use it in proper way. Following are the 10 big mistakes which most of the people do while post on

picture to their profile. Do you know people you have their profile picture get 10 times more

followers than those who do not have any picture. Here is an example of perfect profile.

handle. Make sure that you are checking your @connects and reply to people. In this way you will

get engage with others and it is a great way to gain traffic.

when you send them a direct message to buy your product. People reduce interest in you and do not

like to follow you or simply unfollow you.

you follow it back. Make it sure that it is not compulsory that you should follow every person who

follows you. When you follow someone it shows that you like the posts of that and it attracts you.

click the link you mentioned in your tweet. But when he clicks he found it totally irrelevant. We all

want high click rates and large number of followers but all these silly blunders will only hurt your

reputation.

8. Tweet Only About Yourself : If you do not want to increase your followers an promote your

business than do tweeting about yourself throughout the day. But if want to improve your website

traffic than tweet about others because twitter is all about give and take. Now, start talking about

other people and spread useful information you see along the way.

9. Not Linking Your Account To Your Blog : Another big blunder you do when you not connect

your twitter profile to your blog. Twitter do not tell your whole business story so make sure that you

connect it with your blog so that people can know more about you and can also gain more useful

information.

10. Use Of Default Twitter Layout : If your network is growing very slow than it is a fault of your

twitter layout. If you are professional than get some time and replace your simple layout with

information packed effective layout. It will help you to gain more targeted customer attention to

your profile.
