Legacy popularity: 1,323 legacy views
If you’re a small business, particularly if you’re just starting out, Tweeting might not be very high on your priority list. Balancing the books, hiring new employees, and gaining new customers is fairly more consuming.
But engaging with social media is important to stay relevant because it’s where your customers are; they’re Facebooking, they’re Tweeting and they’re sharing photos on Flickr, Instagram and Path. (They’re definitely not MySpacing or ping unless your in the music biz .)
In terms of ROI, Twitter is a vital tool for interacting with customers and spreading the word about your business. Operating on Twitter is quick, contagious and easy if you follow these steps:
1. Setting up your Twitter profile is about personal branding. Choose a great photo; one that will be highly memorable in its tiny Twitter-form. Monochrome, simple images that you use for other social networks work best. If your full company name is available, grab it. Avoid the ‘_’ character because it’s easy for people to forget, especially while working at Twitter-speed. If your company name is gone, be creative. Just remember on Twitter, your use
ame is your identity. For location, you have 30 characters to spell it out. Don’t be too cute like “The Internet,” because in most cases, you want people to find you. If you are an actual retail shop or local restaurant, be as exact as you can. Enter your website, preferably your company’s website or blog. Lastly, your 160-character Twitter bio is incredibly important because it’s what people read when they ask
themselves, “Why do I want to follow this person?” @CoachDenise . Does the name tell you enough or peck your interest
2. Follow People. This is the first type of relationship on Twitter. It’s important to follow relevant people, industry influencers and global thinkers who will help you keep abreast of the news and learn more about the Twitter community you are about to enter.
3.Get Followers. This is the second type of relationship on Twitter. People will follow you for a variety of reasons. Some will follow you because they believe you are an interesting source of information. Which works because the tweet is both informative and shows their followers that really cares about them
Others will follow you because they like you, even though they might not really know you. Unlike Facebook pages which feel like you are interacting with a brand, Twitter allows you to show off your personality in a more intimate way. Tweet honestly.
