4 Twitter Tips
Tip #1
Try to post regularly on your Twitter account. One of the advantages of Twitter is the smaller post size, but that smaller post size generally comes with the expectation of constant updates. You should aim to update your feed at least once every two days to begin with, but in the case of Twitter more quantity is better. If you can update everyday or even multiple times a day you should be able to generate a lot more interest in your Twitter feed.
Tip #2
Think about interesting additions that could form additional Twitter posts. Even if you have nothing to report on your own life, Twitter micro-blogging is perfect for things like facts you find interesting, quotes that you really love or short lists of things that you enjoy from numerous different categories. Twitter is as much about expressing your own habits and tastes as it is about keeping people apprised of your life as it happens. Keep that in mind whenever you write a post.
Tip #3
Even though Twitter is arguably a lot more about consistent updates than regular blogging, you should still not post that much fluff. As tip #2 suggests, make sure that your posts really reflect the person that you are. You want your feed to give followers insights into you as a person, that way they will always come back for more. Quotes should reflect your favorites and everything else should also in some way shine a light into the type of person that you are.
Tip #4
Make sure that you have fun with Twitter. Don’t let it take over your life, because its biggest advantage is that it should only take a few minutes each day. Also, don’t get too serious about it because it is supposed to be one of the more fun web 2.0 sites. If you feel yourself devoting too much time to it or losing interest in the fun aspects of the service, take a break from it for awhile. If need be, you can even delete your Twitter account later on if things get really bad.
