Twitter and Brand Building January 15, 2009
Posted by simarprit in : Microblogging, SEO, Twitter , add a commentJust attended a session on Twitter and Brand Building. Some quick takeaways:
- Define and document who do you want to be seen as
- Define and document “who all” (you desire) see you around
- Be simple and upfront
- Let your tweets add value
- Never Spam
- Never pile on
- Remember you are in a cloud – be proactive, but don’t be pushy
- No bursts of tweets – regular, routine, habit forming approach is better. You’ve belong to the community and not be a guest.
- Communication is important. If you are communicating, you are listening and talking, you are reacting and agreeing, reacting and disagreeing. In short participation is important
- Have a precise profile
