140 Twitter Marketing Tips for 2013

#1 @DavidSpinks If youre not seeing results, its probably not twitters fault, its how youre using it. Thats ok. Reevaluate why youre there and apply.

#2 @divinewrite Help people.

#3 @calamity7373 Create a dialogue with your followers, dont just push promotions about your brand in their face.

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

#5#6 Dont 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 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.

#7 @UTFCU - From reports Ive seen, were the first credit union to use Twitter. We promote rates, products, special events.

#8 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

#9 Twitter is a conversation. Take some time to listen to what is going on and respond, dont just talk at people. @virtualewit

#10 From @hatmandu: dont just use auto-follow tools to spam legions of people - instead, create individual conversations

#11 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

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

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

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

#15 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

#16#17 @bradjward - Dont get caught up in the numbers game. 100 relevant followers on Twitter is worth more than 1000 followers any day of the week.

#17#18 @makingcjc - learn how to RT (retweet) it not only helps you stay active, but lets people know what your interested in.

#18#19 "Retweet" is a powerful tool on Twitter; helps to build your brand, following, trust & seen as an expert in your field - @mayhemstudios

#19 Twitter is as good as the people you follow - @lookwebdesign

#20#3 @mooshinindy - Be yourself on twitter. People will either love you or hate you for it but at least its you.

#21 @sarahebuckner: It drives me crazy when people dont post for a few hours, then post 9 times in a row. If they do that a lot, I unfollow.

#22 @KristieKreation - Dont just retweet, post links and post quotes!! Make sure you carry on conversations so others know a little about you.

#23#23 @TimPiazza: When you trend, trying to follow your brand is like riding in the front of a roller coaster. Every moment thrills and scares.

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

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

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

#27#27 Make sure youre able to talk to the people who follow you. Make sure your on when their own, and free to chat.

#28#28 If business has taught you anything is that you have to pick a content niche. Apply that to Twitter.

#29#29 DONT BE STUCK UP! Talk to the people who took time to mention you, follow you, and/or DM you.

#30#30 @SandyDfromNJ - Twitter is a great place to clarify your vision, mission & message. Are you being Re-Tweeted?

#31#31 Like in Shakespeare the more interesting characters are rounded, not flat or static. So be well rounded (or appear to be).

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

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

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

#35#35 Be human. Don’t be the person who only talks about their product/service. Interact w/ peoplel (RT, DM, etc) on a personal level.

#36#36 Dont be all over the place. Be known as the go to page for a topic, and as a reliable source for information on that topic.

#38#38 Twitter can be a powerful tool for customer service. Listen, monitor and respond.
