2. Infuse personality into your
profile
 People trust people, not default profile images.
Use a real picture of yourself and infuse your
unique personality into your bio. This
generates interest and encourages people to
not only follow you but relate to your passions
and keep an eye on your tweets. It all leads to
more retweets.

3. Be open to new connections
 Start following the people as well as Follow
people back. This allows them to connect with
you personally through DMs. And you expand
your social network. I've made many
invaluable contacts just because I was open to
new connections.

4. Connect people
 Be a connector, in real life and on social
networks. When you connect people with
each other, your followers take notice and
your credibility goes up. People are more
likely to engage with you.

5. Be generous, promote others
 Make sure you retweet your
most passionate followers. Thank them and
link to their social properties. #FF and
#Recommend others and their work.

6. Share Content That Your
Audience Will Love
 This means that you share not only your
content or blog, but you share others as
well. By doing this you get more people
engaged in your twitter feeds and as a
result more people will click on your blog
as well.

7. Ask and answer questions
 Asking your followers a question is the
best way to engage them (and get some
valuable information in the process.). But if
you want your followers to engage with
you, you need to engage with them.
Answer their questions, share your
knowledge, participate. Also consider
engaging in chats. Twitter becomes more
beneficial to you when you provide value to
others.

8. Acknowledge the source
 Always, always acknowledge people who
shared the information with you, even if they
shared it through other channels. If that person
has a Twitter handle, credit them as a source ,

9. Use of Pictures ,Graphics etc
 When we use pictures, cartoons & graphics or
data ,tweet become more attractive & attract
more RTs & followers ,
@ShaileshTewarie 28Feb2015

10. Mention /Tagging
 "@username“ used to mention a particular
handle ,by this you can inform some1 about
your tweet ,the chances of RTs will be high in
this case ,
 Similarly if you are using a picture/graphics
you can tag it to 10 people without effecting
your 140 Character limit ,

11. Hashtag tweets #SabkaBudget
 Most users add hashtags onto their tweets
without actually thinking about why they do it.
Hashtags are supposed to signify that you're
talking about a particular topic or event so in
that case, only one hashtag is necessary in a
tweet, and two at most. Any more than that
and it's overkill.

12. Do use Groups or Lists and
specialized Twitter tools to manage
your tweets
 Let’s be honest here, if you’re following more
than 25 people you can’t catch everything that
everyone says. To help filter your tweets
appropriately, use Groups or Lists to
categorize the people you follow into like
groupings (e.g., friends, publications, must-
reads, people that make me think, etc.). You
can then use TweetDeck or other similar tools
to track and read tweets in related groups.

13. Don’t send twam (aka Twitter
spam).
 We all get enough spam in our inboxes – so
please don’t send me tweets that are self-
promotional, commercial junk, Similarly
Mentioning ,Tagging Similar tweet to multiple
person are Treated as Spam,
@ShaileshTewarie 28Feb2015

14. Do be nice. Don’t be abusive
 Do be nice. it doesn’t matter if it’s in person, in
print or online. Be nice all the time because
everyone is connected to everyone on the
Web. Don’t be abusive .
 Don’t use capital letters its also treated as
Abuse in tweet world

15. Remember…………
 “I can do whatever I want as long as I don’t offend someone.
My right to freedom of expression ends when the rights of the
other person begin.”
