140 Twitter Tips

#1
@DavidSpinks If you're not seeing results, it's probably
not twitter's fault, it's how you're using it. That's ok.
Reevaluate why you're there and apply.

#3
@mooshinindy Be yourself on twitter. People will either
love you or hate you for it but at least it's you.

#4

don't just push promotions about your brand in their
face.

Twitter about how your promoting your business, or
how your getting paid, give followers something they
can use! @DunnMich

#6
Don't just talk about your product, talk about your area
of expertise. And the key talk - have a dialog with your
customers or potential customers.

your industry and post a link as soon as breaking news
hits the search engines.

might consider Tweeting about it yourself.
