Before you start on
twitter
If you are thinking of starting a twitter account here are a few things to
consider before you begin
1. Have a profile picture. People are more willing to follow and
engage with those who have a profile picture than a plain ‘egg’
and try to make the picture distinctive. Remember that because
twitter is constantly updating your post will probably be only briefly
visible amongst a string of other updates. If your picture stands
out people will recognise that you have tweeted. Additionally,
many people will read their twitter feed on mobiles devises so
your profile picture will be very small that will make it more difficult
to distinguish it from others.
2. Add a description to your profile. If people have seen your posts
they will probably want to know more about you to decide whether
or not to follow you so add some information to your profile. It will
also give people some idea about what to tweet with you about.
3. Use your characters wisely and although you have a maximum of
140 characters, don’t use them all. If you only use 120 people can
retweet you and add comments.
4. When using hashtags don’t use too many (a maximum of three)
5. Be authentic and create good content. If you help and offer advice
followers are likely to engage with you and read, retweet or reply
to your tweets.
6. Don’t strive for followers, strive for engagement. Ask people
questions and respond to other people’s tweets. You will have a
greater influence by having a high level of engagement with fewer
followers than a large number of disinterested followers.
7. Give credit when using other peoples content, use mentions and
retweets.
8. 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.).
