I'm certainly no expert and things I write here are my opinions or what I have found works for me, you know?<br /><br />I think so long as you tweet other things and people chat with you, etc. promoting often isn't that big of a deal (on twitter anyhow). Like I said, if people get to know you, they are probably more likely to want to buy your stuff than some random stranger promoting. Know what I mean?MBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325522661963443320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516172863710781538.post-59392044964130909562011-09-02T18:47:05.657-04:002011-09-02T18:47:05.657-04:00It's hard.

I don't think it's right for people to tell other people how to get the word out about their projects. I send out tweets to my fan base. I have fans in the UK, so I tweet to people in the UK. I also have fans in the US, and my blog has fans from all over. So, I might have to tweet updates three times a day.I might send out 20 tweets on my books, and maybe ten on my blog a day. However I'm talking to people all around the world. I'm in Texas and people buy my books in the UK because I got the word out. So stay true to yourself..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449949927005418268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516172863710781538.post-16890351318958788992011-09-02T13:53:05.710-04:002011-09-02T13:53:05.710-04:00You can stalk me anytime you want Patty ;) As far ...You can stalk me anytime you want Patty ;) As far as if I'm stalking you...well..were you missing a piece of that yummy looking cake? if so..umm it wasn't me :P<br /><br /><br />Thanks Joe and it's true, most won't buy because you want them to, but you still have to get the word out there. They won't know they want to buy it if they don't know it's out there! :)MBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325522661963443320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516172863710781538.post-19006592233879831432011-09-02T13:00:20.945-04:002011-09-02T13:00:20.945-04:00Nice article.

Haven't seen that work, yet.<br /><br />People don't buy because we ask them to, they buy because they want to. I haven't even come close to that conversion.Joe Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766875223225007263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516172863710781538.post-54419014955083817302011-09-02T12:32:49.666-04:002011-09-02T12:32:49.666-04:00Agreed with what you said.

What's funny, is I just wrote blog post talking about some of the same things (but focusing more on twitter) This is like 2 for 2 our thoughts have aligned. Are you stalking me MB?
