I started using Twitter about a year ago while writing my book. At first, I didn’t like it. But now, I can’t get enough of this little tool.

Twitter became my outlet for bellyaching about the book writing process. Unbeknownst to me, my complaints on Twitter were being followed by others to the point that people started to ask me when the book would be released.

My twittering created anticipation and I credit Twitter for being one of the tools that helped me sell 900 copies of my book in the first 30 days without leaving the comforts of home.

What did I do with Twitter? Here’s a snapshot:

• I told people about my 24 hour marathon writing session as I tried to meet my publisher’s deadline.
• In another tweet, I complained that I was stuck writing content while it was nice and warm outside.
• In this tweet, I surmised about how I could generate 88% more content in 21-days.

I also used Facebook to update my status (that’s before I used the plugin to connect the 2 together) and I used my podcast to explain concepts and get feedback.

My advice? Complain about the process in your tweets. You will create a following quickly and subsequently, sell many books.
