Hello fellow Tweeters (or potential Tweeters if you're reading this article)! Today I'd like to talk about how to use Twitter.
1. Open A Twitter Account
Make sure that your Twitter account has your name in it. As with anything you do (as a Network Marketer) you want YOUR name to be associated with the content. This is very important! It builds a name for you and hence credibility. I know this might be difficult because someone else might have the same name as you, but try putting in your middle initial, if your name is Jon expand your name to Jonathan, or if that doesn't work use your whole name (first middle AND last).
Okay now you have your account set up. What next?
2. Search For People to Follow
You want to target who to follow based on your products. For example, if you sell insurance then on the top bar of your Twitter account click "Who To Follow". You will see a search bar. Type in "insurance" and anyone who has that in their comments or profile descriptions will show up. Try and follow about 20 people per day. It's best this way, because you don't get overwhelmed and if you continue with it, you'll be up to over 1000 followers in no time! Thanks to CONSISTENCY!
3. Connect Your Twitter To Facebook
On the top left hand corner should be your account name. When you click on it, choose "Settings". Next select the "Profile" tab. At the bottom of the page, you should have the option of connecting you Twitter Account to Facebook. Now anything you post on Facebook will automatically go onto Twitter! Yes, that's right, no extra technical knowledge required!!
If you have a Fan Page on Facebook, go to your Fan Page, click "Edit Page", from the right side menu choose "Resources". Underneath the heading "Connect With People" you will see the option to connect your Fan Page to Twitter. Click on the Twitter icon and the rest will just fall into place. Now anything you post on your Fan Page will post to Twitter as well.
4. Talk The Talk - Tweet
Alright, here's where we get down to the nitty gritty. The explanation of the alien-like language of Twitter. Now, you see a lot of @ and # signs; let me explain. When you want to send a public message to someone you @TheirName. When you want to include a topic in your Tweet you #Topic (hash a topic). What this does is include your tweet in the search for that topic. For example, if you #diet then when someone searches "diet" your post will come up.
You can also DM someone. This means Direct Message and it is private. You can only DM people who are following you.
Well, I hope this article has helped! I know when I first joined Twitter I was lost and figuring it out by yourself is a LONG process. Ha Ha!!
