“Everything we post, comment on,
or upload is contributing to the story of
who we are online – potentially to millions.
And even if you don’t make a conscious
effort to create an online presence, that
too is a narrative because you are leaving
your personal brand to chance.”
Marcos Salazar on August 13th, 2009

http://mashable.com/2009/08/05/twitter-guide-book-download/
Start by searching for people
& topic areas of interest
Add Twitter to Your Blog
25
Drag Twitter to the sidebar
Tweeting: Intent
• You can’t / won’t read every tweet
• Follow those that follow you
• Promote others more than yourself (roughly 12 times)
• Build lists to watch people you’re interested in
• Retweet the “good stuff” (RT@.....)
• Manage your time!
• Do it your way: everyone has their own style
26
Adapted from: Chris Brogan
http://www.chrisbrogan.com/50-power-twitter-tips/
Tweeting: Technical
Leave some space for others
to retweet you
Use @ to retweet other
Use Tweetdeck or
Hootsuite
Link things when
appropriate
Tools like http://bit.ly
shorten links and let you
see stats
Use hashtags but make
them small
27
Adapted from Chris Brogan
http://www.chrisbrogan.com/50-power-twitter-tips/
Tweeting: Business
Spamming repeatedly will lead to drops
Search more than you chat about your own stuff
Find the people who would like what you have to offer
Don’t retweet others nice words about you
Indicate if you link an affiliate or client (in parentheses)
Invite customers to follow you on twitter
Use it for more personalized marketing not just BLASTS
28
Adapted from Chris Brogan
http://www.chrisbrogan.com/50-power-twitter-tips/
Twitter: Use
Tweet your blog posts with a question to draw people in
Tweet contents of events
Make connections with speakers from events
Invite twitter followers to other social platforms (LinkedIn or
Facebook)
Have others tweet your blog posts, but know that it can seem
like spam
Point to photos, music, videos for diversity and fun!
