Twitter Misconceptions


You don’t have to be “on”all the time

It’s ok to reply later

It’s nothing but sales people/chitchat on twitter


Profiles




DMing(Direct Messaging)


Check your Direct

Messages online *

*check for new followers

too, as twitter doesn’t

always notify you

Don’t spam people

Focus on the soft sell,

compliments work well.

Tips


Being Human is ok

Try to vary tweet types: One sales

tweet to one reply or other type of tweet

Best Ratio is 1 sales / 6 “other”



Keep tweets and tweets with

links short if possible.

Using the full 140 character

limit has much less chance of

being RTed (Re-Tweeted)

If someone has RTed your

tweet, it’s polite to thank them


Keep your follower / followee ratios in line

Equal Followers to Followees is fine

Following many more people then following back is not

Not following enough people back is also not recommended (People are less likely

to follow you, if they think you “might”

not follow them back.
