Top ten tips for Twitter users
Posted in Social Media
The key to success in Twitter lies as much in the peripheral data that builds up around the message as in the content itself.
Here are the Top Ten Tips to successfully use Twitter.
- Regular Postings: Be a contributor that your followers get to really know.
- Retweet: If you see Tweets posted by other users that you think your followers would like, then retweet them.
- Be Helpful: Answer a question, participate in a survey, or help solve a problem.
- Don’t Be A Follow CopyCat: Be selective in who you follow or your Twitter stream could fill up with junk.
- What to Tweet: Late breaking industry news, specials or sales, share other bargains.
- Comment: Participate in the community.
- Say Thank You: When someone takes the time to retweet one of your tweets.
- Be Personal: Every now and then show your human side with a creative thought or other statement.
- Post Pictures/Video: It’s easy to post short videos.
- Talk About More Than Yourself: No one will want to follow you if you’re one big commercial. Mix it up.
Social media is all about participating and listening to what others have to say. It’s all about creating and sharing information and becoming part of the community. If you approach Twitter in this fashion, you’ll not only have a lot more fun, but your followers will like and respect you – and if that doesn’t strengthen your brand, nothing will.
