21 Platform Building Insights from Authors + Experts Who Excel At It _ YourWriterPlatform.com

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a magic potion you could drink, a stunt you could perform or even a test you could take that would automagically take you from obscurity to popularity in one painless step?

The second thing you need to know about Twitter– your readers, your clients, your audience is already on Twitter.
