Twitter Tweet Sheet by Forward Marketing's Tom King

TWITTER TWEET SHEET SIGN UP Pick an account name that is consistent with your brand name, easy to remember, and avoids possible intellectual property conflicts. If you want to pick a consistent name across all your accounts, check out the KnowEm.com service for free researching and easy registration.  http://twitter.com/forwardm SETUP Use a custom icon in the “Profile” area that is 48x48 pixels for your profile image and a custom background in the “Design” area this is 1920 x 1080. This way it will stretch out all the way even on large displays. The “Profile” area is also important for SEO benfits (linking, ranking, search). PUBLIC V. PRIVATE Twitter is a great inbound marketing tool with which to help outsiders bond with and follow your brand. However, Twitter can also be a great internal communications tool if you “Protect my tweets” making them private only to approved viewers. CONNECTIONS This is where you can connect Twitter with Google Buzz, Facebook, Digsby, YouTube or other applicstions. Helpful to “cross pollenate” your social media accounts. WINDOWS A great utility for managing all the input and output from social media accounts (including Twitter and Facebook) is Digsby. See http://www.digsby.com. Another popular tool to stay uptodate is TweetDeck, which works with multiple Twitter accounts. CHROME BROWSER If you use the Google Chrome Browser, a great Chrome Extension is (a) Chrome Notepad in which to compose your 140 character message; (b) Goo.gl Shortners + Share on Twitter or Bit.ly; and (c) Twitter Extender which adds extra features into Twitter itself. Similar Add-ons are available for Mozilla Firefox. www.ForwardM.com 713-449-2000 tk@forwardm.com
