Tweeting Updates on Twitter

Tweeting on Twitter can be very tricky and something you may find takes saying, just the right words. The character box only lets you write up to 140 characters…which isnt much room… to say what you need to say, so using this space takes cleverness to attrack attention. Just because the character box askes, “What are you doing?” doesnt mean that you have to actually state what your doing; it’s just a way of asking, what do you need to say?

Try not to send out tweets more than a few times a day. Why? Because doing so will cause your followers to loose interest in you and quickly click on the “unfollow” tab. Say what you need to say in the morning, keeping in mind that you just need to cleverly say what you need people to read. Then tweet again around mid day, and then in the evening; tweeting more than five times a day is really pushing it because some people view that as excessive tweeting or spam. You don’t want to loose your following, you want to grow it.

It’s perfectly fine to interact with your following and grow a rapport with them. Keep your tweets friendly and warm, but to the to point. Don’t ever get offensive if someone doesnt see something the way you do, just take it lightly. Remember that you don’t want to ever be offensive or brash yourself. Rule of thumb, tweet three times a day about what your niche is, then twice a day, just to say friendly hello’s or funny comments.

Re-tweeting another persons comment, is perfectly fine, if you think your followers might find it interesting. Type; “RT @Twitterusername tweet”. Many people will appreciate the gesture of sharing what they posted for others to see, especially if its for a product or service they are offering; these include freebies and gifts they’re giving away.

In Twitter world, it’s easy to get lost in translation. You don’t want for this to happen, so by clicking on @replies, you can view all the replies of something you posted previously to help you keep up with your following and reply back to them in a timely fashion. If you neglect to reply, you will loose your following because they will think that you just dont care and you only want to grow a hefty following, and while that might be true, you don’t want them getting that impression. Be smart and sociable, always try to reply back as quickly as possible.
