The Key To The Twitter Kingdom

Twitter is a micro blogging tool that tells the world what you’re doing in 140 characters or less. The key to success with Twitter is to have people following you. In order to do that, you’ll need to converse and communicate with them. If you simply use Twitter to push out links, you’ll be blacklisted by those who you’re trying to be “friends” with.

Using Twitter for social bookmarking and to generate interest on your website is smart. You can ask your followers to social bookmark your favourite posts and you might post links to your blog or your ezine articles as well so that new stuff you write gets some attention.

But you should be careful to have a low ratio of links to tweets otherwise you will turn off the people that are following you and it takes one click of a button for them to “un-follow” a Twitterer so be cautious, use it wisely and strategically plus provide value to your followers and you can definitely see success from it.

There are a lot of tools that can accompany this micro blogging social marketing tool to help enhance the experience but the key here is that you need to be interesting and fun to follow.
