grow your business as well as your network.
 You might be using Twitter but getting business out of it can be
little more difficult.
 If you want to use Social Media for business and Twitter is on
the list, following are the points you must take heed of.

4. 1. Optimise and Integrate
 Optimise your profile: Start with getting yourself a nice display
picture. You can even customise the background.
 Use the left hand side column to your advantage. You can put
you logo, website and contact details.
 Use the Bio sections as an elevator pitch. You can also get a
tagline of your company and links to your website, blog etc in this
section.
 Once you’ve your profile all set up, integrate it with your website,
Facebook page, Blog etc.

5. 2. Listen and Monitor
 Once you are on Twitter, the first step should be to listen before
you start joining the conversations.
 Search for relevant keywords and you should get a list of people
who are talking about your business or your industry.
 Reputation Management: Follow up and act immediately in case
of a negative tweet.
 Answer Questions: Treat it as an instant customer care service
that can really strengthen your brand.

6. 3. Develop Relationships
 Join in the relevant conversations and be chatty. Instead of just
posting links on Twitter, try to interact with your followers as well.
 Develop a nice mix of what you would like to tweet
about. Industry trends, market news will attract relevant people.
 Tweet 3-5 times a day but make sure to keep your posts
interesting and relevant to your target audience.
 Follow influencers and try to get them say good things about
your brand. You can look for influencers in your field
through Tweet Grader.

7. 4. Retweet and Favourite Tweets
 Retweet (RT) your followers’ tweets. And if someone else
retweets your tweet, make it a point to thank them for it.
 Make it a point to RT any tweet which is positive about your
company: That way more people will get to see what good things
are being said about you.
 Also, remember to “Favourite” all the positive reviews you get.
 Gradually you’ll develop a good list of positive tweets in your
Favourite tab. You can then post that link on your website or blog
as a list of Testimonials.
