11. Tweet little but often – most tweeters are creatures of habit & tend to tweet at the same time every day

12. Don’t use auto-DM’s – tweeting is about person to person not robot to person engagement

13. Only approx 15% of your followers are using twitter at any one time – so you can repeat (some) tweets

14. Be a good (relevant) retweeter if you expect to get any retweets yourself – it takes time

15. Too much noise in your twitter stream? Options – use a follower clean-up tool e.g. @twitcleaner

16. Only 2 minutes spare today? Build lists of your followers so you only see the most important tweets

17. Do you have a social media policy? If not, frankly, why not? Lots here http://bit.ly/y39JHb

18. Ask your followers what they want to see on your blog – answer their questions, not yours…

19. Stuck in a rut? If you usually tweet in the morning, mix it up & try the evening/weekend/afternoon

20. Extend your reach: always mention another person/business using their twitter name

If you like them, why not share them (Like it? Share it! button to your left);-)

4. Spread out your ‘info’ tweets using a scheduling app such as @bufferapp to reach different audiences

5. What does your bio say about you/your business? Dry and dull or vibrant and approachable?

6. It’s called ‘social’ media – get social/engage, don’t bombard followers with business messages all the time

7. When did you last actively look for relevant followers? Go to twitter.com, ‘who to follow’ & get searching!

8. Use Twitter for lead generation – go to twitter.com/search & run advanced searches to find your target market

9. Use Twitter to develop media contacts – pretty much every journalist is here, find the ones for your industry
