1. 10 things you really
shouldn’t do on Twitter
Presented By SarkeMedia.com

2. Mistake #1: Quantity over
Quality
Contrary to
popular belief, the
number of
followers on
Twitter is not a
direct measure of
success. Balance
quantity and
quality for best
results.

3. Mistake #2: Auto-Follow Back
While it’s nice to reciprocate,
automatically following everyone
who follows you results in a lot of
spam and makes it difficult to
interact meaningfully.

4. Mistake #3: Auto Direct
Messaging
Make real connections, not automated
ones. Don’t sound desperate!

5. Mistake #4: Not Customising Your Page
Create a great first impression.
Customize your background and profile.

6. Mistake #5: Taking Extended
Breaks
Don’t leave your audience hanging when
you have to
be away from Twitter.

7. Mistake #6: The Same Time Each Day
Mix it up and connect with your followers in different
time zones.

8. Mistake #7: Not Responding to
@s
Twitter labels the @ mentions tab as “Connect” for a
reason. Connect with your audience that is
already talking to you.

9. Mistake #8: No Personality
Tweets
No corporate smugness required. Have fun and
show personality in your tweets.

10. Mistake #9: Stingy with
Retweets
Share the love and share great tweets with your
followers. It builds connections and
brings great stuff to your audience.

11. Mistake #10: Taking vs. Giving
It may sound cliché, but
stop worrying about
Twitter can give you and
instead think about what
you can give Twitter. It
comes back manifold.
