Editor's Notes
- New content Update your status regularly. Your followers want to hear from you but be careful you don't overdo it. Actively engage other Twitterers. You aren't following these people for no reason. Respond to the tweets of those you are following. Ask and answer questions, provide helpful tips and congratulate their successes. Quick responses that may be pertinent to your purpose can be responded in the standard @username format. However, use this structure sparingly. Longer conversations or those that have little to do with your purpose should be carried on using the Direct Messages tool. Don`t get too addictive Schedule time to tweet. Add it to your planner and limit your time tweeting so you don't get carried away. It can be addictive!!!
- N ame – so you can be found and recognized; Your username should easily identify you. It can be your name or something that represents your brand. Your username will act both as your login and it will become a permanent fixture as your unique Twitter url. Picture - your real picture! – people want to know that you a real person Limit the number of “me too” posts you do in any given month to no more than three. Be original, in other words Do not follow everyone . You do not have to follow someone just because they followed you. If someone unfollows you, you do not have to unfollow them. If you unfollow someone, you shouldn’t feel bad. Again, Twitter is a conversation. If what I say bores you, please unfollow me. It’s not about me… Define your ideal audience . Effective Twitter use requires you to define an “audience.” Who is it you really want to communicate with? Is it people that live in your city? Is it people in your industry? Is it only your friends? Is it only potential customers/clients? Whatever it is, you need to define your audience and stick to it. If person X follows you and they aren’t in that audience…you should think twice before following them
