- A tweet a day brings the tweeps (followers) your way
- Choose a good Username and Account Name, they’re different, wisely
- Your bio is consistently indexed so its contents are what provide your
Twitter page with its core relevance. Take advantage of all 160 characters! - Sign up for Twitter directories like Twellow
and WeFollow - Pimp up your profile with a background image. Templates available at twitterbacks.com
- Don’t forget your web address
- Integrate Twitter into your website with badges
and widgets - Use URL shorteners to provide links to richer content. I like Bit.ly
because it tracks click-throughs. - If you want a message to be forwarded, it’s ideal to keep it under
120 characters so your followers can easily add RT @YourHandle
in front of the tweet. - Select your lead-in, first 42 characters, of each tweet carefully for Search
Engine Optimization. - Write keyword-rich tweets and use # tags. Search tags on
search sites like tweetag.com. Watch the right-hand column on Twitter to fnd
the hot topics. - Many more resources and tutorials available at mashable.com
Oh, and don’t forget about Facebook
– groups and fan pages, too.
