Twitter Etiquette
Twitter Etiquette
(1) Link to great content. Content is king. Don’t post three straights tweets. It will seem bot-like, and may create your followers to unfollow you.
(2) Upload pictures of self-thoughts, location, or favorites items. This gives your followers a better picture of the Twitter user’s personality.
(3) Retweet other follower’s great content. This is probably one of the most important traits one can do in the Twitter world since it does two things:
First off, it demonstrates to your followers that you’re reading their tweets. Secondly, it shows the readers that your clicking on their links and consider it Retweet worthy.
(4) Post links to videos of the company employees. Maybe, a Happy Holidays greeting video?
(5) Don’t just spam links to your blog.
(6) Reply to your following tweets. By replying to their tweets, they’re more inclined to read, retweet, and click on the links within your tweets.
(7) I take an approach to reply to 8-10 tweets a day, and retweet 2-3 tweets a day.
(8) Retweet when someone adds you to their Follow Friday or gives you props on Twitter.
(9) Best time to tweet content between 8am-12 pm EST
(10) A Twitter account should have more following than followers.
(11) Rather than posting a link to a blog post, post the link to Digg, or Stumbleupon and this will create traffic thru these social marketing sites.
(12) Remember once again, reply, and retweet more than tweeting.
(13) Treat someone on Twitter in the same manner as one would in real-life.
(14) Be creative and have fun.
