Has anyone had real success with twitter?? here are a few of my observations.
1 started using twitter maybe 3 months ago with 2 accounts and have 800 followers combined.
1. don't use a standard background, make it unique. use your logo and/ or background color etc.
2. what i do is search for terms similar to my niche and find people who are talking about those topics. i reply to them and then follow them.
3. if i blog about something, add a video, i also twitter about it.
4. i will at most only follow 200 people in one day. my account was banned temporarily when i first started because i went over. u can follow 200 or 10% of your followers. you can use tweepular.com to auto unfollow. you can use tweepular.com to auto follow as well but it will not be targeted followers.
5. if you are lazy to post everyday, u might be interested in
http://twitterfeed.com/. it will automatically post tweets for you via a feed of your choice. so either find feeds or create your own. u can take your blog's feed and add it here. this way it will post your blogs automatically.
6. i started my first twitter account one month ahead of the other and my second twitter account is catching up in the amount of followers. my second twitter account deals with more entertaining and humorous content. so, you'll get more followers if you make your tweets entertaining and interesting.
7. if you just keep posting, it's not going to help gain followers. to be successful, you need to interact with other tweeters.
please share your twitter tips.
