Following the Etiquette of Twitter!
All social networking sites have a certain etiquette that you need to follow, and Twitter is no different. Before you commit a Twitter faux-pas be sure to keep these rules in mind:
#1 - Don't be a spam twit. When you post nothing but your blog posts, or posts to your other sites, your followers will lose interest fast. Don't spam your followers. Be sure to talk about something other than yourself so that you don't come across as a spammer.
#2 - Respond to all replies. When someone replies to your message, make sure to respond to them to let them know you got their message. Since messages move so fast on Twitter, especially when you have a lot of followers, it can be difficult to keep up with replies.
#3 - Don't use all caps in your updates. This is one of those general online etiquette tips that applies to Twitter as well.
#4 - Check in from time to time with your account. Don't start a Twitter account only to check in with it every few days or once a week. Make it a part of your daily routine so you can connect with your followers.
#5 - Don't post the same link more than once. If people are really interested in your blog and your links, they'll visit it the first time you post it. You don't need to post your link multiple times.
If these articles have not convinced you that Twitter is a great way to get traffic to your blog, you should try it out yourself. It's free and easy to use.

I could use YOUR VOTE as I have entered the Top 50 MLM Blog Contest this year for the first time. This is the last day to vote. I am doing well but there are some top names in the contest and would like to be able to compete with them. You have to vote (orange triangle) and leave a short comment for it to count.

I like what you mentioned about writing in all caps. It’s funny how I still see how people are still doing this but yet to realize that it’s a form of yelling even though their intentions are not that. Great share!
Thanks Nate. I don’t know if people realize that or not when writing in caps. Have a great holiday. Anita
Great tips!
Thank you Michelle. Thanks for stopping by. Anita
Some great Twitter tips Anita. 🙂
Think I could follow some of them myself. I do know twitter brings in traffic and sales, so I can’t be doing it all wrong.
#5 is a good one, I see SO MANY people posting the same links over and over. Like their feed is all the same post. Think if people don’t see it even after a couple times, what’s the sense?
that is awesome Ron. Keep up the good work. Anita
Great tips and advice Anita. Sharing so that others may see the correct way to do this. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome. Anita
