For months I was very reluctant to get involved with Twitter. Since the birth of macca09, my road trip with Chris McCormack things have changed. Slowly, I start to realize the power of Twitter, but I’m still an absolute beginner. For those who find themselves in a similar situation as I do I found an useful article on Pronet Advertising “How To Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time”
For those who don’t want to read the whole article here are the conclusions:
- Follow Twitter etiquette. For example you never want to spam (which I have done), you want to give credits when retweeting, and most importantly you want to stick with 140 characters (don’t create multiple tweets to get across a message).
- You want to join the conversation. Don’t just tweet what you want, then your profile never grows. The main reason for this is because you never joined the conversation and contributed to it.
- Make sure you are interesting on Twitter. If you want to tweet crap, that’s fine, but you will probably gain a lot more followers if you are interesting.
