Social Networking Tips

Simple Tips for Twitter Business Professionals

It is amazing how many business professionals get into Twitter and throw their common sense out the window and proceed to share with the world their bathroom habits, the coffee choices and even their bedtime routine.  The question I ask myself is this….would they do this in a business meeting?  Can you imagine a sharply dressed man going into a powerful networking meeting with other sharply dressed professionals and having him say “I ordered a Carmel Macchiato at Starbucks this morning”.  The response might have some great looks or random outbursts of laughter (thinking it was a joke) or a “Uh -huh”.  How is it that becomes interesting online?

Here are 11 Tips when using Twitter for Business…..yes, ideas you can tweet.

1. Share your resources, favorite websites, great quotes, funny thoughts, what you learned, etc.
2. Toot as many people’s horns as possible.  Compliment everyone you love. Share who is helping you learn, who is inspiring you, etc.
3. Be personal….share who you are so others can connect with that.
4. Be responsible and responsive.  If someone DMs you….respond back.
5. Follow who you want to learn from ONLY if you can follow them.
6. Be honest.  If you don’t know something ask.
7. Retweet (RT) as many great things as you can.
8. Play Twitter as a Group Sport with this group.
9. Be grateful to others tooting your own horn.  Thank them for recognizing you.
10. Be interesting.  Share things of VALUE.
11. Repeat your tweets….only the really good ones.  Every 3 months is appropriate.
