At first, you feel a little weird tweeting. You think everyone is going to read it…
until you realize no one is going to read it because you don’t have any followers yet. The
biggest question you have, and rightly so is, what do I tweet about?
Rest assured everyone feels that way when they start out on Twitter. In fact,
without looking at the number of updates a person has, you can usually tell if someone is new
to Twitter. Their tweets sound tentative and directed at no one in particular.
Instead, form a bold plan and hop right on the Twitter train. Here are some
beginner examples to get you started:
Tweet #1:
“Yes, I’m new to Twitter. Get over it… I have. ”
(Option B is to not mention being new at all - start with #2)
#2:
(Tell what you’re doing) “Right now I’m setting up another WP blog about
________.”
#3:
(Again tell what you’re doing) “I just finished writing the outline & intro to my
newest ebook. I can’t wait to get it out there; I think it will answer a lot of questions.” (No
links in post)
#4:
(Ask a question) “I’m not liking my WP theme. Anyone care to share links to their
favorite free WP themes?”
#5:
Retweet someone else’s tweet, being sure to put the @ in front of their name. “RT
@TerryBrother Quote Tip: Want your #quote to be easily RT’d? Make it ~120 characters
leaving room 4 others 2 add RT & your @name”
#6:
@Reply to a tweet.
If you can give help to someone, all the better. The sooner you start showing your
expertise in your niche, the better.
Now start following people you respect in your niche(s).
#7:
@Reply to another tweet.
