Hi Anna,

Your experience with Twitter as a writer and blogger is the exact same as mine! I don’t notice a huge increase in page views….but I do like the interaction and information that Twitter offers.

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

This is a good post, thank you!

Since I started using Twitter, my page views haven’t increased too much. Maybe you need a certain number of followers before you start noticing results. A few people click on the links I post, but nobody leaves a comment and certainly nobody clicks on the ads.

But i think Twitter is good for writers for the reasons you listed.

Thanks for dropping in, Mary!

I enjoy Twitter, but really have to limit my time spent there. I can’t interact with Tweeple nearly as much as I’d like, because of my work.

Do you find that your blog page views are increasing because of Twitter?

I love twitter. It can definitely be a time drain if I let it, but I’ve made some of the best connections and know that I can always find great sources there. I love being able to connect with the writers who have inspired and taught me through their work as well.

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

As a “seasoned” Twitter writer (I’ve been tweeting for 2 whole months now), I must say it’s a double-edged sword. I could easily waste hours tweeting away – and following my tweeties’ tweets – but I need to schedule my Twitter time. It’s a perfect case of too much of a good thing being detrimental!

But, I love how Twitter reduces my isolation as a freelance writer. I definitely feel more supported, creative, and even productive as a writer now that the honeymoon phase is over

Tweet you later!

My concern with Twitter is what you referred to at the end of your article. It consumes a lot of the time you should be spending writing. I suppose if you are disciplined, you can make it work for you.
