audience in an instance and jump in any trending
conversations that are being carried out about
any event happening anywhere in the world

balances opinion on trends and interact diligently
with your followers and strangers.

CONVERSATIONS?
JUST DO IT!
 Never be afraid to jump in a twitter

any conversation, that you can see happening, are
open for you to join.

help in building a positive conversation; dive in.

but there are chances that people in the
conversation might start following you.

SHARING
 Tweet links to articles, interesting blog posts and
infographics when possible.
 But don’t overdo it. Sharing information on
twitter is good, but doing it every second or
minute is spam.

TWITTER PERSONA
 There are a myriad of paid and unpaid auto follow,
un-follow, auto dm tools available.
 Your twitter account is your personality and you
aren’t a bot ; unless you auto reply, of course.
 Be as genuine as possible and connect with people
personally without those pushy sales tweets.

COMPLEMENTING AND
CRITICIZING
• Complimenting works better than blatant criticism
on twitter.
• Never forget to complement if someone tweets
some great link, a status update or any multimedia.
