Is There A Tweet In Your Future?
You may be one of the many who have taken on the social networks as marketing tools for your business.
And in doing so, you have decided to use Twitter. But now you’re “dressed up with an account” and “don’t know where to go” or how to begin.
So you stare blankly at your Twitter page.
What should you tweet about?
You have 140 characters to work with, and while that seems easy, it can prove more difficult to come up with a post of value in 140 characters or less. You want to draw your audience in, but the question then becomes how.
What should you share with your followers? Just what is it your audience, your followers want to see?
Well, for starters, they want great conversation. So give them a statement worth wanting to reply to.
Your audience wants to get to know you–the person behind the tweets. So give them the opportunity to get to know you–your personality–as well as your company and your services.
They want links to great sites, or videos or information. If you find these things relevant and useful, chances are someone else will appreciate your resource as well.
Your followers will want a tweet worthy of sharing with their own followers.
Whether that comes in the form of a particularly humorous quip or a great article you have read, give them something they can retweet.
And in the process, while you want to engage your followers, they will want to engage you, as well.
Don’t be afraid to jump in and get involved yourself. Join in on the conversations, thank a fellow Twitterer for sharing a resource that you found helpful.
And don’t hesitate to retweet their posts, either.
Don’t ask anything of your audience that you are not willing to give yourself. If you are afraid to take your social networking to the next level, don’t expect that others will find you approachable and worthy of their time and effort.
Give them what they want and you will find that what you get in return will be invaluable to you and your business.
