Keep personal and professional tweets separate

Don’t use your personal tweeter account for the promotion of your business and professional twitter account to send personal messages. Its better you create two different accounts to keep confusion away. Personal tweets can have bad impact on your follower connected with you for some business.

Don’t make it a sales platform

Remember you are using twitter to inform people about you, not forcing them to buy your products. Don’t make it a sales platform by sending sales pitch again and again, because it will not get you followers but force them to run away.

Use it as a point where you can converse with your followers.

You should not just update your tweets but should re-tweet on others as well so that people can come to know that you are interested in their tweets. If someone re-tweets on your tweets give reply of that.

Meet the expectations of followers

By saying meeting with the expectations mean give the followers and visitors what they want. For example you are reading this to know about the use of twitter for promotion and here if I start talking about its personal use, you will not visit it again. Same thing is with twitter. Feed the visitors by giving them useful information and quality content.

Don’t use it as a tool to feed only

If you are using RSS feed to give your followers updates and daily feed, don’t assume that your work is done. Twitter is a social networking site and it’s important that you make your presence noticed by visiting it, responding to tweets and reading others’ tweets.

Feedback

You should not forget to ask your friends and followers about the feedback on your content, blogs and articles. This will help you bring the changes to make your account more result driven.

Use advertisements but skillfully

You can use ads on twitter but you need to do it cleverly. Your followers should not feel that they are being forced to buy your products. Their come to your site with their own wish and if they are forced they will soon un-follow you. So use advertisement in wise way instead of pressurizing someone.

It’s not important that you always talk about your posts and articles. You can provide links of other blogs and articles also which may be of followers use. This will bring them back to your site again and again in search of good posts.
