Twitter Tips To Help A Newbies Following

You may already be using Twitter but are you using it as a business tool? If you are you are already ahead of the game. If you have not started yet it is not that hard, it is easy to join and guess what, it’s free.

All you basically have to do is go to Twitter.com and follow the prompts. You will be getting started before you know it. Okay once you have signed up be sure to upload a picture. That way people can see what you look like and you can start the process of branding yourself or a symbol or logo for for your company.

Now that you are on let’s go and add a bio to your profile. Check out what some of the other people’s bio look like and that will give you some ideas. Make sure you talk about your business interest and maybe put a touch of splash of humor into it.

Now that we have the proper stuff out of the way let’s get to tweeting. You can start by following a few people you know and who know you. That’s done by putting the @ sign in front of their Twitter name.

They will most likely see it in their “mentions” column, where their @name is located on the Twitter page. Oh don’t worry everyone will be checking to see if they are mentioned or if anyone is talking about them. Be sure to use the @ sign.

After you get a couple of tweets under your belt and you have followed a few people time to move on. Now it is time to throw out some retweets(RT), which you do by taking a tweet you find interesting and that others will enjoy and copying and pasting it with a RT and @twittername added to the front of it.

Every now and then throw in some quotes from yourself or others and throw in an article or two that you think might be interesting to others. Be sure to include the link. This is making you useful and your tweets will become valuable.

Now, let’s start following lots of people and most of the time they will follow you back. Why you might ask? Well, you want to get a targeted group following you and that you will follow back. Your targeted followers will be more likely to buy from you if you tweet to them occasional promos of your products or services.

Everything you have done up to now has been to make your Twitter profile attractive to others. When you go and follow them they are more than likely going to check out your Twitter page and see if you are worth following.

Something else you can do to attract more followers is to go to the page of well known internet marketers like, Joel Comm, Bob The Teacher, Mike Filsaime and others you would like to follow. Put their name in the search box and see what you find.

In the upper right hand corner of their Twitter page you will find their followers. Click on that and you will get a look at all of their followers listed. These are probably people you will also want to follow. When you follow these people more than likely they will follow you back. Click on a few to start and come back often for more.

If you hover your cursor over their name and you will see their bio. If their bio looks like it is part of your field or niche you will want to follow them. Click the follow button and you have a new person to follow. You can always click on their name and check out their Twitter page to be sure.

Twitter has this rule about a limit on the number of people you follow. They limit it to 1000 new people per day so don’t try increase to fast. It would look to suspicious to Twitter if you had 2000 people you are following and have tweeted less than 10 times.
