- 1. TWITTER FOR BUSINESS 2013 By Brian Mawdsley @brianmawdsley
- 2. Twitter etiquette Rule #1: Don’t start a tweet with a hashtag. Let us see your thought, idea, comment, or story first. Rule #2: Please, please don’t use more than 3 hashtags in a tweet. If you do use three hashtags, do it sparingly. It’s just annoying.
- 3. Twitter etiquette Rule #3: This rule is going to go against what most “tweeps” believe! Don’t strive for followers. Strive for engagement. Ask people questions and engage with them! They’ll like it. In the long run, you’ll get more followers this way. Rule #4: Some people just don’t follow back. That doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t interact with you! Tweet them a question, idea, or story.
- 4. Twitter etiquette Rule #5: Even though you have a maximum of 140 characters, you don’t have to use all 140 characters. Try using around 100 characters. This will allow other tweeps the ability to retweet you. Rule #6: Add a profile picture. Enough said. You’d be surprised at how many people don’t add a profile picture.
- 5. Twitter etiquette Rule #7: If you were selling your house, would you make it look nice for an open house or showing? Absolutely! Same applies for you twitter handle. Add a background, make it look nice. Rule #8: Should you come across a spam account (and you will) please report them. The less spam accounts there are on twitter, the better it will be for all of us.
- 6. Twitter etiquette Rule #9: Add a description. By looking at some of your information, Tweeps who don’t know you will be able to find out what to Tweet with you about? Rule #10: If you’re struggling on determining how long your tweet should be, what your tweet should contain, hashtags, etc. remember to K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid.). Rule #11: In the end, just be yourself. Be authentic. Create value and enrich people’s tweets with great content!

Notas del editor
- Why are media tweets like photos, videos, and presentations so important to incorporate in your Twitter content strategy There is one simple way to get followers on Twitter, or on any social network, and I do not mean to be cliche: Be real. Serve others. Share good stuff. Write good stuff. Listen. Sorry, all very common advice, but the funny thing is — very few people follow it. My inbox was full after I wrote the 19 Things Successful People Do On Social Media and the 12 More Ways To Be Legendary and Successful on Social Media. It was not all new stuff, far from it, but I shared some of my own thoughts and by being open I met some friendly people. I met some trolls, too.But here are some tactical ways you can gain followers and avoid getting unfollowed or blocked or reported for spam on Twitter. Not an exhaustive list, by any means:Have a real photo of yourself. You can make it a cartoon or sketched or airbrushed, just do not leave that lowly Twitter Egg as your profile shot. D-U-M-B.Create an actual bio and use your city. You can add a link to your site or blog, too. Smart.If you are going to reach out to someone regularly via @ messages, then follow them, too.Keep your follower/following count somewhere close to one another, give or take 20 percent. I’ll admit this is a pet peeve, to some degree, but I am in this game to meet people and learn about them. I generally don’t follow the Prima Dona who has 100,000 followers and only follows 412 people. They are on Twitter to broadcast, in my view, and I’m here to engage. Many people echo this sentiment.Tweet good stuff. Search for things that you know will help your tribe. Is it marketing, customer service, polished sea glass, or grumpy cat photos (please no more cats!).Search some keywords you are interested in and follow people talking about that term. I’ve only briefly explored Little Bird, but it looks very promising for keeping up with influencers and topics.Share how you add followers in comments or tweet to me with a hashtag like #AdviceForTJ — TJMcCue on Twitter.Learn from the people who do engage. My short list:@MissDestructo (Amber Osborne, Destroyer of Social Media Boredom – you have to pay attention to someone who has “destroyer” in their profile. I also mentioned her in the 12 Legendary post. Epic.)@SmallBizTrends (yes, I’m technology/product editor there, but CEO Anita Campbell engages)@MarshaCollier (customer satisfaction/service expert and eBay guru)@mayhemstudios (this is Calvin Lee’s account — Twitter Master and friendly dude)@MMangen (virtual assistant and bookkeeper, superstar on Twitter, of course)@MattKostan (marketing and small biz guy)@TimBerry (business plan expert)@FranchiseKing (Joel Libava — franchise guru and all around good guy)@SmallBizLady (Melinda Emerson — one of the best small business advocates around)People Buy Fake Twitter Followers — But Don’t Do ItIf you have been on Twitter very long, you have been accosted by a spammer offering you “Thousands of Twitter Followers…Instantly.” My editor at theHarvard Business Review shared a new service with me — that outs the people who BUY Twitter followers. Ouch. It is built by a service called, ironically enough, StatusPeople. You can find the link at the end of the post. Buying followers does not equal engagement or friendship or anything really worth having.4/15 UPDATE: See resources below for a list of celebrities who just got busted (metaphorically-speaking) for huge fake follower counts. Now, to be fair, and based on comments/discussion around this post, those celebs probably can’t keep up with everyone and those folks just creep in. However, it is very possible that some are just buying followers to make themselves look impressive. All in all, that’s not a surprise, but since most of us, as biz owners and busy execs, do not want to earn that kind of notoriety, that’s another reason to avoid buying followers. http://gizmodo.com/5994621/which-celebrities-have-the-most-fake-twitter-followersI’ve been reading Start With WHY by Simon Sinek. You can also find his popular TED talk on YouTube. His big focus is on asking WHY before HOW or WHAT. He uses all caps a lot, just so you know I’m not shouting… And I have taken this book to heart and am asking myself — why am I doing this (any particular activity during my day)? Why am I in business? What’s my purpose? I’m not asking it in some deep philosophical way, but more as a practical reality check each morning, to keep on track.I mention this book because I believe we have to ask ourselves: Why do I need to get more followers on Twitter? Or more likes on Facebook, or what have you. The Twitter greats are asking how they can serve others, online and IRL. They are sharing of themselves and people appreciate it. There was a study that showed that people with fewer followers were able to actually spread their message mo’ betta. (Hawaiian for “more better.”)You’ll feel your status and influence increasing and improving when people respond to your work. Keep your social media score by depth, not by height or width.More Resources:StatusPeople – Fake Followers CheckFast Company has a terrific post by Amber Mac: Buying Twitter Followers – it tells the full story of buying fakes.Gallery:
