It’s July 22 which means it’s also Day 22 of the Five Minute Promo challenge. Before you get to today’s task, stop what you’re doing, head to the nearest window, and take a look outside (unless, of course, you already are outside, or have just been for a lovely morning walk before attending to your social media for the day).
You’re back? Good. Here’s the task.
5 Min Promo #22
Clouds building on my favourite beach: a good topic for a tweet.
Go to your Twitter account and compose and post a Tweet about the weather. You can be serious: Just looked out my window and it is raining.
Or Whiny:
Just looked outside and can’t believe it is raining. Again.
Or excited:
OMG!!! Can’t believe it’s actually raining.
Or just plain silly:
It’s raining cats and dogs. No wonder the mouse is hiding.
(Okay that wasn’t all that funny – am sure you can come up with something better).
Don’t forget to use a hashtag or two, and then you’re done.
How does talking about the weather promote your book? It doesn’t, directly (unless of course you’ve written a book about the weather), but it engages your followers, especially those who strongly agree or disagree with you, or who match your sense of humour. Talking about the weather is just as engaging online as it is off.
Go to it – five minutes to tweet, perhaps check what everyone else is tweeting about, and then head outside and enjoy that beautiful sunshine. Oh – I forgot: it’s raining.
See you tomorrow.
