Tweet or Follow What is Your Social Plan?
Do you Tweet? If you don’t, chances are you know someone who does. Twitter is a social media platform that allows 140 character messages (Tweets). I have been using Twitter for just over a year now, and found I need a “social plan” to use Twitter effectively for my needs. If you don’t have a plan, you will find yourself sucked in to reading hours of tweets that will leave you with an empty feeling and asking yourself why you signed up for a Twitter account in the first place.
How I use Twitter:
I don’t follow everyone who follows me. I’m not interested in your MLM scheme, I dont need credit repair tips, and Im not looking for you to tell me how great you are and how you can make me; (pick one) rich, in shape, a better lover, more successful, etc.
I do follow people who are REAL, who ask questions, (and reply if I answer their question). I follow people who are experts in their field, and offer tips/ideas, that I can apply to my life or business. I also follow local businesses, and people I find interesting. There are plenty of local businesses on Twitter looking to connect with new, and existing customers, and you will often find Twitter Only specials. I also follow a few of my favorite celebrities, and sports players. It’s interesting to see what they are thinking and whats happening in their life.
If you find yourself scrolling over tweets to find something more interesting, that’s probably a sign you need you unfollow people who no longer captivate you.
