Building Your Twitter Network
So you’ve just started on Twitter and your network is really not building as fast as you would of liked – remember Twitter is a networking building tool. Here are a few ideas:
- Follow interesting people. To find these people, there is Twellow, a Twitter search that allows you to search by name, profession or interest. Another resource is Mr. Tweet which helps you in searching relevant followers.
- Did you know that you can have Twitter search your Google, Yahoo, AOL accounts? Just go to Find People, then Find on other networks. This is much easier than searching individually.
- Join in the conversation. This one is so important. Follow the conversations of those you are following and join in. You can use TweetLater to find tweets on certain keywords similar to those Google Alerts you are receiving. For example, if you are a business coach specializing in emotional intelligence, search emotional intelligence and begin to follow those individuals and join in their conversations.
- And lastly and most important, be sure you have your profile posted on Twitter as well as linking to your website or blog. This will allow people see who you are, what you are interested in and what you are posting before they begin to follow you.
