I love Twitter, in fact I love it so much that it’s one of those things that I have to make sure to keep in balance with the other things that have to be done to bring income into our home.

If you are not using it to make contact with people, you may want to give it a try as soon as possible, and if you are using it, I’d love to see how it is helping you in a comment.

It’s hard to imagine that there are some who may not know what Twitter is, but I’m sure there are, so here’s how to begin:

• Go to http://twitter.com and sign up for an account, use a username that fits with your “brand”.  For an author, it may be your name, or it may be the title of your latest book.
• Be sure, if possible, to use a picture of yourself, I like to see pictures of people, or their pets, or people with their pets, but that’s just a personal preference.  Your latest book cover may be another idea for a picture.
• Rather than my going on here, may I invite you to visit this link to a couple of posts I did on another blog about using Twitter with some tips.

After you get used to Twitter on the web, you may want to download an easy-to-use-and-install software called TweetDeck to manage your tweets…but first get used to what Twitter is all about, then TweetDeck will be a welcome tool, it really opened up Twitter to me in a new way, as you can see your tweets, replies, etc., in columns all at once…you’ll see what I mean when you get to that point in the journey.
