Accolades Of A Twitter Retweet:
"I appreciate the retweet! One of my better pieces of work making its way through the WorldWideWeb, thanks to your help!" Said I.
Yes. Retweets. A necessary evil, I am finding as a newbie in Twitter. And, oh the formalities. It's an unwritten etiquette to personally thank all who follow you. And, of course, thank the ever-so-important retweeters.
But. Most of all, you MUST learn how to persuade the Promoter (retweeter) to BECOME the Purchaser! Oh yes! It's an art form! I was 'cajoled' by an author-caught off guard [deliberate??]-when she thanked me for my retweets and 'suggested' a download. Well now. I hesitated-but went to the Amazon link, nonetheless. After espying it a romance novel, [notmycupoftea] I greatfully exited the online superstore and returned to Twitter with 'the bad news'. I prefer erotica, I told her [whome?noway]. She immediately supplied me with a link of her entire body of work and a suggestion of one that would suite all my worldly desires! At $2.99, I buckled under the pressure. I have to give it to her: she definitely played me just right, because I'm the biggest cheapskate there is. I went from Promoter to Purchaser in a blink of an eye. Even shocked the hell out of me!
Nevermind, already. A tax write-off.
Alas! The secret of Twitter success-finally revealed.
Well. I'd better start practicing the inveigling process. Daylight's burning.
