To Tweet or Not to Tweet

Ok so I've been having this back and forth debate with myself about whether or not I should start using Twitter in order to help build a following for my blog. I see others using it both effectively and ineffectively, so I decided to do a little research to help me make a decision.

I finally made the decision to set up a Twitter account and see how things go. If nothing else, it will allow me to network with other bloggers who may be great resources to help me build my blog. Hopefully this will also help to promote my blog and build my readership.

Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ssuncensored or use the link on the right sidebar.

  1. I think Twitter is a good idea to let more people know about your blog. There are lots of websites out there that tell how to effectively use Twitter with your blog. Good luck with it.

  4. Hi:

    I find Twitter is what you want it to be; I've found several great sources just from reading the Tweets that I'm following. Not sure I've ever had it work in reverse, but you may be different :)

    Great blog. Found you through TwitterMoms.

  5. Thanks everyone. Just between me putting up this post and now, I have two new blog followers, two new friends on Twittermoms, and five new followers on Twitter, so it's definitely working out so far. Not to mention how many great blogs I've found for me to follow.

    @Anisha I started following your blog and had to go back and read some of your older posts. Your 3 yr old is hilarious!!

    @Free2bmommy I'll tell you every chance I get how much I love your blog. Monkey and Bean just show me all the things I have to look forward to when Peanut gets here.

    @Sandie Thanks for commenting on my blog. I think you're next in line on my massive list of blogs to read and follow. Twittermoms is the best thing ever.
