@DavidSpinks If you're not seeing results,
it's probably not twitter's fault, it's how
you're using it. That's ok. Reevaluate why
you're there and apply.
#1

@calamity7373 Create a dialogue
with your followers, don't just push
promotions about your brand in their
face.
#3

Twitter about how you’re promoting
your business, or how you’re getting
paid, give followers something they
can use! @DunnMich
#4

Don't just talk about your product,
talk about your area of expertise. And
the key talk - have a dialog with your
customers or potential customers.
#6
#5

Be the first to share. Get an RSS feed
of topical news for your industry and
post a link as soon as breaking news
hits the search engines.
#6

@UTFCU - From reports I've seen,
we're the first credit union to use
Twitter. We promote rates, products,
special events.
#7

Have you written a lot? Tweet the
titles of all articles you have written,
and each URL, so your followers can
easily find them - @BeerFoxTM
#8

Twitter is a conversation. Take some
time to listen to what is going on and
respond, don't just talk at people.
@virtualewit
#9

From @hatmandu: don't just use
auto-follow tools to spam legions of
people - instead, create individual
conversations
#10

Use Twitter as way to grow your
networks on other social media
channels. It can be the hub of your
social media wheel, each channel a
spoke
#11

Marketing is about promoting what
your expertise is & how that is
advantageous to someone else. Now
get to tweeting that!
#12

Twitter is not a scripted dialog. It is an
open conversation between you, your
followers and your potential
followers. @followthecolson
#13

We all got to learn somehow! Just so
much to learn, and so many followers.
#15
#14

If someone you know has good news
(e.g., been promoted), but is too
modest to Tweet about it, you might
consider Tweeting about it yourself.
@appellatelaw
#15

@bradjward - Don't get caught up in
the numbers game. 100 relevant
followers on Twitter is worth more
than 1000 followers any day of the
week.

tweet) it not only helps you stay

hate you for it but at least it's you.

#20

@sarahebuckner: It drives me crazy when people don't
post for a few hours, then post 9 times in a row. If they

post links and post quotes!! Make
sure you carry on conversations so
others know a little about you.
#22

the front of a roller coaster. Every
moment thrills and scares.
#23
#23

@watsonk2 - Tweet 80% content your
readers will find helpful and 20% self
promotion. A good mix will get you
farther than 100% promotion.
#24
#24

@Arsene333: Before you click send
ask yourself "Would I follow this
person solely based on this one
tweet?" If yes, clink send.
#25
#25

Find the perfect balance between the
quantity of your tweet versus the
quality.
#26
#26

Make sure you're able to talk to the
people who follow you. Make sure
your on when their own, and free to
chat.

that you have to pick a content niche.
Apply that to Twitter.

people who took time to mention you,
follow you, and/or DM you.

place to clarify your vision, mission &

interesting characters are rounded,
not flat or static. So be well rounded
(or appear to be).

First- Get followers. Second- Keep
followers. Sounds easy right? It's
actually not. It takes patience and
hard work.
#32
#32

@Arsene333: Think of Twitter as your
own public relations campaign.
#33

You are the brand!!! Nothing else.
You're selling yourself as a person,
your company and showing that you
are worthy of being followed.
#34
#34

Be human. Don’t be the person who
only talks about their product/service.
Interact w/ peoplel (RT, DM, etc) on a
personal level.

as the go to page for a topic, and as a
reliable source for information on that
topic.
