Help! I'm now on Twitter and...
 

I still don't "get" twitter and tweeting really, but our marketing team wants me to do this. So help me out by following me or giving me some twitter tips.

Start with the basics please.

u follow people, post interesting things obviously free.,
and people will follow u, as simple as that.

Well, I'm a little beyond that basic, but thanks. What about when to do @ and why do @ someone? And some of the guys hear talk about cool mobile apps that go well with twitter?

@ is so you can direct your tweet at someone specifically

twitter your open letter to charlie = winning

Its all about the #tigerblood and #teamsheen right now

Well your twitter was just pretty useful to me - i did not know sxsw was having an adult talk this year. I may have to check it out.

I just followed you... here's mine: http://twitter.com/vanilladeville Hit me up via icq and I'll give you some pointers. It's super east tho. :)

maybe I can beat his record number of followers. Now that I have my own twitter account I am really impressed by his achievement.

You'll get the hang of it, it's pretty handy for networking... I'm following btw. :)

Use related hashtags in your post but not too many.

follow my account at http://twitter.com/redstr718

what's an example of that?

You can follow me @pimpinainteasy

following, you gonna teach me some tricks?

perfect i was looking for something 'mobile related' to follow with my new twitter account

Following you, let me get you some followers. 1 sec

edit: done, hope it helps ;)

ooohhh pointers from YOU? Daaahhhling...

perfect, I'll hit you up next week. Too much multi-tasking at the moment. Supervising our live show, GFY posting, and twittering.

Oh good lord... :)

Think of Twitter like ICQ/IM... If you found or had a funny video, pic, topic, news article, ect shared with you or you would share it with someone in the office, then share it with Twitter.

Then if you use a chat/im client to help you, other than twitter directly, you can have conversions with people, like here on gfy... but in a 140 chars or less, which often ends up going to email if it's anything good.

Someone posts a topic/article, you rt or reply to them, they reply to you, others reply, you can add a #hastag so everyone talking can join in, if they want.

I've gotten some pretty crazy convo's going on Twitter before, about all types of topics. I never see my main chat, spammers, ect.. but I've talked with PGA pros, celebs, ceo's of big corps, down to just normal people like us trying to make a dime.

It's a different kind of social, more disconnected and responding back a day or two later about a topic you were talking on, isn't uncommon, so topics can fire back up in an instant.

I can provide you with unlimited followers, thousands in a matter of day, 99% humans, but... nothing is for free in this bad world... what can you give me in return for that? I'm open for any ideas. :Graucho

Thanks Doc. Can I see an example of this? Someone posts a topic/article, you rt or reply to them, they reply to you, others reply, you can add a #hastag so everyone talking can join in, if they want.

Downloading TweetDeck now per a staff recommendation. Let's see how this works.

If you didn't have it why is your first and fourth Tweet from Tweetdeck?

Done... :)

Easy peasy :thumbsup

1. share useful content every day
2. Participate in conversations about your brand
3. Link to your Twitter profile from your contact page
4. Reuse and repurpose testimonials found on Twitter
5. Post coupons or special deals exclusively on Twitter (1 of every 10 tweets max)

It's Follow Friday! Make a list of @'s you want people to follow.

search twitter daily using search terms pertinent to your goals and reply with useful, non-selling, information to tweets

Good ideas. I just added it to my GFY sig, but it doesn't look right. What's the standard "Follow Me" one liner that looks normal?

@PV_Alli would be it! Most twitter folks would get that! ;-)

I am not too new to twitter but I am starting to tweet more often.... how can i get loads of followers??? any suggestions...

;-)
Telling us your twitter name could be a good start, and then it flows along from there! ;-)

@VH1cameronadams... can you hook a sister up... lol

Okay, about to head home so I guess I need to download the twitter app on my iphone... Buying my first Mac for my home tomorrow. Exciting!

Say you are twitting about software for example, after your twit place a hashtag like so: #software #scripts

Or you can twit like this for example:

A new update for our #software is available right now, go #download it now!

Hashtags are like keywords you want to Target in the Twitter search engine.

They also help you get followers that are interested in your product or service.

I think we did that already, but he's special and he's dine pretending he's not, so he may not be able to read.

Tweet Tweet!
