Tips On Becoming the Ultimate Twitter User

Twitter, as bloggers know and notice, is a very powerful online marketing tool as well as a traffic generator. Twitter's member count is humongous! Everyone online is getting their Twitter accounts up and running already. Should you be left behind?

Here is a list of tips to guide you on becoming the ultimate Twitter user.

Tip # 1: Upload the best image you got and get a nice theme

But what image attracts more followers? Keep in mind that bloggers are still human, not robots, and most of us would prefer seeing a face rather than Barney in the profile picture or thumbnail picture. But if you are too shy to show your face, upload something relevant to your blog. An ad-like image could work. For the theme, you can choose from the default selection. Changing the background and colors is optional. Though it is always best to be unique in design.

Tip # 2: Add followers to infinity

The purpose here is to benefit from the Twitter community. What will you get with 10 followers? A little but not enough or none at all. Just keep on adding more and more followers. Find the pro bloggers (not just Darren of problogger.net) and follow them! Aside from getting their latest tweets, they could also follow you back. So when do you stop? Never? And add me of course!

Tip # 3: Follow back

Keep checking your followers list. If you see accounts who followed you but you've not followed yet, follow them immediately. This is a sign of thanks as well as something one SHOULD do when being followed. I followed Unique Blog Designs the other day then they followed me the next day. I like that.

Tip # 4: Talk, but not too much

In other ways, be active in your account. Don't be shy. You are not restricted to things very work-related only. It is usual to see some Hi's, Good morning's and anything else personal on the homepage. And they're not irritating unless you've said Hi ten times. Oh yeah, don't spam. Spammers are hated in every walk of life, Twitter included. Make tweets but don't overdo it. You may fill up another account's homepage. And you get un-followed next. Another thing, don't be foul-mouthed. Be sensitive. Some may be okay with bad words, but some just aren't. So be on the safe side of things. Always remember that young bloggers also exist.

Tip # 5: Make update tweets for your blogs

Whenever something happens in your blog, like a new post is published, tweet it. That's the purpose, to get traffic. Make your tweet contents very catchy though or else it would just pass by and get nothing.

Tip # 6: Do Tip # 2 again until you think there's nothing more or it's already enough

Once you've gained thousands of followers, you could try on relaxing on Tip # 2 already and maximize your time for Tip # 5. This is the time when Tip # 5 will be at its most effective. Of course, given that you make good tweets. Having 100,000 followers is a very very big plus and advantage. Once you have it, use it!

Final Tips: Find the followers of pro bloggers. Follow them and they'll follow back surely. And always make sure to reply to your @Replies. It's always good to make friendly connections.

Twitter is an epitome of a revolutionized online marketing strategy. We are nearing its full growth (are are we in it already?). It's always good to utilize social media tools such as Twitter to fully establish yourself and your blogs in the blogosphere. This is effective, both theoretical and actual. Tweet now!
