Everyone is a fan of something, and you can probably find it
on Twitter.
If you like to read about a specific thing, use a hashtag (#)
to search for it. For example, #crossstitch #Hobbit #scifi #recipes. In Twitter,
go to the search bar (upper right) and type one of those. Hit return, or click the
magnifying glass in the search bar. Tweets from anyone who used the term you searched
for will show up. Try it with almost any word (no spaces) and you will see the possibilities.

Media Fandoms
But there are other fandoms besides books. Let's talk TV for
a minute Do you follow any shows? These are all on Twitter.
Vampire Diaries #TVD https://twitter.com/cwtvd
Once Upon A Time #OnceUponATime https://twitter.com/OnceABC
The Flash #TheFlash https://twitter.com/CW_TheFlash
Supergirl #SuperGirl https://twitter.com/TheCWSupergirl

Meeting Fans
Pick a show or movie that fits the genre you write, and
begin following it. Retweet and share views. You will meet fans of the genre,
and end up with followers. The important thing about this is NEVER to use the
hashtag to promote your books. Think of fellow fans as online friends who are just
as real as friends you'd meet at a coffeeshop or while out shopping. Talk to
them and they will talk back. Don't try to sell them anything. Just be a tweep
(friend/peep on Twitter).
Fanart
Use the hashtag #fanart and
you'll be amazed at how many talented people there are out there. They love the
same TV and movies as you (or the same video games, etc.). These people have
like interests, and when you appreciate their art, they are more likely to
follow you. Want more? Follow this account. DeviantArt https://twitter.com/DeviantArt (they aren't deviant - it just means alternative).
Why is that important? Because they might end up being your fan. But you have to meet them
first, so get out there and be a fan!
