10 things you really shouldn’t do on Twitter

Presented By SarkeMedia.com

Mistake #1: Quantity over Quality

Contrary to popular belief, the number of followers on Twitter is not a direct measure of success. Balance quantity and quality for best results.

Mistake #2: Auto-Follow Back

While it’s nice to reciprocate, automatically following everyone who follows you results in a lot of spam and makes it difficult to interact meaningfully.

Mistake #3: Auto Direct Messaging

Make real connections, not automated ones. Don’t sound desperate!

Mistake #4: Not Customising Your Page

Create a great first impression. Customize your background and profile.

Mistake #5: Taking Extended Breaks

Don’t leave your audience hanging when you have to

be away from Twitter.

Mistake #6: The Same Time Each Day

Mix it up and connect with your followers in different time zones.

Mistake #7: Not Responding to @s

Twitter labels the @ mentions tab as “Connect” for a reason. Connect with your audience that is

already talking to you.

Mistake #8: No Personality Tweets

No corporate smugness required. Have fun and show personality in your tweets.

Mistake #9: Stingy with Retweets

Share the love and share great tweets with your followers. It builds connections and brings great stuff to your audience.

Mistake #10: Taking vs. Giving

It may sound cliché, but stop worrying about Twitter can give you and instead think about what you can give Twitter. It comes back manifold.
