That's part of the game, but it can be time consuming, especially since when I retweet I like to retweet something about that particular person's book or art, etc., and not something that person retweeted about someone else.Morgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-71102525507983029542014-08-05T19:50:12.870-06:002014-08-05T19:50:12.870-06:00A little at a time.

I used #henlit for my novelette and got a few people interested that way. I do try to remember to use hashtags and labels for everything. I find it easier to find things I'm interested in, too.

I find myself being chummy more often on Facebook, rather than Twitter. One exception is if I'm watching a country music awards who or Academy Awards, or something similar. Then, I like to comment on the clothes, the winners, and other fun things and see the other comments.Morgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-19709612450809606602014-08-05T14:42:42.890-06:002014-08-05T14:42:42.890-06:00I've seen #KindleU, but haven't seen #KU. ...I've seen #KindleU, but haven't seen #KU.

I don't mind promo tweets every so often, but daily with 2+ hashtags, it all looks spammy to me. The writers whose books I've bought from a twitter connection were through reading their writing advice or personal commentary etc rather than direct promo. Something to consider in a flooded superhighway of promo that twitter often becomes.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-74717632403327539442014-08-05T08:07:05.791-06:002014-08-05T08:07:05.791-06:00Also, for reaching readers I've used #amreadin...Also, for reaching readers I've used #amreading and #readingMaryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-9758903053838184992014-08-05T08:06:11.871-06:002014-08-05T08:06:11.871-06:00Morgan, one of the hashtags I've seen for Kind...Morgan, one of the hashtags I've seen for Kindle Unlimited is #KindleU and I think another is #KU.
