Small Business Twitter Tips

As it is bank holiday Monday, I thought I would offer a few, quick tips on Twitter - particularly for small businesses.

• obviously create an account and ensure your name is your real name or company name for when people are searching for you (rather than have your name as your twitter id)
• be personal to show your company and/ or website has real people behind it
• ie: don’t be all corporate because that’s not what it’s about
• follow others in your field to build up your followers list
• don’t just be all self promotional although it helps
• post interesting tweets probably 2-3 times per day
• ask questions on your account to get responses
• have a few people on your twitter account to cover sickness and holidays and if your main twitter person leaves the company you’ll still need to get access

After all the goal is to build up loyal followers so you and your business gets talked about more online. If you have interesting things to say, get people “talking” on your twitter feed and point out interesting facts not only in your space but in the world generally people will value your account and publicise it for you.
