To sign-up and post a profile. Setting up your profile Finding People to Tweet with: Twittiquette and some other helpful Twitter Twools 2.) The golden rule is ALWAYS follow back! 3.) Ways you can make Twitter useful
-Visit Twitter.com and click on the “Get Started – Join” button
in the middle. The rest is simple enough that I think you can
figure it out.
a. Choose a good picture. Something candid that portrays you in an engaging way.
b. Write an interesting bio that will capture attention in 160
characters. Example: Queen of the 3rd Screen, Twitterologist
and FeeBer who loves God, her dog Sissy, country music,
social gaming (Mafia Wars) & being of service to others!
c. Put your website address (if you have one, otherwise use
Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn)
d. Make sure “Protect My Updates” is NOT checked
e. Change the background from Twitter under setting designs.
Nothing says I don’t care more than the generic default twitter
background.
-Use http://search.twitter.com/advanced to locate people of
like interest
-Use http://www.twellow.com/ to find people to follow of
like interest
-Register with http://wefollow.com/ a directory of Twitter
users organized by interests. You can find people with similar
interests. Use the #hashtags that make the most sense for you.
I use #Tucson, #Arizona and #SocialMedia
-Use Twitter Karma to automatically unfollow those people
not following you back http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/
1.) First and foremost no one cares what you had for breakfast or
the last time you made a bowel movement! There is such a thing
as TMI. The Twitter experience is different for everyone. I won’t
assume that your followers want the same thing I give my
followers but with that said I think most people on Twitter want:
-cool links with entertaining or educational info
-interesting quotes from historic figures, movies etc
-something that is worth responding to
-things to Re-Tweet to their own followers
-build a relationship with you
Twitter has the 2,000 and 10%-of-followers limits. Newer
accounts cannot follow more than 2000 people until your follower
count gets up to about 1850. Once your account goes over 2000,
you can only follow 10% more than your follower’s number.
Example: If you have 2000 followers, you can follow 2200 people.
In order to grow your account you need to continuously unfollow
the people that are not following you back. I think it’s rude
to not return a follow! So to get past 2,000 followers,
unfollow those who don’t follow you – including
Ashton, Britney, Demi and Ellen.
Branding, getting feedback from clients, hiring people,
outsourcing jobs, directing traffic back to websites, emergency
news/weather updates/alerts, To-do list or Grocery list, business
management, company intranet, let customers know about
new products and services, take notes, event updates, find
prospects, provide live coverage, time management and
analysis-use as a detailed record of what you are doing
every day, set up meetings, voting and building
trust/relationships with other people.
4.) Re-Tweet and Re-Tweet again people love this. You should
constantly hold a mirror up to your customers to see what
they want. By RT’ing you are basically saying that you
appreciate and think what someone is saying is cool.
This only takes a few seconds a day but is a powerful
way to build relationship with followers!
5.) Twitter is GLOBAL and PUBLIC. Everyone who follows
you can see what you are saying. That means if you are
Twittering you will want to represent your
brand/product/service in the best way possible at all
times.
6.) HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO DEVOTE TO ALL THIS??
NONE if you hire me!
