Tweaking Your Tweets and Other Tips for Integrating Your Social Media By Carolyn Howard-Johnson
This Book Is Sponsored by Gift Shop Magazine Blurb: "It's entirely possible that three or four years from now, we'll have moved on [to something new on the Web]. But the key elements of the Twitter platform will persevere. Every major channel of information will be Twitterfied." ~ Time Magazine |

“When business is slow,” says Carolyn, “the last budget one should trim is advertising.” Up until now Tweeting cost us nothing unless we become addicted. In that case, I suggest you stop tweeting if it hurts. Carolyn writes that tweeting helps us connect with our target audience in a way that delights them, builds relationships, and creates a sense of community with people of like interest.
Since I am a new author myself, and Yes, I tweet; but,
after reading this book, I realize I haven‘t been
appreciating what an exciting and versatile tool
Twitter can be in promoting my books and myself
over the internet. Carolyn reinforces the ideas that
tweeting will help you not only drive new traffic to
your site, but it will also help you create a loyal
following of repeat clients . . .even help you make
new friends. I like this idea.
There are several books out there on tweeting but
Carolyn Howard-Johnson's "Frugal and Focused
Tweeting for Retailers" should be the one considered
mandatory reading. For all who want to successfully
compete in the marketplace regardless of the services
or products being offered to a consuming public, her
books are like a congenial roadmap with all the
shortcuts and detours to your future prosperity.
Twitter is about making new connections, says Carolyn. For retailers that means, it’s a customer-building process. We aren’t fussy about who comes into our store as long as they are reasonably well behaved. It’s the same with Twitter.
FIVE STARS FOR AMAZON
