Sorry Twitter, But You May Thank Me Later!

I am always ready for a brainstorm. Call me at 866-a-web-guy.

Have you ever apologized for something that you have not yet done? That is what I am doing here, but at the same time, Twitter may thank me for it later.

I have tried to make it pretty clear to my readers that I recently wrote a book titled “Twitter for Business: Twitter for Friends”. The book is now ready for orders, and I do not plan to let anybody forget it.

So why am I apologizing?

I wrote a really useful book to help new and experienced Twitter users alike, so that should be a good thing, right? I guess you could say that I am apologizing for the self-promotion that some people may complain about. After all, it may seem pretty self-serving to repeatedly tweet about my book. Well, I am sorry, but I plan to do just that.

I plan to tweet it, blog it, and scream it from the top of my lungs for a few days. I can only hope that people will understand that while I am feverishly trying to get the word out that it is intended for the betterment of Twitter. I believe that when enough people read the book, it can have a great value to the Twitter community. Hopefully my many friends and followers on Twitter will forgive me, and thank me later!

I am asking for your help!

I know you may have better things to do than to help me promote a book, but I am asking for your help. If you will review the Introduction and the Table of Contents, I hope you will see this as a worthwhile effort.

Good News Manuel! It just became available on Amazon.com. It is so recent that they do not even have the picture or "Look Inside" ready yet. :-) http://tfbtff.com/mwJ4It

That is faster than the estimated shipping time, so great news. I will look forward to the feedback, and I hope it is also great news. A blog post from you would be an honor. :-)

Mark,

I received my copy today after just 4 days since my order was placed. I'll start reading it tonight and give you honest feedback. If it's ok, I would like to post a Topic on my blog regarding the release of your book.

Thank You so much for writing this book, I have been saying since my first day on Twitter that it is essential to possess a guide that would assist the lay-person, such as myself, through this Social Media labyrinth! Copious amounts of former Twitter users abandoned their accounts because of insufficient instruction, and lack of stimulation and entertainment. Certainly it was due to their inability of procuring an adequate number of kindred, amusing, informative and pleasurable followers and people following them. These users should purchase you book to revisit the wonderland called Twiterverse! I have been enlightened and bemused by the excerpts I have read from your web site and I am anxiously awaiting the book I purchased today! God bless

It should appear on Amazon this week. It is available now on Create Space, which is an amazon company.

Manuel Viloria

Thanks, Mark. I'll wait for your book to appear in Amazon. :-)

First, I must say that I am not seeking the largest audience, but rather an audience who can benefit. This includes those who enjoy ebooks.

In order to qualify your comments, you should perhaps try being an author or editor for a couple decades before you doubt my decision. One simple observation any writer or editor (electronic and print alike) could make is in how many more typographical errors they find when they print it out rather than reading on-screen. Even the author sees it more clearly when it is on paper. Try it and you will see that you read differently.

If you do not see the value of a book without batteries, you will likely miss a lot of great information. I am the author, and I have provided a lot of good information. The printed offering is my preference, and I made that decision.

The book also has 140 pages of information, without a single illustration. Some people like pretty pictures, but this is one you will have to read.

This may seem harsh for some people, but I like to say things how I see them. The book does *not* teach how to gain thousands of followers, or how to earn millions of dollars using Twitter either. ;-)

The real matter is that I do not mind missing an audience if the audience is not paying attention. I see Twitter the same way ... Why seek followers if they do not hear what you say?

In any case, I thank you for the comment, and I hope that you will continue to read my blogs here at aWebGuy.com and TFBTFF.com ... both are available in an e-format.

P.S. I hope that you will enjoy the book. You may order it here.

Then let me say sorry before I write my comment. I have doubt how much knowledge you bear about technology. Thinking why I doubt that? Reading your comment as the reason for not releasing the book as an ebook format. What are you saying goes against what agencies like new work times told about ebook. The new generation now likes more to read on screen. And since you're crying to get more people reading your book, it was a must for you to release the book on a PDF format in order to reach the largest audience. If you don't wanna distribute it for free, then sell it. Making an ebook doesn't mean you gotta give it for free.

I apologised once. Hope your success.

Mark Aaron Murnahan

Dusty: Thanks! I hope you will enjoy it. Let me know what you think. :-)

Manuel: I do not plan to release an ebook version. Ebooks are read differently, and generally not absorbed as much. I would not want that to happen to this book, because I believe it is worth a good old fashioned paper-flipping read.

The reason ebooks tend to not be as well absorbed is that people read them the way they read a Website ... scan-and-click. I want the reader's full attention, because I think the topic is worth it. :-)

Manuel Viloria

Do you have an ebook version? Thanks! :-)

Dusty Edwards

Placed my order this morning ;-) I look forward to reading and spreading the word my friend.
