Twitter Guide for Beginner Bloggers
This article is about how to get started with Twitter. It is pretty easy to start using it, but the how to use escapes many people. Some people even think that twitter is a silver bullet for online marketing. It is not. It is just another place to network, communicate and chat.
Short Introduction to Twitter
Twitter is a micro blogging platform that allows users to write short 140 char messages, tweets. The basis of twitter are followers.
On Twitter you can choose, do you start to follow. When you follow someone, you also start to receive their tweets. And vice versa, people who follow you will receive your tweets. This means that the amount of followers you have, will affect the amount of readers you get for your messages.
Getting Followers
The way to get followers is to follow people and hope that they follow you back. I’d say that around 25% of the people that you follow, will follow you back, so you are pretty well off with this strategy.
Many people who start out with twitter, just run around and try to follow all the people they find. It is a big error, because you should only follow targeted people. Follow people that will likely be interested in your blog and in your tweets. The more interested the people are, the more clicks you will get. It’s that simple.
