1
Have a Clear Action Plan
This is the first requirement for you to be effective at Twitter. Have a clear action plan as to how you will be approaching the certain market segment that you intend to cater to. Also, how much promotion and which products will be promoted on Twitter and whether you only want to promote the business or the specific products as well in the first place. These questions must be answered before launching a Twitter account and these will have different answers for every kind of business. -
2
Carefully Follow
Follow people on Twitter that can be useful for you. It is best that these people follow you back. If you follow someone and they are not doing the same, there is little to achieve, in most cases it will be best to not follow them using various tools that are available on Twitter. -
3
Be Unique
There are certain set patterns that most people follow in their Tweets. You may want to reverse the trend as it is unlikely to help you a great deal. People do not mind something different, in fact in this current day and age, the more unique you are, the more following you are likely going to get. Don’t be worried if your Tweets are a little too straight forward or have a lot of flair, many people will like that more than the dull routine Tweets. -
4
Converse
You can converse on Twitter so do not be afraid to do so with potential clients. Some may like what you do or offer while others will criticise it. Do not be worried about the criticism and try and turn critics into fans. This is great for business and will be good to entice more clients as well. Also make sure that you reply in a timely manner.
