I always post a link to my current blogpost (and get lots of folks who come and check it out) and a few times if I'm giving a class. I think the trick is to spend about 90% of your time tweeting RT's of other folks' stuff, or having actual conversations, so that when you do promo, people don't run away screaming, "Oh, not HER again!" Thanks for sharing all your great info :-)Deborah Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032614187237072683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-4545891018070810052012-01-20T17:08:59.677-05:002012-01-20T17:08:59.677-05:00Great hashtag list!

For instance, here's a comical tweet:<br /><br />I can't believe I forgot to write my blog post! #WheresMyHead<br /><br />Now while this may not actually target a specific audience, it's gives a little personality to the tweeter and hopefully a smile or laugh to those reading it. Thus, you may actually get some responses back, and those replies can quite possibly become your targeted audience.<br /><br />Great post Tonya!Renee Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911632561277496224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-33493170384406309822012-01-20T07:40:02.716-05:002012-01-20T07:40:02.716-05:00Fantastic tips, Tonya!

I once had a Twitter expert tell me that there are two types of high-value tweeters: the "engagers" (who actually are ON Twitter building a community) and the "experts" (who push items of value to their community). Most authors fall somewhere between the two versions, but as long as you're not a sheer "promoter" (flooding Twitter with the equivalent of promo spam/non-value information), you are adding to the Twitterverse! :)<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />~JJennifer McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05274109818038832604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-31760368884329121532012-01-20T06:54:35.010-05:002012-01-20T06:54:35.010-05:00Thanks, Duffy!!
