Share Your Knowledge 85. 86.Newsjack Whats Hot1. Taking advantage of trending news by writing about it as it isbreaking can be a very effective way to inject your brand into theconversation IF it is done in a clever, timely and tasteful manner.The Grammys. The Academy Awards. The Olympics. Special eventslike these are ripe for the picking.For instance, during this years Super Bowl, many brands were playingthe newsjacking game, sharing their quips in real time. 86. 87.Newsjack Whats Hot 87. 88.Newsjack Whats Hot 88. 89.Newsjack Whats Hot 89. 90.Newsjack Whats Hot 90. 91.Newsjack Whats Hot 91. 92.Ask Questions2. Any networker worth his or her salt knows the best way to win overan audience is to show an interest in what others have to say ratherthan to talk about yourself.Ask them anything. The more you ask them questions, the more likelytheyll be trust that youre genuinely interested in their needs, interestsand opinions. The more likely theyll be to do business with you whenthe time comes. 92. 93.Ask Questions 93. 94.Ask Questions 94. 95.Ask Questions 95. 96.Ask Questions 96. 97.Ask Questions 97. 98.Engage With other Brands3. Back in the day, it would have been highly unusual and nearlyimpossible for one brand to talk to another. What would be the point?And without the Internet, there wasnt really a good forum for suchconversation, anyway.Social media changes everything. And today, now that most brandshave the basics of Twitter down, theyre going where no brands havegone before, reaching out to one another for not just casual banter, butstrategically timed engagement. 98. 99.Engage With other Brands 99. 100.Engage With other Brands 100. 101.Engage With other Brands 101. 102.Engage With other Brands 102. 103.Embrace Your Fans4. People follow brands on Twitter for a number of reasons, one ofwhich is for a digital autograph, a change to connect with someone orsomething they adore.One-on-one interaction is ideal. A retweet or a reply goes a long waywith your fans. But if youre too big or too busy to reach out to othersindividually, you can still at least acknowledge those who follow you inone fell swoop and thank them every once in a while. 103. 104.Embrace Your Fans 104. 105.Embrace Your Fans 105. 106.Embrace Your Fans 106. 107.Embrace Your Fans 107. 108.Embrace Your Fans 108. 109.Talk about the Weather5. Whats the one thing people talk about when they have nothing elseto say? The weather! Everyone is interested in the forecast, thetemperature and whether its sunny, raining or snowing outside.The weather is the lowest common denominator of conversation. Its anopportunity for brands to talk about something that has universalappeal. 109. 110.Talk about the Weather 110. 111.Talk about the Weather 111. 112.Talk about the Weather 112. 113.Talk about the Weather 113. 114.Talk about the Weather 114. 115.Talk about the Weather 115. 116.Talk about the Weather 116. 117.Be Responsive6. Given the fact that over 70% of users expect brands to get back tothem on Twitter in under an hour (according to a Lithium Technologiesreport http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2304492/Brands-Expected-to-Respond-Within-an-Hour-on-Twitter-Study), it only makes sense thatthe quicker you respond to those who tag you, the better.Monitor the channel for mentions and questions. Unless theyre trolls,spammers or ridiculously rude people, everyone deserves a timelyresponse. 117. 118.Be Responsive 118. 119.Be Responsive 119. 120.Be Responsive 120. 121.Be Responsive 121. 122.Be Responsive 122. 123.Be Responsive 123. 124.Have a Sense of Humor7. Far too many brands take themselves too seriously on Twitter. Forthem, every single tweet is watered down, devoid of any personalitywhatsoever, never mind a sense of humor. Yet one of the best ways tostand out on this channel is to lighten up every once in a while.Laugh at yourself. Poke fun at others in a harmless, good-naturedway. Dont hesitate to put a smile on the face of your brand. 124. 125.Have a Sense of Humor 125. 126.Have a Sense of Humor 126. 127.Have a Sense of Humor 127. 128.Have a Sense of Humor 128. 129.Have a Sense of Humor 129. 130.Have a Sense of Humor 130. 131.Have a Sense of Humor 131. 132.Give Something Away8. Perhaps the easiest way to stand among the competition for attentionon Twitter is to host a contest or sweepstakes. You dont have tofeature a big prize, either. Anything you have to offer is sure to drawinterest.Make sure you abide by Twitters guidelines, thoughhttps://support.twitter.com/articles/68877-guidelines-for-contests-on-twitter.There are probably more details involved than you realize. But ifyou play by the rules and your prize is desirable, youll likely be delugedwith replies and entries. 132. 133.Give Something Away 133. 134.Give Something Away 134. 135.Give Something Away 135. 136.Give Something Away 136. 137.Give Something Away 137. 138.Be Inspirational9. Whether youre marketing to businesses or consumers, dont forgetthat youre talking to other humans on Twitter. Sure, your ultimateobjective may be to increase lead and sales, but that doesnt happenovernight on Twitter. It happens over time.Start by helping your followers achieve both their personal andprofessional dreams. A little emotion goes a long way toward movingpeople to action and helping them separate the good tweets from thosenot worth their time. 138. 139.Be Inspirational 139. 140.Be Inspirational 140. 141.Be Inspirational 141. 142.Be Inspirational 142. 143.Be Inspirational 143. 144.Share Your Knowledge10.
