As we all know Twitter has become an enormous presence on the social media landscape. Due to it?s easy interface and numerous tools it has earned it?s spot in the limelight with everyone jumping aboard. Heck, even celebrities have joined the scene. Though, among the internet marketers, there is still not a clear picture as how best to incorporate it into business. Therefore I will attempt to give you some guidelines, or some twitter do’s and don’ts, to make your experience as successful as possible.

Do?s

1. Tweet fascinating or informative information.
Though many would think this was obvious, there are plenty of people out there who don’t get it. I?m all for tweeting about some cool article or neat piece of info that you found, but don?t tweet random quotes all day and nothing else, or random pics that you find just to have something to say. The idea behind using twitter to build your business is to show others that you are worth doing business with, so share things that they would want to know.

2. Follow tweeters who are worth the follow
I’m sure that when you first joined, you went and followed everyone you could find. Don?t lie, I know you did! Though I?m sure you got plenty of them to follow you back, how many of them were actually interested in what you have to say? This is why it’s important to follow people in your niche or target market, such as those interested in mlm or making money from home. I like to use things like search.twitter.com or twello.com to find twitter users in those areas. Then you’re tweets will be more likely to be read and not simply ignored.

3. Use the RT feature often.
RT simply means to retweet something that another user has already tweeted.It’s an easy way to get noticed because people enjoy seeing their tweets retweeted. Just don?t overuse it to the point you don?t come up with your own stuff.

4. Tweet at least 3 to 4 times a day.
You should tweet at least 3 or 4 times so that people know you are active. Show your followers that you are a serious marketer and are engaged in building your business. However, don’t take it to the extreme and tweet every second of everyday. That’s just overkill.

5. Fill out your profile and picture.
It’s hard to take someone serious who hasn’t taken the time to fill in their profile section. You want people to be able to know a little bit about you. Also make sure to have a picture or at least and avatar that can be identified with you. I don?t follow someone who can?t even take the time to change the default pic.

Don?ts

1. DM with a link to your site
I know that some programs tell you to do this, but I personally think it’s annoying. I?m fine with sending an auto direct message to welcome your new follower but make it about them not about you. This is one of your first contacts with your followers so don?t push them off to your website immediately.

2. Being overly self absorbed
Twitter is where people gather to hang out with others so remember to actually interact. Constantly talking about yourself and never responding to others is not how you have a conversation. Plus people will probably not pay you any attention if you never join the conversation.

3. Posting only links to your site
Now it is absolutely ok to post links to your site occasionally, but if its going to a squeeze page don?t post your links all day long. Try mixing it up with links to your blog posts, videos, or articles.

4. NO foul language
I would think this would be obvious but you’d be surprised by the type of unprofessional language I’ve seen marketers use Just think, if you are trying to market your brand, please be on your best behavior

5. Don?t forget to be personable.
Remember that this is a social network so don?t forget to be social. Let others get to know you.While there’s no need to tell people everything about yourself, you do want people to know that you are a real person that they can get to know.
