So much of the internet now revolves around social media. This is true not just for personal relationships but for professional ones as well. Almost every business professional and Internet Marketer has professional accounts in each of the biggest social media portals (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). In some ways, Twitter is the simplest social media site to use and it has millions of members. In this article we are going to teach you some of the things you can do to build a good Twitter following. Additionally, we'll touch upon various ways to make the best possible impression on your followers.
Choose a short Twitter username. It's good to use your own name here, but if you have several different Twitter accounts (for different things of course) this might not be an option. Whatever you choose, don't make it long or complicated. You may not realize this, but having a short username actually helps when any of your tweets get retweeted. You should know that the longer your username, the less space you'll have for your tweet, as every character counts. Longer names are also harder to remember, which is another reason to keep them short. You don't have to keep it to four characters, but you want to keep it fewer than ten.
Create a customized Twitter background. There are lots of free tools and sites around online that can help you create your own Twitter background easily. You'll immediately stand out from the crowd and make your mark with a branded background. If you stick to the boring Twitter background they provide, this makes your business seem like you're not interested in standing out. People may assume that you're not serious about your business, or about your Twitter profile. You don't leave your WordPress theme as the generic one do you? So why do this with your Twitter account?
Remember to post tweets often. It's easy to get caught up in design and profiles and figuring out who to follow. But if you don't post any tweets, there's no reason for anyone to follow you. You'll be one of those accounts that looks pretty, shows that you are following a thousand people and still don't have any followers of your own because you aren't actually active. Yes, it can take a little time to get used to writing tweets, but once you get used to it, it's quick and easy.
Almost everything you tweet (direct messages are the exception) is public. Essentially, people can check your profile page and read your previous tweets, as well as see any @ replies you made in the past. So work hard to avoid letting your Twitter feed show only lots of sales hype. Focus on participating in conversations and find ways to offer useful information instead of trying so hard to focus on sales. If your feed is all about sales or marketing messages, people are more likely to avoid you instead of following you. There's no denying the impact Twitter has had on the internet. It has been around for years and every day it grows more and more. It's equally interesting and useful for social and marketing purposes. The key is to gain followers who are truly interested in the type of products you're selling. Use the tips we've talked about here to get started on that. You can then come up with tactics of your own to make Twitter a dynamic part of your business.
