Garth DeBlasio had a great post on the Points Group Blog this week for developing your Twitter. The tips are really most significant for those starting up on Twitter. I’ve been amazed at how many people don’t take advantage of the basics though, and thought they’d be worth repeating here:
- Design your profile
- Use and monitor hashtags (#duh)
- Take advantage of search alerts
- Let people know you’re on Twitter
- Measure your results
If you’re on twitter for fun, then just go with it. If you have any business aspirations on Twitter, whether it be finding a job, promoting your work, or networking with other professionals, you need to be intentional. These tips should help. I also suggest reading Garth’s original post on Twitter Tips for Building Your Brand.
