Follow a couple hundred a day until you have at least 1,000, and almost as many follow you back. The back-followers are the ones who you'll be advertising that tour to. Send them to all the blogs by leaving comments, links, scintillating posts. You'll see quickly how the blog stats are coming from Twitter links. Practice with Herstories and your blog and make note of the impact as you get more Twitter followers. I think you'll be pretty impressed.<BR/><BR/>Dani<BR/>http://twitter.com/blogbooktours<BR/><BR/>http://twitter.com/EchelonPress<BR/><BR/>Lots of bookish people at both.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241362000528307226.post-80639001000455038962009-02-02T13:59:00.000-08:002009-02-02T13:59:00.000-08:00I'm on Twitter and following you, Dani.

Sharon, I have two Twitter accounts - one for BlogBookTours and one for QuakeBooks, and find that I end up overlapping my tweets and followers anyway. It's easier to just have one account, so as long as you're sending folks to your assorted blogs and websites, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's too hard to transfer that many followers very easily.<BR/><BR/>Dani<BR/>@QuakeBooks<BR/>@BlogBookToursDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241362000528307226.post-51821695549314328352009-02-01T14:47:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:47:00.000-08:00A while ago I had signed up for Twitter, but never...A while ago I had signed up for Twitter, but never paid much attention to it. <BR/><BR/>Then you got me hooked on Twitter.

I get notices that I've got new followers, so I go to their profile page to see if I want to follow back. If the person has no bio and no tweets, which means I know nothing about them, I usually don't follow them back -- unless it's someone I already know online, such as someone from the Blog Book Tour group.<BR/><BR/>Helen Ginger<BR/>http://twitter.com/MermaidHelHelen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.com
