Twitter Questions - What Should I Tweet?
Twitter is a great marketing tool, but like pretty much everything else it is only effective if you use it in the right way. The first step towards this is finding targeted followers who are genuinely interested in your niche. Once you've found them, you job is to then post interesting Tweets that they'll actually want to read and which will engage them in your business... Or let someone else handle your social media management.
"So what should I Tweet?"
The simple answer to that question is anything which is interesting! We've all seen the people who try to sell all the time from their Twitter account. 'Buy this... buy this... buy this' they scream - yet what actually happens is that most people un-follow them rather quickly. Quite frankly it's BORING and irritating. Would you actually want to follow someone who just posts ads all the time?
The best sort of Tweets are those which point people in the direction of interesting information - whether it is interesting because it is informative, useful, funny, or just plain weird! As a Twitter user you don't want to ever appear to your followers as a sales person. Make yourself an authority source; someone who provides interesting information that offers benefit and enjoyment. Of course you CAN make sales Tweets too, but make sure you have a good ratio between informational Tweets and sales Tweets.
How do you know what to Tweet? Look around you. Keep an eye out on what's going on. What are the hot trends at the moment? Is there a big story you can Tweet about? Maybe you were just browsing a website and came across something your followers would enjoy too.
You also want to build up a good relationship with your followers. Twiiter is a social networking site, so treat it that way. Engage in conversations. Re-tweet things other users have posted - both they and your followers will thank you for sharing it. Ask questions and encourage people to respond. We offer complete social media management solutions!
