All you have to do is open up and account and log on to it every time you receive or accept a tweet.

The key in using Twitter is to establish friendship with other people, instead of using it as way to attract clients. With the rise of social media marketing, business steadily offers a friendlier atmosphere, rather than an awkward impersonal relationship.

Twitter Builds Client-Dealer Relationships

After using Twitter for a while, you start to know a person and understand his personality better. Thus, you understand what are his priorities, his likes and dislikes, allowing you to serve him better as a potential client.

It is therefore helpful that the stuffs that you post are personal, helpful, and educational. Post tips, how to’s, and your personal thoughts and opinions about certain matters. Don’t bother to post tweets if they are all about ads or sales. People won’t mind reading them, besides, it might come across as a Twitter spam.

Tips for Twitter Beginners

If you are a newbie to Twitter, begin by following guys who interest you, whether you target them as potential customers or simply caught your attention. Use more personal, friendly photos, instead of your business logo. Introduce and share something about yourself, especially to those who follow and want to know something about you. Share your interests or blogs; afterwards, you may also share your products for sale.

But the best thing that you have to remember when tweet is to enjoy it! Have fun with Twitter and you’ll later find yourself tweeting with success.
