Twitter is a great tool that can help you build your business online. It has real-time communication capabilities that make it too good to ignore.
In the world of Twitter, you will meet people with different levels of skills and communication. That is why it is very important that you connect with the people you want to associate with and you need to find a way to establish a relationship with these people. Twitter can help you with that.
Read on and let’s find out some way on how we can network using Twitter.
Let people know what you want to talk about
The first facet of tweeting that you should focus on is showing people what interests you.
This can be done through your bio (putting information that will help tell your visitors what interests you) and through the content of your tweets. You can also share your conversations by using hash tags on your tweets. You can also customize your Twitter lists to show who you care about.
This is the most important facet of tweeting and spending time and focus on your profile and tweets will help reflect what your interests are and this will help attract the people you want to interact with.
shoot someone
A lot of Twitter newbies don’t know where to start in terms of connecting; you can greet someone in your network to start a conversation. You can mention them for #FollowFriday by saying something nice about the person. Always include your Twitter ID. An alternative is to publicly mention how much you appreciate that person.
Show the people that you hear them
When you show people that you really listen to their conversations, they in turn will become interested in you and eventually become your followers. A great way to show that you listen to people is to provide links to their conversations. Your conversations can be anything from personal (birthdays, anniversaries) to the most intellectually charged, like LinkedIn questions or business blog posts.
Tweet with content to start conversations
Once you have someone following you or in your network, it’s time to start a real conversation. The best way to do this is by asking stimulating questions.
Introduce people to other people within your network
This is a great way to help other people increase their associations. As you get on with Twitter, you’ll meet more and more people who share similar interests as you. Introduce them to other members of your network. They will pay more attention to you and will eventually do the same for you.
So there you have it. 5 ways that can help you get more connections for your business through Twitter. If you want to make the connection more personal, take it a step further by calling that person via chat or Skype. It is always a good step for something new.
