This is because you have to make an impact on your potential followers by tweeting a great deal. But there are some habits that you can cultivate to make sure your time is spent productively. You should make sure that your tweets are amusing and should entice potential fans to get your book. You should also be polite and try to engage your followers as much as possible.
All in all using social media is a highly effective way to advertise your book. Just remember that no matter which form of social media you choose, your success depends on how much time and effort you put into it.
