Take note of what people are saying! When someone asks a question, answer it! Start conversations and have a back and forth with people to keep your profile constantly updated and alive.
Excellent article. Twitter has hundreds of millions of users and is growing all the time. People think it's just a way to update what they're doing right now or for celebrities to promote themselves but it's has a lot of great applications for businesses. Ignore Twitter at your peril.
This article was great. I hope more people pay attention and tweet something more interesting besides a blatant marketing attempt. I don't like looking at a tweet feed that is mostly ads, but I LOVE little tidbits of cool info and links.
Good tips.
I'd also advise following this content rule of thumb: to boost your brand, influence, followers, impact, etc. you need to provide or add value.
Keys to this:
1. Be relevant - Tweet, share and respond to topics that further the conversation with which YOU want to be associated.
2. Be timely- Offer your comments, information, observations on matters that are current, meaningful and provided in time to add value to the conversation.
3. Be authentic - The ultimate rule of social. Phonies and posers are sorted out in short order, so be true to yourself, your brand, or however you define your purpose.
