It’s over 8 months since I wrote that article, and Twitter continues to be the life-pulse of my business, and an avid curiosity of mine. I will be posting some articles soon on Twitter apps and other “toys” I have found that have truly enhanced my online networking results. Be sure to subscribe to this blog to receive them– they’ll be filled with useful networking tips.

Dear Lynn,
Excellent content as always. Twitter is still an unexplored land for me. Many thanks for charting the territory.

Lynn,
You are a fount of information. I want to know everything about social media that you can pass on. I just signed up for ‘Nutshell’ which is a service of Constant Contact. I don’t know if you are familiar with them. They used to be primarily in the ‘bulk e-mail newsletter biz and required a fairly frustrating knowledge of html code to use their program. They have transformed themselves into a very user friendly company.

I use them to announce an occasional, short and sweet, ‘Alison*s Little Byte of Info’. Just a few lines with links to my latest blogs, goings on and other activities of interest. You can subscribe directly from my CONTACT US page of http://www.MarketingBytes.biz.

Would love for you to be able to take time to explore some of my writings, lots of fun and educational. Please keep me posted on all the social media from the most used (most of which I now have to the most specialized and obsure if they are of value).

Have you tried Squidoo.com yet? I like it but takes a bit of getting used to since you do not post ‘one profile’ but continually create ‘lenses’ or perspectives of oneself and one’s interests. Also signed up for Hootsuite. Good one.
That’s all for now from Alison Gilbert, Marketing Bytes Maven aka the lady in the hat!

Hi Lynn,

Little by little I’m making it through the wilderness. I made some wrong choices in self-publishing until after trial and error I became my own publishing company. The passion I imparted to my book is what kept me going. Quite honestly, internet marketing requires a savvy I’ve yet to acquire…just like the labyrinth of the publishing field. Thanks for being a light in the dark. At some point I will likely be calling on you.

I just published my first book and your story inspires me! I enjoyed reading about your journey and all that Twitter has helped you accomplish. I look forward to learning more from you and your wonderful garden of friends! There are so many helpful and wonderful people available to all of us. Thanks for telling your story.

Lynn, what a wonderful post. It wasn’t long ago when I was very nervous about getting on Twitter at all. Never in a million years would I have thought that it could be this powerful. You have done a better job at putting into words the power of Twitter (and Web 2.0 in general) than just about anyone else I have read. It’s one thing to say, “This is what Twitter can do for you.” It’s another thing altogether to say, “This is what Twitter has done for me.” That is powerful stuff.

You have given me some great people in this post that I want to follow. Thank you…. Thank you for this post and for the selfless way you help others, including me. It will all come back on you many times over.

Lynn-
This is a great article and is helping me to understand how to use Twitter. It’s still like an elusive lover but I’m hoping to understand Twitter better soon. Perhaps if I stop spending all my time with Facebook it will work itself out.

You’re awesome.

Lynn, I met you towards the end of last year on Twitter. I joined your Garden of the Soul group on Ning then, became a guest of yours and you a guest expert of mine on http://blogtalkradio.com/padaran. I am so happy I heard to contact you and that I listened. Your tweets and expertise are priceless and if people listen to your advice as well as follow it, they'll be in for a huge treat. Great job with sharing how Twitter changed your life. It certainly has changed mine in a big way too.

What a wonderful article about how twitter works for you. This is the first time I’ve actually seen someone write exactly what happened for you to have success with Twitter. Most things we read are about how to use twitter, and what you can tweet about, which is all very helpful.

However, your post is a “reality style” post, it’s all real life stuff, you’ve done it so well, just “telling it like it is”.

This is a wonderful article for those that doubt the power of social media.

With good planning and tasteful & gracious execution – social media can be a very, very powerful medium to promote an excellent product.

Lynn, you have set a fantastic standard in the execution of these campaigns and I, for one, appreciate the time and effort you put into them to help us, help you promote great books.

The thing that really stands out for me, apart from the success of the book launches, are the amazing connections that you have made and the friendships that develp as a result – that to me shows that social media and 140 characters go a lot further than just the keyboard and the screen.

Well done and congratulations Lynn.

As Shelagh of Spiritus noted above, your post really does offer a wealth of information about how to make Twitter work as a viral medium — by allowing you (and everyone) to tap into the cumulative strength that occurs when many like-minded people join hands to help one another.

Thank you for offering this information to all who will read it: it’s really invaluable as a roadmap of what’s possible with Twitter, in particular, and social media, in general.

I’m so glad to have played a small part in this living, growing enterprise you’ve nurtured, Lynn. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!

Lynn,

Your book reached number one because it is a really good book which was recognized by all the friends and colleagues who supported you in making it so. I am simply happy to have been a small part of it.

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial you just wrote that any smart marketer could take and model their own campaigns after.

I have been marketing my new book “Quirky marketing Calendar” on Twitter with some great results. It is an ebook so the medium is slightly different and of course may not appeal to as broad an audience as a print book, however it has been really holding its own. And March is Quirky marketing month so we are planning a new wave of campaigns!

Looking forward to having you be a part of our Writing Summit. You are a wealth of knowledge and experience and I am delighted you are going to share that wealth with my circle.

Keep doing what you are doing because you are AWESOME!
