Here are 7 most powerful twitter tactics you can use,to get the most out of this micro-blogging platform.
1. Network with noteworthy business associates, competitors, and peers.
You don't have to simply befriend every person you can that requests you or vice versa on Twitter. Instead, choose your networking buddies carefully. Look for fellow executives or business owners who work within your particular niche.
Then, follow their progress, look for advice, and of course, throw in some of your own two cents as well. By befriending people who are in the same line of work as you, you'll get an insider's look at how their successes compare to yours.
2. Update your audience fairly regularly, but don't over load them.
A lot of people are most likely interested in what you have to say, otherwise they probablywouldn't have added you to begin with.
This means you should be updatingthem on a fairly regular basis so they can keep up with what's happening in your world or your business' world. On the other hand, you don't want to overload people so much that the feel of your Twitter site feels "spammy" and they turn away. Try to maintain the balance between good updating and overwhelming people with insignificant updates.
3. Use Twitterfeed to help people stay updated.
Twitterfeed is basically the website's answer to an RSS feed, and it's a great way to automatically keep your followers updated without them checking your page too often. It also allows things to be updated on their own, so you don't have to spend extra time telling everyone you have an updated; it's all done for you.
4. Use Twitter at conferences and trade shows.
When you're out and about networking in the REAL world, don't forget to use Twitter then as an opportunity to update your customers and peers on what you're seeing and doing. This shows them that you're being proactive and it's a lot of fun as well.
You can tell them some funny things you might be seeing at the trade show, or maybe inform them of an interesting vendor you've hooked up with. By sharing your experiences as you go along, you're garnering more interest in what is happening with your business.
5. Keep an eye on what people are saying.
Don't forget that Twitter, like any other virtual conversation, is a two-way street. Pay attention to what othermembers are saying, and see if they're Twittering about you. If they are, you might want to use that as an opportunity to either thank them for a nice compliment, or to make good if they are posting a complaint. Remember that you're never 100% safe from someone who might try to talk negatively about you, your website, or anything else on Twitter. Be sure to use this to your advantage in a diplomatic way.
6. Display your Twitter profile on business cards, your website, and in email signatures.
Remind people in other ways that you're on Twitter. Some clients and customers might not know this until you pass the information along. Get a nice snapshot of your Twitter home page and then display it along with a link to the Twitter page on your actual website. Include the page's URL in email signatures and you can even print this on a business card if you like.
7.Make Twitter another home hub.
Use Twitter to display your business growth,charts, statistics, and other factual data. This way, people who prefer towatch what's happening with you on Twitter have the same basic information and access as those who usually just visit your website.
