I have a few Twitter Tips up my sleeve and I’d like to share these with you.
Use a colorful background or wear a bright color in your profile photo.
This tip I picked up from Erin Blaskie. She explains that by having a bright profile image your Tweets will ‘pop’ out more within someone’s Tweet Stream, makes sense to me. Check out her Twitter profile image when you follow her you will see how much her Tweets actually seem to jump out at you.
Join Twitter Directories
There are several Twitter directories you can join and once you do so people can find and follow you based upon common interests. Some directories to join are:
- We Follow – http://wefollow.com/ – This one is my favorite because it ranks people in differnt categories (they place themselves in the categories) but it is still fun to see who the top Celebrity Tweeters are or the top Social Media people are.
- Twellow - http://www.twellow.com/ – Known as the Twitter Yellow Pages
- Just Tweet It - http://justtweetit.com/ – Find other people who Tweet what you Tweet
Completely fill out your Bio, Upload a picture, Create a Background Image
People are more likely to follow you if you have a completed Bio. Also, be sure to use your real name in your profile so that if someone searches for you, they can find you! Isn’t that the point of being on the Internet anyway so that people can find you? Also, you can create your own background instead of the stock Twitter backgrounds. There are a lot of web designers who will do this for you for a small fee. My favorite designer is BKB Designs , her name is Katherine Boroksi and she Designed my company logo and she can whip up something for you in a flash.
Tweet and Retweet
To stay relevant, you need to Tweet what you think! You will find that you create the most converstation with people if you actually interact with them on Twitter and ReTweet their thoughts as well. Don’t just ReTweet a celebrity Tweet, actually Tweet things that are of interest to you as that is how you will create a community of like minded followers.
