa. But the bottom line is that I DEFINITELY see and can point to real financial outcome from twitter activity. If I were less aggressive, I might be more followed, but I would not be monetized. If I was not monetized in some way on Twitter I would not be using it.

Remember, while I throw the term around, it's not really Spam. You have followers, people who are interested in what you are doing, WANT your next recording, WANT to know your phone availability. Don't make them work for that.

Use Tumblr also. Put up pretty pictures. I have to start doing this.

Ahh, yes. I should have considered this. BIG difference. The "why" is critical. My bad.

I am on there for readers and writers of speculative fiction and that's a very, very different crowd to market to/network with. If I followed Netz's model I'd have zero followers in my target market.

Sorry Bunny. Should have asked that.

Yep, I'm adult. I don't use Twitter for anything else.

Thank you so much for this advice. I'm actually following your main account on there, I think. You do an awesome job. (I know, stalker Bunny. :eek:) I was fucking around on there last night and think I'm getting better at it, but I still struggle with knowing what to say or finding the right balance of curmudgeonly me and sexy stuff. :rolleyes:

Also, I appreciate the reminder about Tumblr. I opened one back in the summer, put a couple of posts on it, and promptly forgot about it. When I go back to work this afternoon, I'll start using it again.

Thanks Seela! It's nice to become real. :)

I think the host was just very unprepared. The host at the other, commercial, radio station, was super sharp - but unfortunately I have no way to access that interview online.

No problemo. I got something useful out of what you posted, anyway. Like, I never would've thought to make your last post of the night something cute or funny so that it's at the top of the page all night/morning until you're on there again, so when people find you, that's the first thing they see. But now I know! :)
 
Tons of great info on the twitter thing, ladies! Thanks to you all, I'm trying to wrap my head around using this for my work/business, and the tips help immensely!
 
I have fallen in love with Toffee.
It's just like Dusty Rose only not quite so pink.
I may have to get a second one.
 
What do people normally do, when their partner leaves the house for five days?

I'mma make vanilla fudge and scrub the sauna, I guess.

You can tweet pictures, too, by the way. It's done through a link in the text of the tweet. There are various options for picture hosting, but quite a few of the people I follow use Instagram for this.
