Welcome to your first social media challenge!  We're going to keep it simple for you on this first task.  We want you to follow us on Twitter. 

1.   Go to www.twitter.com.

If you already have an account, great.  If not create an accout.

2.  Go to our Twitter page here:

http://twitter.com/infinitybooks

3.  Once you get to our Twitter page, just click on the big button that says "FOLLOW" and that is it!

Once you've followed us, we'll follow you.

Twitter is a wonderful social media tool to connect with other writers in your own genre.  If you write historical fiction, for example.  Find other writers in that genre and follow them.  Twitter is a great way to keep up with what is going on in the publishing community.

Sending out messages on Twitter is called "tweeting" and it limits your messages to 140 characters, so they should be short and direct.  We'll talk about "tweeting" tomorrow.

4.  For extra exposure, post your Twitter name in the comments section of this blog post. Here is an example:  @infinitybooks

Thanks for joining us!
