Anyone use Twitter to promote thier stories?

[HeyAll]

If so, any insight to how it works or any advise? Also, do you find that it gets you new readers that you normally wouldn’t have gotten?

Thanks

I think Jasmine (silkstockingslover) does. You could send her a PM.

Have you seen the Lit twitter page? There are a couple authors who get retweeted. My first tweet was retweeted, now i have 8 followers. : )

Suprisingly, some of the people who follow me have verification with over 100,000 followers of their own!

Yes. I use twitter to promote my writing, both free and commercial.

How much it helps I can't say, but I do see retweets of things I post about Literotica contests and such.

Twitter seems to be more about building a popular fan base and then going "Oh, by the way, I'm a writer. here, check out my latest book." than about being a writer and trying to use it to promote.

That is an observation based on only one year on the twitter site, though. I could be as wrong as right.

I did recently advertise a free Halloween short story collection book and it did rather well. In free give aways, anyway.

 

[HeyAll]

Any tips to gain more followers? (Which ironically proves your point about popularity)

I don't tweet and I usually spellcheck so THIER doesn't slip by.
