A bit over two weeks ago, I gave a presentation on blogging and social media for authors at Harvard Medical School’s CME Publishing Course. On Friday, I heard a fantastic story from a self-proclaimed “Twitter Resistant” aspiring author who had put my words into action immediately.<\/p>\n

Last Friday, Red Sox nutritionist (who also has a private practice) Tara Mardigan<\/a> shared that she felt overwhelmed at the idea of blogging and tweeting,<\/p>\n

“But if I need to do it to get a book deal, I will.”<\/p>\n

On the way home from the Harvard course, she stopped by the Mac store and asked a tech to set up a blog and twitter profile.<\/p>\n

In half an hour she had a new blog<\/a> on Tumblr and a twitter profile<\/a>. The Mac employee who helped her e-mailed a bunch of his Mac buddies across the country and 20 or so of them followed her on Twitter. She now has a modest 38 followers.<\/p>\n

In the past two weeks, Tara has sent out a handful of updates, sometimes pointing to an article she finds interesting and a few pointing to the three blog posts she’s posted. In two weeks, her twitter updates have brought her FOUR NEW CLIENTS. That’s in just two weeks of tweeting.<\/p>\n
