Tips for Success on Twitter
The most important tip for Twitter success is this: It takes time.
You can’t expect to throw up a Twitter account and get a lot of traffic in days, weeks or even a few months. Give it time. Feed it.
Be honest with your audience and have a consistent voice.
Focus on conversations, rather than on pushing your content or sales pitches out. Focus on getting to know the people who talk to you, and on letting people to get know you and your brand. Don’t treat Twitter like a direct mail campaign.
Treat it more like getting to know a friend.
And finally, have a system for figuring out what’s working and what’s not. Look at statistics, as well as follower surveys to improve your Twitter marketing strategy.
