If you are brand new on Twitter, without a friend in the world, you can now just seek out your Twibe #MyWANA and we will take you in and offer love, shelter and a tasty digital beverage. Your goals, thoughts, dreams, blogs and books will all remain top of mind and plugged in to your WANA family so we can help. With the addition of the #MyWANA column, this will allow you guys (and me) to gather on Twitter and help each other out and even get to know each other better. It is not a new way to spam our fellow tweeps. The hashtag is to help us meet and converse with others. When it comes to social media, we must interact and be vested in others, or we risk being perceived as fake and selfish.

Why I recommend you download TweetDeck is that you can slot each hastag into its own column and then follow the people and conversations. My Tweet now will not just go out to my specific followers, it will be seen by the THOUSANDS of people all over the world who might be participating in those three popular hashtag conversations.
Tweetdeck make columns wider how to#
Thus, when I tweet about my blog, often it looks like Want to know how to use Twitter to help build your platform? (link goes here) #writegoal #nanowrimo #pubtip That took a dark and unexpected nerdy twist. One # to rule them all and on the TweetDeck bind them. #writegoal (place daily writing goals and keep each other accountable), #amwriting, #pubtip, #indie, #bookmarket, #amediting, #nanowrimo, #agentīut the one to rule them all will be: #MyWANA … When you place a # with a keyword at the end of your tweet, Twitter slots your tweet into a conversation shared by people all over the world bound by topic (like #MyWANA).
Hashtags will help you meet people who love to talk about the same things you do. So, you are going to have to make some friends. Well, when you first join Twitter, you are all alone…save for the celebrities that Twitter gives you, but it isn’t like you and Lady Gaga are going to chit chat. And, now, for the first time ever, it will allow you to talk to your fellow WANA peeps, trade tips, read and promote each other’s blogs, trade recipes, gather resources for world domination using sea monkeys and an egg beater, whatever. What is a #? That little # symbol is going to help you build a worldwide following. You might find yourself asking, What the heck is that # thingy I see all the time? I don’t even know what a # does, so how on earth will a #MyWANA help?įirst of all, download TweetDeck (or a similar application). There is strength in numbers, and platforms are easier to construct if we have help.īut some of you might be scratching your head. Rather than individually searching for each other by name we can just follow anyone who pops up in the #MyWANA column. By joining all of us together with a common hashtag, this will make it far easier to locate each other. The #MyWANA column is the place where we all can gather and chat and have fun. I chose #MyWANA to keep it short, but the other unspoken word is #MyWANA Twibe, #MyWANA Community, or #MyWANA Pals or #MyWANA Peeps or #MyWANA Family. We can cross-promote and help and support each other.
We have an awesome network going here at the blog, and I think the addition of the #MyWANA might help making friends a bit easier. Some of you guys have been using WANA principles for a while and you are social media pros, with maybe some tips and insights you would love to share with your fellow WANA peeps. Others of you aren’t sure you want a blog and you might be watching and learning.
We are going to be your adoptive Internet family….your Twibe. The Internet can be a scary place if you are doing this by yourself. We all need love–writer love, blog love, or even just friend love. So what I would like to do is extend this little community we have here on the blog on to Twitter. I am launching the #MyWANA hashtag group so that all of us have a place to congregate beyond this blog and make it easier to spread the love. Not that I don’t still want to hear from you guys here in the comments, but I chose the title of my book for a reason. Today, I am letting you guys in on a cool new development. Welcome to WANA Wednesday, based off my best-selling book, We Are Not Alone-The Writer’s Guide to Social Media.
