Tweetastic Tips

If you are just starting out on Twitter, it can be pretty confusing. If you have been using it for a little while, it can STILL be confusing. But once you get the hang of the motion in the ocean, Twitter can help you make waves.

Here are my Top Tweet tips:

1. TARGETED Followers count, not NUMBER of Followers porn stars and teenager do not make for good followers: many Twitter accounts is that the administrator either focus on thousands of followers Twitter is definitely a numbers game, but that only plays a percentage into the effectiveness of your Twitter campaign. Finding the right, targeted audience to interact and engage is key.

2. Don't Like Twitter, Don't Use It: By Twitter I mean Twitter.com.
If you haven't been on the site for a few months, you might want to check back in. Twitter has really worked hard to make bold strides in design to make it easier to understand and navigate. Free platforms such as HootSuite and TweetDeck allow you to get use Twitter on your own means with interfaces that are much more user-friendly.

3. Lists: What is a Twitter List? Say for example that you wanted to know what your competition is tweeting about. Go to Twitter and start a list called "competition", then add all of the competitors that you want to follow. Then you can simply login, go to the list, and read every tweet that has been said by the members of the list. This is a great monitoring tool and also great for interaction.

4. TEO: TEO is simply Twitter Engine Optimization # Hash tags are a great way to make your post friendly for people searching about your subject matter. Say you are a recruiter looking to fill a secretary position in Geneva. After your tweet about the vacancy, you can add hashtags such as #secretary #officejobs #geneva to make your post easier to find when people search for the key terms. It takes practice...but works!

5. Share: "I don't have time to tweet," find ways of making your life easier. That is where RSS feeds, Google Alerts and more come in. Find content, sites and topics that you enjoy and then get them sent directly to your inbox. When you get the feed or alert, look through to see if there is anything worth sharing on Twitter.
