And given the ever growing popularity of digital books, authors would be wise to tap into this market of online readers.<\/p>\n<p>As I stated in my post last week, Twitter is one form of social media that I use. I really would not have use for it if I wasn&#8217;t an author and didn&#8217;t run The Season site and blog. As it is, I don&#8217;t think I would have as many visitors to my sites if not for Twitter. Twitter and sites like Facebook and Goodreads have help spread the word and for that I&#8217;m very happy.<\/p>\n<p>But for some of these social media platforms there definitely seems to be a sense that the power rests in the tweets of that person being followed. And the more followers you have the more popular you are because people want to follow you, right? And the less people you follow and the more followers you have make you even more popular. The thought&#8211;and reality&#8211;is that you must be worth following if you have all these followers following you and you&#8217;re not even following them back. You might not want to see what they have to say but they want to see your tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Ashton Kutcher has more than one million followers&#8211;or so I&#8217;ve heard. Does anyone expect Ashton to follow all his followers. No, that&#8217;s kind of absurd, right? If Ashton follows more people do you think that will compel them to go see his movies? Nobody knows right? But Ashton is super well known and is extremely high profile. He&#8217;s a different kettle of fish. Now for authors, bloggers, artists trying to grow their following, I see following someone back just a smart thing to do marketing wise and here is why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Followees are more likely to retweet the tweets you most want retweeted. Got a new book out? Here I&#8217;ll retweet it for you because it makes me feel important that you&#8217;re following me.<\/li>\n<li>Word of mouth. It can help to sell a decent number of goods or send visitors to your site. Do you think you have enough? Could you stand to have more? LOL. EVERYONE wants more readers, visitors, clients.<\/li>\n<li>It evens the sense that there is a power hierarchy and that followers not being followed are on the bottom. No one likes to feel that they&#8217;re not important.<\/li>\n<li>You can catch more flies with honey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So do I mean that everyone should go out and follow every spammer that&#8217;s following them? No, of course not. What I am saying if the sense of being followed and not following gives you a sense of power, I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re using Twitter to its full potential. If you can get x amount of followers and you&#8217;re<em> not<\/em> following that many people in return, imagine how many followers you could get if you were. And when is that last time you went looking for followers? I&#8217;m sure there are many people in the Twitterverse who don&#8217;t know you, don&#8217;t know your work and are in your target audience.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook used to have fan pages. Some people don&#8217;t want to be fans&#8211;even if they like your work. Being a fan to many, connotes overzealous people whose name might be Annie Wilkes (<strong>Misery <\/strong>&#8211; <strong><em>Stephen King<\/em><\/strong>) who tie you to the bed and chop off your foot! Many of us don&#8217;t want to be associated with people like <em>that<\/em>. Now Facebook has the <strong><em>Like<\/em><\/strong> button. So much more innocuous don&#8217;t you think. I assume they found many more people are likely to <strong>Like<\/strong> you than be your <strong>Fan<\/strong>. I bet you I know what else they discovered. They found people have egos&#8211;some of which are very fragile and that good marketing means you sometimes need to appeal to that ego. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>**Twitter etiquette &#8211; Reply to a tweeter when they ask a question or reply to your tweet with something that requires a response. <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>So that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve learned in the last several months. What about you Twitter users, do you want to be followed back when you follow someone, or doesn&#8217;t it matter to you?
