- Make sure your bio information is interesting and relevant to the Twitter traffic you want. Write it off line till it reads right and then review it occasionally as you do more tweeting.
- Make sure you have an avatar. Your own photo or a variation is ideal but have some form of an avatar. Google for them there are tons of free ones.
- Silence is golden. Don’t tweet all the time in fact for a start tweet for no more than 10 minutes in the AM and evening.
- RT other peoples tweets – make sure of course that you read the links and don’t just to it blindly.
- Be nice and don’t curse – lots of people think it is cool. They are usually 12 years of age.
- Don’t follow blindly. Follow people you are interested in. Read what they tweet. If it isn’t interesting then unfollow them.
- You don’t have to tweet 140 characters. Its not a goal just a limit. Short punchy tweets are a nice change.
- You don’t always have to follow people to read interesting Tweets. Set up and save a search on Twitter on the web and read this Twitter stream. Follow if you see interesting tweets.
- Use one of the many tools out there for Twitter (Tweetdeck is my favourite) they make tweeting so much more easier.
- No tip number 10 but you gotta have 10!!
