Many freelance writers and book authors are active on Twitter. However, a lot of them don’t use the optimal techniques necessary to take full advantage of the social network.

Jennifer Mattern, the creator of this infographic, is an experienced freelance writer and book author, and she’s also the brains behind the top-notch site AllIndieWriters.com. The infographic is targeted specifically at authors, but the techniques apply equally well to freelance writing. Just substitute your writing services for the book info.

Thanks for the reminder of Jenn’s infographic… super.
She has a knack for explaining things clearly and succinctly.
Thanks for sharing John! I’m looking forward to seeing your tips for the various social platforms. 🙂
Jenn, you did a great job creating this infographic. I really like good infographics like yours, but they are unfortunately quite rare.
We’re in a similar social media state of mind, John. 😉 I look forward to your posts from the freelance writer perspective.
I have several posts on social media outlined and partially written. I’ll publish them over the next few months.
Can’t agree more with this. It is always about quality and being social. Of course it very much depends on the niche and followers, as well as the purpose of using twitter. Though, I think this 10 rules should be followed strictly.
Hi John,
Of course these tips make sense for most of us, unfortunately, not for everyone still. So, it’s worth spreading the word.
Twitter is a great social platform to get our offers in the sight of the target audience. The major point of concern in twitter today is the spamming and self promotion.
You see many re-tweet and reposting screaming on the screen. Are we all free from this? I think no but a reasonable level of refrain should be maintained.
Thanks for sharing
