5 Things You Can Do On Twitter Now
A client of mine said to me a few months ago: “I don’t understand how to accomplish anything on Twitter. You only get 140 characters to say what you want to say. I can’t even say hello in 140 characters!”
While 140 characters may seem restrictive, it helps us get right to the point in our twits and share information and value with our followers.
Here are 5 things you can do right now on Twitter – it will help you share your expertise, help others and provide value to your followers:
– Share A Tip. In order to get clients on Twitter you want to be seen as an expert, it is as simple as that. And in order to be seen as an expert, you must promote your expertise. I wrote a whole blog post on promoting your expertise on Twitter, so read it for more information on promoting your expertise on Twitter.
When you share tips in your field of knowledge, you are seen as an expert, someone who has a lot of knowledge in a particular area.
Action to take: share a tip and build your expert status!
– Answer A Question. Take a look at your Twitter stream (a stream of what all of your Twitter friends are saying). Some of your friends are asking questions, looking for recommendations and needed help. Pay it forward and answer a question to which you know the answer!
Action to take now: read your Twitter stream and look for questions that people ask. When you see a question you can respond to, do so!
– Share Something Non-Business Related. Remember, people like to do business with people they know, like and trust. Help your followers to get to know you better by sharing something about you.
Did you see a good movie over the weekend? Read a good book? Cooked something tasty? Don’t keep it all to yourself – share with others!
Action to take now: share one fun non-business related thing!
– Ask For A Recommendation. Have you been looking for a web designer for a while? Do you need someone to review your sales letter? Are you looking for coach? Do you have a project that had to be done three months ago, but
Twitter is a great place to ask for recommendations – ask your followers to recommend someone to help you get something done in your business!
Action to take now: find out what kind of vendor you are looking for and ask for a recommendation!
– Share A Recommendation. Did someone on Twitter provide you with exceptional service? Do you enjoy articles that one of your Twitter friends writes? Is there a blog that you want to recommend?
Don’t keep this to yourself – share! By doing so you will provide referrals to the person you are recommending and you will enrich the lives of people who will follow your recommendations! Win-win-win for everyone.
Action to take now: Make a recommendation!
