When it comes to social media, no one "gets it" as
well as Twitter. According to Econsultancy, as of Jan 2010,
Twitter has 75 million user accounts, with about 15 million
of that total being active users. See "20+ Mind-Blowing
Media Statistics Revisited". Social media statistics
Regular Postings: Now I'm not saying you need to post
every day, although that would be nice. You do need
to make an appearance on a regular basis.
It's like school - you need to show up to pass.
Retweet: If you see Tweets posted by other users that
you think your followers would like, then retweet them.
It only takes one click, and you'll also be creating goodwill
with other Twitter users at the same time.
Be Helpful: Keep in mind Twitter is a form of social Media,
so social interaction is key. It's not all about you. Help others.
Don't Be A Follow CopyCat: Don't follow everybody who
follows you. Be selective in who you follow or your
Twitter stream could quickly fill up with junk or spam.
For quality people to follow, see – FollowOnTwitterLists.com.
What to Tweet: Make sure that the tweets you post are helpful
and/or informative. If your tweets are good, it will encourage
others to retweet them. For ideas see - ArtBizBlog.com
Comment: Participate in the community by commenting on
other people's tweets.
Say Thank You: When someone takes the time to retweet
one of your tweets, make sure to reply to them with
a "thank you". It may even inspire them to retweet
more of your tweets in the future.
Be Personal: Again, I don't need to know what you ate
for dinner, but every now and then you should show your
human side with a creative thought, quote, or other
statement. Let people know you're "real" and not just a
lean mean business machine.
Post Pictures/Video: Remember, Twitter is not just for
text. It's easy to post short videos, and pictures too.
See examples here.
Talk About More Than Yourself: It's not all about you,
so please don't make all your tweets one big marketing
message, such as only tweeting about your latest press
release, blog posting, or article that was published.
