In the interminable world of Social Networking Twitter occupies a very respectable place. Millions of users all over the world use Twitter as means of sharing their ideas and getting more information on the topics they are interested in. Initially Twitter was meant for these purposes.
Nevertheless, people gradually began to think over the advantages that Twitter could give to their businesses. And they found out that Twitter offers a wide variety of options for their business promotion. They have realized that their customers can be among those 100 million users of Twitter.
Many methods have been proposed for this issue and they have met with varying degrees of success and failure. Analyzing all these methods I have elaborated the top 5 ways that will be of great contribution to those who have an intention to boost their business on Twitter.
Be attentive not to miss a single point as they are all interconnected and the omission of any of them can be fatal.
1. Catchy profile
The first thing you should do after registering on Twitter is to complete your profile. Fill in all the fields that are required. Try to sign up with your real name as people like to deal with a real person. The biography plays a significant role in your profile. Try to describe yourself as detailed as possible, show that you are an expert in your field. It is preferable if you place the photo of yourself and not the logo of your company.
A catchy profile is the half of your work. In order to facilitate your task I'll provide you with the url of the best biography that I have come across on Twitter. http://twitter.com/deanhunt
2. Followers/following proportion
Twitter can be worthy for your business only if you have many followers. But don't follow many people at once, do it gradually so as not to be suspended. At the same time you mustn't forget about the fact that you should balance the ratio of your followers and following.
Another essential point here is that you should follow people who are interested in your product. Try to find targeted followers which will later develop into your clients.
3. Be considerate
In order to get more followers you should interest people. Don't tweet just for tweeting. Before placing something on Twitter ask yourself whether it would be interesting for you if someone tweeted that. If not do not even try to place it. Try to be helpful and considerate towards your followers otherwise you will expose your prestige on Twitter to danger. Do not forget that Twitter is a micro - blogging platform and your tweets are indexed by Google. So try to use the keywords which are relevant to your business.
4. Retweet frequently
Very often you come across some tweets that you want to share. With the help of Twitter's retweet feature you will be able to share it with your friends. In other words to retweet is to quote someone else's tweet.
5. Don't spam
Internet in general is not protected from spam and Twitter is not an exception. However I firmly advise you not to spam. Before registering first read The Terms and Rules of Twitter and act consistent with those rules. Get a clear notion of what is permitted and what is not on Twitter. This knowledge will preclude you of being banned or suspended.
Follow these steps and watch your business grow on Twitter.
