If used correctly Twitter is a GREAT way to find potential clients and fans. I believe Twitter is one of the most powerful social sites out there. Here are 10 tips on how to work twitter to YOUR advantage.
1 Follow the Followers of people that are like you - This is key. For example if you are a cheese company - follow the followers of other cheese company's or any twitter account that has anything to do with cheese. These micro niche followers will be more responsive to what you are tweeting about. Go Try it if you like Type in some people/companies that are like you in your twitter search engine and start following their followers.
2 When first opening an account make your tweets fun - tweet jokes, quotes and facts etc DO NOT SPAM - Be creative try to relate this information to what YOU are about.
3 Also once you get a bunch of followers be sure to keep your tweets fun and entertaining. If you spam them a lot they will quickly unfollow you. Yes there is nothing wrong with sometimes tweeting call of action tweets - A call to action for example would be tweeting "check my site out" but try to do it creatively - for example this post. Instead of me writing check out my blog post I would write Here are some tips and tricks on how to build your twitter followers check it out today then I'd put a link to this post.
4 Use sites like yesfollow, twitter karma and Twellow - They will make life a lot easier for you
5 Be sure to add your URL to your profile. People will check out your website if they like what you are tweeting about.
6 Check your @Mentions Tab often. When people RETWEET you - Retweet them back and reply with a thank you - Try interacting as much as possible
7 BE SOCIAL - When people write to you write back. I realize how time consuming social sites can be. It's best to work them on a social level on break times or when you are more relaxed. BUT try to Tweet at least 3-5 times a day at different times. Also if you can use sites to trigger your tweets it will make your life a lot easier . I will have a blog post all about sites that can help you control your social sites.
8 Try to check out your followers at least once a day and follow the followers that are in your niche or are real people. I try not to follow spammers or company's that have nothing to do with what I'm doing - They are usually there to spam and they usually don't have any interest in what you are talking about.
9 Use hash symbols # to find people in your niche. For example if you are a company that sells cheese. put #cheese in your twitter search engine and the people that put #cheese in there comments will pop up - Then if you are a cheese company follow those people. These people are gold to the cheese industry- Be sure to read what they wrote before you follow them - They could also be cheese haters lol Try it with your Niche - This can be addictive and a lot of fun
