When my two favorite websites a Literotica and Couponmom...lol
A bit slow? First 60 seconds, you had to ask the questions *for* him!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.

And yeah, you do sound just a wee bit Canadian. Nothin' at all wrong with that!
Wonderful that the launch party worked so well!
I liked the reading, too.
Congrats to you! Rest well, you deserve to enjoy every minute!
Fleece lined tights are amazing, I seriously recommend them as you can wear a skirt all winter and not get cold
Thanks, I'll have to see if I can find a pair. I like wearing skirts and dresses, but in winter, if it's windy, it's horrible.
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?
Netzach said: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.
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.
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.

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

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.
Just listened to this interview with this great new Canadian SF writer, while wearing my fleece-lined tights!
Thank you!

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.
(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.)
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.
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!
