![]() ![]() I’d love to, but I don’t see any way of managing that. Now it wouldn’t be humanly possible for me to retweet something from each of them, unfortunately. Yesterday, I received approximately 400 new followers. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about: I’m a firm believer in the saying “a rising tide lifts all boats.”īut many of you are making it extremely difficult for me to help you. It costs me nothing to hit the “Retweet” button once, and the potential benefit to the person I’m re-tweeting (and myself at some future point in time) is quite large. And if they launch a book, or have a special offer, I’d like to spread the word and let my followers decide for themselves whether they want to buy.
