jballan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi all, I finished my book Titled Obsessed. It's about my journey with OCD and PTSD. My editor suggested starting a blog to get publicity and see if the topics in my book would be interesting for others. I did my first post today you can find it at http://janiceballanine.wordpress.com/ I don't have any followers yet, and would love the support if you get a chance to look at it and provide feedback. Most of the information will be about OCD, but the first topic was a simple life lesson I learned, Life doesn't wait for you. Thanks for the support! Link to comment
jballan Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I posted my first experiences with OCD. Want to share yours on my blog? Link to comment

PolarBear Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Absolutely you need a Twitter account. The world would stop spinning these days without Twitter. Besides, if you tweet about your book, legend can retweet it to about a half million people. Link to comment

PolarBear Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) How do you get Twitter followers? It starts slow and blossoms from there. Let your friends know so they can follow you. Then check out the OCD type people on Twitter. Follow some of them (like OCDUK and others). Start tweeting. Get your name out there. Retweet other people's tweets -- people like that and are more tempted to follow you. You get out of Twitter what you put into Twitter. Be active and the followers will come. Do a search on #OCD and #OCDproblems (I'm sure there are others) to see who is tweeting about OCD. Edited January 7, 2015 by PolarBear Link to comment

jballan Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) What do people tweet?! My thing is @janiceballan Edited January 7, 2015 by jballan Link to comment
PolarBear Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 What do people tweet?! Once you're on there, have a look at what other people tweet. Some of it won't make any sense because two or more people go back and forth about a particular subject. Much of it will make sense. To start, follow a few people and you'll see what they tweet on your home page. That will give you an idea. Link to comment
