Using Twitter Features For Business

Twitter is one of the leading social networks, social bookmarks and microblogging site in the social media. But how to use twitter plus its features as a whole in for business, company and brand building, marketing and promotions may be the question. This post shows using twitter features for business

THE TWITTER BIOGRAPHY

Briefly describe yourself and what your profession is like. It acts like a business card on twitter and remember to indicate your website if you have any so that one may click on the link to find more. The biography will help to market your business, personality and even brand not only on Twitter but the entire internet.

FOLLOWERS

These are people that believe that you are the right person to be followed from what they see as tweet or status update and from the biography itself. Try to follow them back and give them a token of thanks with a link to your company or business website. Engage with them on Twitter so that you can lay strategies for your Twitter business.

THE ONE YOU ARE FOLLOWING

These are people, businesses, companies and brands that you do follow in order to get updates (tweets) from them. It’s a good Twitter habit to follow brands, companies, people, business that help, uphold and follow in the same category as yours. Try to follow as many as you can but pick out a few so that you can carry out real time Twitter engagement and activity with them. It will help to build, market and set credibility and reputation for business, company and personality on Twitter.

 THE TWITTER SEARCH

Search for twitter accounts, topics and # (hash) tags in your niche industry. You can save your search if you want and use for it for future reference for your business, company and brand.

NB: Tweets in form of updates will multiply from your searched results.

THE TWITTER TIMELINE

It shows updates that come from your followers and the people that you are following. This may be in form of tweets, mentions and RTS. Remember that these may carry links to final destination of a business or company or an article site. This helps you to get informed through videos, news products, and articles among others that will help sustain your business, brand and company.

 THE TWITTER LISTS

Twitter has a feature that helps one to categorize and organiser his or her followers and those he or she follows (following) into lists. You can create a list of family members and friends, directors and competitors. In future you will not have to search for these guys but use the lists created.

THE TWITTER MENTIONS @sami32

This may be as a result of a reply (comment) from your tweet or someone is writing on your Twitter wall. By clicking on the mentions you are able to monitor and evaluate your personality, business, and company as you get to be recognised hence growing reputation on Twitter.

THE TWITTER HAS TAG (#)

From the name tag, it helps to tag keywords of topics in your tweets like #internetmarketingcourse for #newbies

NB: Do not space if more than one word. It can be used to bring more emphasis on a topic and you can use it when searching for a topic in Twitter.
