But, before you start marketing through twitter, there are still some do's and don'ts that have to be taken into consideration.
Twitter do's and don'ts
Make your posts worth reading The whole point of twitter is to keep your followers interested. But, how can you achieve this when you don't have anything worth reading about. That said, you should post items that are catchy and can give people a sense of interest. That way, people will keep coming back for more and follow you. Remember, twitter's strength is that it can be easily searched.
Speak softly people love to read posts that are soft spoken. Pretty much like in the real world, if people don't like the way you talk, then chances are that they won't speak to you.
Never over tweet It is good that you update every now and then, but tweeting about too many useless things will make your followers lose interest in you.
Be creative in your posts Twitter has a limitation of 140 characters, so you only have a small space to convey your message. The trick is to get creative and do your best to convey your message as clear as possible in this 140 character limit.
Follow everyone that follows you The common practice in twitter is to follow everyone that follows you. This will in turn generate more followers for you in the long run.
