Twitter Tip O' THe Day
There are a few things you should do before you start following people in the hopes that they will follow you back:
Have your website up and running and have samples of whatever it is that you are trying to sell, ready to view on your site. I have my writing samples on a wordpress blog, and it has worked very well for me. This may sound obvious, but I'm amazed at how many Twitterers don't do this.
Upload a picture of yourself or at least an icon; otherwise Twitter will use an ugly little brown box with two zeros and a dash and you will look like an amateur.
And before you sign up to start following people, post half a dozen or so interesting Tweets.
Why?
Because if you sign up to follow people, and they go to your Twitter home page, this is about the must unappealing thing that they can see and gives them NO reason to follow you: a Twitter home page with zero tweets on it, an ugly little brown Twitter box instead of a picture, and no link to a home page. Who are you? Why should anyone waste a precious follow on you?
Those are my "pimp your Twitter" tips. Anyone elses? Any major turnoffs when you go check a Twitter home page to decide if you want to follow the person?
