Good solid guidelines, Travis. Participation is really the key, and tweeting frequently (but not too frequently) ~10-20x a day. And when people engage you, you’ve got to be responsive. It’s a two-way street. (Just look out for the spammy types, but they’re pretty easy to spot.)

Well stated Phil. Reminds me of the sage words of wisdom, “Be quick to listen, slow to speak…” Most of us were given 2 ears and one mouth for a reason, right?

Good points Travis. I might add one thing that I think helps those who are new to Twitter. Start out using it as a listening post, and follow some of the influencers in their chosen area. Newbies can learn a lot by listening and observing – I know I did. ;-)

Interesting. Is there a source for this stat, or are you speaking more off the top of your head (which is fine too).

I hear tell that anymore than one link per day dramatically reduces conversions
I was taught 1 in 4 also, so split test is needed if I can’t remember that source

Step 2 talks about content. Twitter user’s use it to follow celebs 25% get news 25% socialize 25% and market products, boredom and other make the final 25%

You are not alone on that. Personally not a fan of divisive dialogues online, they never go anywhere good. That includes foul language and the like. Thanks for chiming in.

Great tips Travis! I think one thing that articles like yours overlooks is the ‘shock factor’ that some people are looking to create. In attempts to shock their audience they use lude/crude comments/curse words. I guess it really depends on what they are trying to accomplish. I may read a post from start to finish, but if it has anything questionable in it such as curse words or lude/crude comments I will most likely NOT retweet it. It is not my desire to offend people and I try to be careful about what I retweet. Does anyone else have a comment on this? Am I alone on this one?

Thanks for saying so John. Twitter is still as viable as it was back when this post was originally written over 2 years ago. Thanks for sharing.
