This is one tip and hint I almost did not include. However, there are so many new tweeters out there not taking advantage of this, I thought we better. If you will remember a couple of the previous post in this series, you will recall these:

• Give a good profile and provide a URL
• Don’t use the default avatar on twitter

The main purpose for these techniques when using twitter is to get followers. Give them a reason to follow you and want to engage you in your conversations. Putting your blog’s link in your profile not only provides possible followers with a way to get to know you. It also gives you a great way to promote your blog and to get people visiting it now.

All too often I see the URL field in people’s profiles left blank. Those not putting a URL here are failing to take advantage of this great opportunity. If you are going to use twitter, put your URL in this space. And if you have a blog, promote your blog here.

We will discuss using this space for something I use and that is a “Twitter Landing Page” in the next few days. And you will see how this tool can really direct your audience to where you want them to be.
