Have You Checked Your Twitter Profile?
Thanks to the ease of changing a Twitter profile — the bio, the headshot, the header image and the background image — authors and other digital marketers should frequently revisit their Twitter profiles to keep these vibrant.
Award-winning author Bonnie Bartel Latino is one Twitter participant who does a great job of this. She frequently changes the attractive header image that appears behind her bio (see http://twitter.com/BonnieBLatino) and often changes her bio. Note that she uses the hashtag #sot (support our troops) that I also use — see http://twitter.com/ZimblerMiller
And, yes, the hashtags used in your Twitter bio are hot links. If you click on #sot you will go to a stream of tweets that also have #sot in them.
For my February 2014 monthly book marketing column for the blog of author Joylene Butler I wrote about tips for creating an effective Twitter profile. Click here to get to that post — and then scroll down until you get to the Twitter cartoon.

And thank you, Elaine, for stopping by and leaving this lovely comment!
Very helpful information, Phyllis; thanks for sharing it. I’ll pass it along to other writers as well.
George, glad to hear that you found the information useful. And thanks for passing this info along to other writers.
Glad to share it, Phyllis, as it’s such good information, & I think it is easily overlooked. What’s happening with your dystopian thriller these days?
George, thanks for asking about my dystopian thriller. I have put it aside for other projects but I’m going to start working on it again.
In fact, I just read an article in today’s Wall Street Journal about a complicated procedure not to pass on certain genes to children. I’m hoping to write a blog post here about this article as a step to returning to THE MOTHER SIEGE.
Oh, wonderful! I look forward to reading “The Mother Siege” again.
