Now you have already known that Twitter is an important part of your SEO and Internet marketing campaign, and you have signed up an account.
What’s next to get the ball rolling?
Below are 7 tips that can help you have a quick and good start:
1. Polish your profile
A detailed profile is necessary. When other people come to you page, before deciding following you or not, they need to know as much about you as possible. So a profile more details about you and your company can definitely win you some trust and good impression.
2. Integrate Twitter with other websites
Do you have a blog, a website a LinkedIn page or a facebook page? If you do, you have no reasons why don’t add them to your Twitter account. Integration of Twitter and those services can make it easier for you to synchronize the updates between various accounts.
3. Interaction
Twitter is about communication, as it is meant to be. No matter what big name you are, your followers may leave you if you have a dead account. Tweet, reply, forward, direct message…do them all to interact with your followers so they know you care.
4. Take it easy
Although I said Twitter is about communication, I didn’t mean you should post a tweet every 3 minutes – it is spamming and your followers will be scared away. 10-15 tweets per day is enough for small businesses.
5. Know the trend
Look at what the hot buzz is and contribute to it. At the homepage of Twitter you can see what the hot topics are. You need to know what people are talking about, and if it is related to your industry, participate and enjoy!
6. Do people a favor if you can
Some of your followers may need your help sometimes, like some questions regarding your industry. Reach out to help them if you can. As Mom told me, good deeds always pay.
7. Take your Tweets outside Twitter
Twitter can be added to other websites or services. For example, you have a business site, then adding Twitter to your site does sound like a good idea, so when you post new updates on Twitter, your updates can also be seen on your website.
Good job! Now you have evolved from a rookie Twitterer to a more advanced one! Keep the trend going and happily look at the number of followers constantly growing. Read more on SEO and Internet marketing.
