Whether you use it for business, pleasure, or both, Twitter is likely a large part of your social media life. With nearly 650,000,000 users, sending more than half a billion tweets every single day, the Internet’s water cooler is also overflowing with opportunities to attract hordes of new followers ripe for conversion into new customers and fans.

    This is an informative post with suggestions for improving an author presence on Twitter. Twitter is becoming my favorite social media site. I retweet notices about writing retreats, workshops and conferences, give a nightly #writetip suggestion for writing improvement, and give a nightly link to my Blogger blog post. @BarbaraMcDWhitt

      Here’s the thing — give it a few weeks and if your Google analytics tells you you’ve got referrals coming from Twitter, then it’s worth keeping around, right? If not, put the energy into whatever social media engine IS driving visitors to your website 🙂
