8 Tips on How to Successfully Use Twitter

8 Tips to Use Twitter Successfully


RISMEDIA, May 27, 2010--Social media is here to stay and everyone is using social networking sites such a Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. If you're worried about how to best use Twitter, propertyadguru.com's offers the following tips for real estate agents who are looking to get the most out of Twitter.

1. Understand what Twitter is and plan before you tweet. Twitter is about posting short updates of less than 140 characters. It's all about telling your followers what you're doing, so be sure to look closely at examples of how others use it before you begin.

2. Every word matters. You only have 140 characters-think carefully about how you choose to spend them.

3. Personalize your Twitter account, but keep it professional. Make sure to think business and include all your relevant contact details in your profile, choose a relevant name, add a photo, include a short bio and make new friends or follow other relevant businesses.

4. Tweet. You can't just sit there-you need to be active. Twitter is social, so be sure to participate, and find your Twitter voice.

5. You need to be followed, and follow. Remember, it's about quality, not quantity. There's no point having the most followers if they're not remotely interested in what you're doing.

6. Think big and be creative with your tweets. No one will care much for hearing about what you ate for lunch, but they might be keen to know you sealed a big deal, or have a great new property for sale. Whatever you tweet should be newsworthy.

7. Don't overdo it. Think about the frequency of your posts. Nobody likes a spammer and the aim is to keep your social network alive and expand it through Twitter.

8. Learn the Twitter commands. Using the @ symbol before someone's username is a reply and the user will receive notification. Using the # means it is tweet about a certain topic or event. You also have the facility to send and receive direct messages that don't show as a public tweet.
