As you may have noticed, we are on Day 11 of our Twitter Tips and Hints. In addition to today’s tips and hints, I wanted to give all of you a chance to add your own favorite twitter tip and/or hint to the list. If enough of you provide your own, I will compile them into a blog post and add them into the 30 days sometime in the next few days. Linkage love provided of course.
It is easy to add your Tips and Hints
Just leave a comment here with your favorite twitter tip and hint. The other option is to send it to me on twitter at @grantgriffiths
Of course the advantage of leaving it in a comment is that you can give me more then 140 characters. Let’s see how many we can get. Jump in and leave your tips and hints.
My biggest tip? Be yourself, don’t try and “market” in the sense of putting your links out there and trying to get your name forced into your tweets. I started off doing this until I got a call from a friend and told to quit it. Only after I started the retweets and comments on others tweets did I start to see a benefit.
Thanks for the tips Grant.
My tips are:
1) Post a picture.
2) Put up a bio – not a job description, but who are you – what are you interested in?
I don’t follow people that don’t do 1 and 2.
3) Get yourself a copy of TweetDeck. It makes “doing Twitter” so much easier.
4) Once you start using TweetDeck, put in a couple of searches on topics that interest you (e.g., “nature photography” or “inbound marketing”) it will open your eyes.
