How Do You Use Twitter? Are You Follow These Mistakes?

Twitter is an great, exciting, cool, and extremely profitable social network site. Millions of people are now using the site to talk about various subjects. Indeed, it is a micro-blogging site for those who can’t stop talking. Many new users are doing common mistakes so before you start sending tweets read this article.

BIG Mistake – the picture on your avatar is not yours. Most new users don’t post their real picture. They often use default pictures, cartoon pictures, company logos, or their pet’s pictures. Although the pictures are quite cute, most Twitter users will appreciate a real picture of you. When you post your true picture on Avatar, others will think that you’re real and that you’re confident enough to let others see you.

Do you have any followers? If you want to have followers, you need to follow people or you can at least create an interesting profile page. You can get followers by regularly posting updates. If you keep on following people and yet you don’t make updates on your page, you can’t get enough followers.

Direct messages sended automatically through the AutoDM; direct messages are often impersonal and pushy. If you send this type of messages, you can lose your followers. Social Oomph is another tool that sends automatic messages. When you use these tools, messages are automatically sent to those who follow you. I recommend to use automatic messages for your new followers but do not promot your business or product.  People don´t like it.

If you keep on promoting your business all the time, everyone will ‘unfollow’ you. No one likes a person who talks about his business or product most of the time. You must learn to respect others. As you may have forgotten, Twitter is a social network.

Check your numbers regularly. It’s not good to follow many people when you have very few individuals following you. Try to achieve balance. Make sure that the one you follow will also follow you back and you should also appreciate the ones who follow you. This is the easiest way to make friends on Twitter.

Use tools like Tweetdeck so that you don’t need to stay online all the time. Through this application, you can divide your followers into groups. Now, you can easily track them especially when they send direct messages and replies.

You must learn how to communicate and build good relationships before you start bombarding them with promotions. Even if you already have a god list of leads, it is still not a good idea to barrage them with promotions. Promotional tweets should be sent in limited numbers only. When you have a big list of followers and you put out a great content you can increase number of ad in your tweets.
