What to tweet?

13

Here are 6 tips on tweeting and getting more followers:

1) Tweet often. The more you tweet, the more followers you will have – especially if some of those tweets are interacting with other folks.  2) Be interesting. into your personal interests and mix up what you're tweeting about.  3) Create lists . If you create a list of people who are interesting to you (for example, folks tweeting about the mayoral race), many of them will follow you back. 4) Respond to every @ reply you get. 5) Participate in #FF (follow Friday) #TBT (Throw Back Thursdays), etc. - recommend good folks to your network, and follow folks that your friends have recommended. 6) Credit other people in your tweets – if you recommend an article by the author, then use their twitter handle when you post about the article.
