If you have won the Pulitzer Prize or the Orange Prize for Fiction – by all means boast about it. Remember it gets reduced to a teeny weeny little picture in twitter feeds so it should be clear and crisp.ĭon’t use hashtags in your profile and go easy on the “award winning”, “bestselling” and “greatest of all time” accolades unless they really have a high value. Your photograph should be recent and a good portrait shot.

Good Twitter Picture, Good Twitter Profile If you get no benefit, or are not enjoying it, invest your energies elsewhere. So the suggestion to all indie authors is to give it a good try for three months. The thing with Twitter is some people get really into it and for others it is a chore. So that you can see JJ Toner's campaign in action, here's his Twitter handle: TWITTER TIPS: The quality of your writing and editing must both be high, and your books need to be priced and categorized correctly, but if you have these factors in place then a small investment in marketing might be just what you need. If you're looking for a promotional site that does an outstanding job of showcasing independently published novels, you might want to give BooksGoSocial a try. Switching off the twitter promotion by Laurence’s site for a month at a time had a similar effect, proving the value of that service. During that period, sales of my books declined. Switching my TweetAdder account proved tricky and I lost contact with Twitter for a couple of days.

In April I bought an Apple Mac to replace my old Windows PC. This Twitter activity may seem like overkill, but as Laurence points out, only a small fraction of Twitter followers will actually read any one tweet, and of these only a fraction will click the link provided and a fraction of those will actually buy a book. In addition to this advice, selected tweets are sent out daily to the 235,000 followers of his service.

This strategy was recommended by Laurence O’Bryan in November 2013 when I first signed up to his social networking support service BooksGoSocial. Having built up my Twitter following to 16k+ I use TweetAdder to schedule regular promotional tweets containing snippets from favourable reviews interspersed with notifications about World War II blogs that feature on my website. I use Facebook to announce launches and promotions and Twitter to maintain visibility. In addition, interest in DI Ben Jordan is experiencing a revival! Here's how I do it. So far, I have sold over 8,500 copies of The Black Orchestra and close to 3,000 copies of the sequel. The Black Orchestra was launched in January 2013 and The Wings of the Eagle 12 months later. I have four thrillers on Amazon, two that feature the Irish detective DI Ben Jordan and two spy stories set during WW2. I think everyone would agree that, once you have one or more well-written, well-edited and well-categorized eBook(s) for sale on Amazon, visibility is the name of the game. Irish indie author J J Toner shares the route he has found to raise the visibility and sales of his self-published thrillers via Twitter.
