The dos and donts of Twitter for novices
Jodi
Twitter is fast-growing and also a cheap and effective way to improve your business marketing campaign. So make sure you start as you mean to go on. Here we bring you a few dos and don’ts for becoming active on Twitter:
- Do make sure you upload a photo or logo on to your profile instead of relying on the default icon. It shows you are serious about Twitter and it lets other tweeters know a little bit about what you look like.
- Don’t leave your biography blank. Everyone who comes on to your Twitter site will want to know a little bit about who you are or what your business is about. Try to be interesting about who you are but keep it short, too.
- Do tweet. Quite often follow requests come from “Twits” who haven’t even tweeted once. This doesn’t make you look interesting or attractive and could easily result in people not bothering to follow you back.
- Do tweet about something topical, interesting, different or controversial. Or link to something that is interesting or informative. If your tweets appear to simply sell your products and so do not offer anything else in the way of interest or engagement than no-one will bother to follow you.
Don’t forget to keep on tweeting. People will be put off by Twits who do not have very much to say. Ensure you are tweeting regularly and engaging in a range of Twitter chats. The more you have to say of interest the more likely it is that people will want to follow you.
