• 3 ways to make a link in Twitter
– @mention
– #Hashtag
– URL
• 140 characters is enough
– 9-second soundbyte
– Syllogisms
– Links to more content
– Haikus
8. Growing your Twitter audience
• Choose: Social strategy vs. Broadcast strategy
– Social: Follow & engage with your audience
• Follow
• Engage
• Recommend
• Repeat
– Broadcast: Not social, 1-way flow of information
• Exclusive content
• Trusted curation
9. Finding people to follow
• Directories
• Articles that recommend people to follow
• Keyword search
• Drilling down into Twitter lists and
followers/friends of relevant tweeters
• Follow/Unfollow tools (TweetSpinner.com)
10. Clean your list – Unfollow dead weight
• Twitter limits
– Until you have 2,000 followers, you can only follow
2,000
– Beyond that, you can follow 15% more than follow
you
• Purge followers to maintain room to grow
– People who don’t follow you back (unless they are
interesting)
– People who never retweet others
– People who SPAM, shills, etc.
