- Starting to Twit
- Create a brief but interesting profile free of a sales pitch
- Upload a real photo to your profile
- A real photo is far better than a cartoon or logo
- Add your website or blog to your profile
- Letting people know where to find you is fine, but stuffing your site down their throats will alienate you fast.
- Add just one link to your site in your profile.
- Before you start marketing yourself, get ahead and write out 10-15 messages or Tweets.
- Start off by communicating about yourself or joining the conversation
- Follow people who catch your interest and respond to their tweets whenever relevant.
- Don't just pitch your website, but actually discuss your interests, hobbies and ideas
- For every one promotional tweet, you should have at least 10 conversational tweets.
- If you think that a series of promotional pitches will drive you traffic, you are wrong.
- Remember, Twitter isn't about selling, it is about building relationships and entering into the conversation that's already happening.
- Use a desktop or mobile version of Twitter.
- Once you get comfortable with how Twitter works, use desktop or mobile phone applications to keep up.
- Know when others are talking about you.
- To keep track of the conversation, there are a number of tools that will alert you when someone tweets about you, your keywords, or your website.
- Start or join the conversation.
- It's easy to find something to tweet about, just ask questions, answer other people's questions, or join conversations that are already going on
- Limit your time.
- Twitter may be addictive, but don't let it waste your day.
- How to get followers
- Follow to get followed, but take it easy.
- Don't follow 500 people a day
- Provide value, share interesting stuff, give relevant information.
- If you read something interesting on the web, share the link
- Fill in your bio and picture
- Write something about yourself and add a picture, preferably one that shows you
- Create a blog or a website.
- In addition to filling in your bio, a link to your blog will provide more information about you
- Re-tweet whatever you find valuable and reply to your followers
- Participate in a Twitter party
- Share your Twitter username on your social networks, on the forums and blogs, get listed in Twitter directories.
- Be you and be original
- A good opinion on something will get retweeted or replied to and will expose your profile.
- Also, personalize your profile, change colors and background.
- Tweet regularly
- If people see your profile was last updated 1 week ago, they will probably not follow you.
- Finally, balance all of the above.
- If all you do is talk about yourself and what you do or if you only promote your product all the time, people will get tired of you.
- Good idea is to post 1-2 out of 10 messages about you and the rest to provide value to your followers
