I got 50 new followers in a few hours because of the #badtwittertips hashtag - they were all people who saw my tweets retweeted and responded or retweeted and then followed me.<br /><br />My standard advice to any twitter newbie is to not listen to any advice from someone who calls themself a "social media guru" or any similar term.Sarah Nicolashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006982668067292031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-36740702445861400452012-07-09T08:00:37.521-04:002012-07-09T08:00:37.521-04:00I agree.

I'd rather have followers who I can get to know and they in return can get to know me than a high number of spammers who only care about those figures.Traci Kenworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336373871521363649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-15062922809877131742012-07-09T03:14:16.037-04:002012-07-09T03:14:16.037-04:00I'm a blogger, so I hope it's okay I'm...I'm a blogger, so I hope it's okay I'm here. I reviewed Chanelle's book recently and we had fun (or I did anyway) emailing back and forth. I loved her book. But on the Twitter thing. I don't understand the big thing about having a lot of twitter followers. Bloggers are under that pressure if we want to get ARC's even from NetGalley. We have to show our stats. But what do the numbers mean? Nothing. I'm barely on twitter. And usually only to promote my post, giveaway or maybe to reply to someone.<br /><br />If you want to contact a blogger, just do it. We really are a very friendly group with some minor exceptions. The bigger bloggers I know are so friendly and so approachable. The only one I don't know is TSS. You're on your own there. But SS, BBW, TUR, BaT, CBB they are all very approachable.<br /><br />You can always tweet me and I'll introduce you if it's any of them.<br />@ImburiedinbooksBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-53790242394388805072012-07-08T18:31:28.313-04:002012-07-08T18:31:28.313-04:00The people I dislike the most on Twitter are the p...The people I dislike the most on Twitter are the people who tweet celebrities saying "OMG please RT me it will make my LIFE" or "Please please please follow me I'll love you forever." Ugh. I hate that. What saddens me though is that my best friend is one of them. While I would love to have my favorite celebrities, authors and even some bloggers to follow me, I think it's silly to act desperate to get their attention. <br />Thanks for this post. :Dlaboydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05951513684340495882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-15417804938309478542012-07-08T15:30:39.498-04:002012-07-08T15:30:39.498-04:00This is a great post.

I think all Tweeting people know those people who constantly ask for follows, or do such stuff like that. It's funny, but it is so true. A great post!SC Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382410035007943921noreply@blogger.com
