Many of these tips are collected through various places,
Wired Magazine , Google Search, etc.
I will try to link back as much as I can.
Using Twitter can be a powerful Marketing Tool.
Allowing followers(clients) to feel as though they are with you every step of the day. Allowing them access to a small part of your business or lifestyle per say. Twitter also allows you access to additional visibility online, depending on your content(quality) and amount of tweets.
Tips to using Twitter.
First, I’ll start off with a few quotes from Wired Magazine that really caught my eye.
“If you want more people to follow you on Twitter, give your real name on your account profile. Not everyone knows you by your username.”
- Scott Beale
“Every single Twitter post you write should be able to get you laid, ruin a relationship, or bring a tear to a blind man’s eye. “
- Joshua Allen
“Don’t answer, ‘What are you doing?’ Be funny. Be brief, leave your lunch unpublished. Ditto your late plane, incomplete sentences.”
- Jason Kottke
“Twitter is a community. It’s not all about you. Engage your peers by asking them questions. You don’t have to actually read the answers.”
- Micki Krimmel
“Frequently linking to yourself from Twitter is a terrific way to highlight your skills as an unlovable marketing knob. Go easy on the spam.”
- Merlin Mann
“Don’t try to impress-just be yourself. But go a little beyond your comfort zone; share something you’re hesitant about sharing.”
- Evan Williams
