Not every tool is meant for every author, and not every tool is out there with the sole purpose of generating sales. Social Media tools, such as Twitter and Facebook, when used effectively, are about reaching people who you may not have otherwise had exposure or access to. They are about communicating in a unique way with your prospective audience, in a way that benefits both users. This is not an uncommon sentiment Author Source hears from some of our new clients.

Consequently, I have seen no benefit from using Twitter.
