Off topic: A cashier at Sam's Club here in the Detroit area today wished me "Merry Christmas." I was at once surprised and refreshed. Was this a rogue employee or an about-face company directive from Bentonville? After seemingly several years of company-driven politically correct vacant greetings of "happy holidays" and the like, are more retailers returning to the classic words of Merry Christmas?

Thanks! It works the same way with the media -- take the time to do the same things to connect with the journalists who are in a position to help move your book along and you'll enjoy positive results.

I have just recently started using twitter and I am loving the experience. Right now it feels like I am just scratching the surface of my twitter potential. Can anyone who is an aspiring artist of any sort, writer, musician, etc... afford to not be on twitter? I don't think so. Thanks again for the inspiration. J John thanks for the great post.

The amazing postscript to this post is that my Blog traffic has now increased ten fold thanks to Michael Hyatt Tweeting a link mentioning this post. The power of Twitter indeed! And I agree with all of you - the importance of brands like Thomas Nelson or Zappos "getting it" and reaching out to personally interact with a customer can win immeasurably positive "Word of Mouse" love in Social Media circles. (Look at this post, for example!) Thanks all for the comments so far.

I'm still a bit new to the Twitter game although can attest to the feeling of inclusion that I felt after recieving a reply from one of the many people from zappos on Twitter. Not only do they provide a great product and customer service, I know they are listening and responding to me. Thanks for sharing. Diane Really excellent post, John, and I agree wholeheartedly.

And I totally agree with your assessment on the power of social media platforms, like Twitter, to engage and connect with people in your area of interest, work, etc. Like you, because I followed and engaged with Bob Burg, co-author of "The Go-Giver" and national bestselling author, he responded to me with a personal DM. I was thrilled and now that book holds even more meaning for me! I believe I began following you because we both have a passion for multimedia storytelling! The power of Twitter, and social media in general, is opening up a whole new paradigm in the way we can connect with many we thought were out of reach! Great post, John!

I learn a lot from the agents, editors and writers themselves. At first I felt like a Peeping Tom, but feel more at ease joining in the conversations. This is a great post and look forward to similar contacts in my future. Hi,
This is my first year using twitter and I am enjoying the experience. I learn a lot from the agents, editors and writers themselves.

At first I felt like a Peeping Tom, but feel more at ease joining in the conversations.

This is a great post and look forward to similar contacts in my future.
