6 Golden Rules For Tweeting Success

1) Build your Trust : Don’t Start your Profile with Marketing your services or products. This is the worst thing you could do. You need to share your knowledge and expertise with your readers. Make them wanna follow you ! Build your credibility.

2) What to Tweet : This can be difficult for some. If this is your professional profile, don’t tweet about what you had to eat or where you party last night. Find the leaders in your niche and see what they are tweeting about, RT their top tweets, join them in a conversation.

3) Join a Conversation : Twitter is a communication platform. In other words its a 2 way flow of ideas and thoughts. Join other peoples conversations and get to bond with them. This is great for getting followers. Initiate and join conversations with leaders or experts in your niche. You get to break the ice this way and they get to know you’re interested in their niche and not looking to spam them. Chances are they’ll follow you back once you follow them.

4) Selective Following : Just because someone follows you, you don’t need to follow them back, especially if they are not in your niche. Be selective in who you follow. Read their tweets, make sure they are not spammers. See their ratio of followers to following ( Ideal ratio is 1 :1.07 )

5) Display your Twitter Profile : Now that you have the perfect Twitter Profile, why hide it ? Add it to your Blog, add it to your email signature, on your business card. The more places you have it, the more visibility you’ll get.

6) Join Major Twitter Directories : The best place to get your Twitter Profile noticed  and get followers joining you is Twitter Directories like wefollow or twellow.
