One of the oldest social platforms out there is Twitter. I\u2019ve been on Twitter since early 2010.<\/p>\n
Twitter allows users to have a direct conversation style. This style can mean you can easily join in on existing conversations that are happening on the platform. But some people tend not to get it and are more likely to be on Facebook.<\/p>\n
In the last couple of years, a lot of the same people have been saying that Twitter isn\u2019t doing well, and Twitter is dead Well; Twitter isn\u2019t dead. In fact, Twitter is still a great platform to have a conversation, and they are continuing to make the platform better with each update.<\/p>\n
A lot of people think Twitter is about followers, but it\u2019s not it\u2019s about meeting people, talking to people and building relationships. If you want to these things, you have to take an active role on the platform.<\/p>\n
Not just send out a tweet once in a blue moon.<\/p>\n
So Let me show you what you can do to help get you started on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Easy Just say hello. Greet the community. Give a shout out to someone your meeting that day or an inside look into what you are doing this morning.<\/p>\n
Reply to the people who are talking to you. Don\u2019t ignore them.<\/p>\n
You can always retweet (AKA Share) which you should, but if you add a comment to the retweet, it can make it even better.<\/p>\n
It could be someone who put a Tweet out in the world, and you think you can add your option too. By joining in, you are meeting new people and will, in turn, increase your following.<\/p>\n
You might not want to do this to a celebrity because they\u2019re probably will not respond, but this is an excellent strategy to get to know a someone or even a thought leader. If you have read their content, ask a question about it. This approach is a great way to show that you\u2019re paying attention and not a spammer.<\/p>\n
This tip is an excellent way to get in front of an audience or gain a new one. But this will only work if you are offering something of valuable and relevant to say. Don\u2019t just be a troll (being a D**k); you should try to contribute.<\/p>\n
This is a neat little trick that I use to find questions, go to the search bar and put a \u201c?\u201d and click on the latest. If there is a question being asked to someone I already follow, I can answer it, if I can.<\/p>\n
I often share links to content. If you follow me on Twitter, will you probably want to know when I\u2019ve posted a bit of content. Let people know that I\u2019ve created something new.<\/p>\n
Everyone loves quotes!<\/p>\n
Create a Tweet and announce that you are celebrating someone else\u2019s accomplishment. It\u2019s a surprise for that person when they see that you\u2019ve given them a shout out.<\/p>\n
I like to let Twitter know that I\u2019m signing off in the evening. But, no fear, they know I\u2019ll be back saying \u201cHello\u201d in the morning.<\/p>\n
Those are the 10 Tweets you should be sending out most days. By Just sending out a few Tweets a day, you will start to build your Twitter audience as you go and create the content you want to publish.<\/p>\n
