I've always been a big fan of twitter. Every message is short. It's easy to keep up with other writers' news. I've had good luck promoting my books there. But I did a little experiment a while ago and put a book on sale for 99 cents, put up several posts about it, and got NOTHING. I might as well have eaten bonbons and watched TV.
I recently finished a new book in a new series, and I thought I'd get a good start for it on Twitter. And I've gotten some likes and retweets, but nothing like I used to get. I looked at my analytics, and they're sorry. How many people left Twitter after Elon Musk bought it? And where did they go?
Are other writers feeling the pinch? Do you have the same responses on twitter that you once had?
A friend told me to try spoutible, but I signed up there and could hardly find any other mystery writers. I know some authors went to Facebook, but I'm not a big fan of it. I never know who sees what I post and who doesn't. Which leaves me with the question, how do I connect with fellow writers and readers now?
I loved twitter. Now, I'm not sure how many people are still there. Any feedback?
