4. Have a purpose and establish goals. Why are you on Twitter?
5. Appeal to curiosity. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it definitely captures the click. Leading or strange headlines get attention. Just be careful that leading folks to a dead end is not a good idea. Back up your curious headlines with great, engaging content.
6. Market in the moment. Use trending topics to your advantage.
7. Custom photos will help you stand out.
8. Don’t get lost in the crowd. Twitter is a busy highway. You need to post your message multiple times for it to be seen. Don’t worry about being repetitive and always remember you can draft the same tweet many different ways and say the same thing without being completely repetitive.
9. Use Twitter’s advanced search feature.
10. Utilise tools and apps to help your Twitter experience. There’s a tool called SocialBro that can match your own customer emails with Twitter users and then analyse the geographic data. Another app called Tweriod lets you know when your followers are posting on Twitter. Other apps can help you aggregate, post to multiple channels, or schedule posts. Investigate different tools and see which ones are right for you.
