'“No one can deny the fact Twitter is the best marketing tool, you just need to know 'how to use it effectively and create an attractive profile.” wrote Harsh in a recen't post about twitter. I believe this more true than ever as seriousness on twitt'er increases, giving us more and more quality conversations and targeted traffi'c.
The 'problem of doing such effective marketing on Twitter is a very obvious one: How can 'I scale my genuine appearance twitter, without becoming a “auto-everything” bot?'
Here 'are 3 simple steps follow, to stay genuine, yet become efficient at the same time:'
1.) Scale your int'eraction – genuinely
We all love the interact'ion we get twitter. Be it, when someone retweets our posts, cc’s us in a tweet or sim'ply hits us up with a good old mention. If you wish to create that feeling amongst ot'hers more often, so you can build a stronger community, there are a few very sim'ple things you can do.
- Make RT’s persona'l: The best tool to do that is Tweetdeck’s edit before retweet” function. Adding yo'ur personal note at t beginning of a retweet, not only shows your interaction wit'h the initial tweet, it also shows further proof fr your followers that this is' good content.
- Mention the auth'or: Whenever you link to a good article you hve read, many people oversee the p'ossibility to mention the author’s name. It only takes you a split second to do th'at, however you are actively engging with the blogger and giving them credit' for their work
- Add CC’s: Whenev'er you tweet or retweet something and you associate the topic with one of your fol'lowers, why not simply cc them? Get a discussion going and create a comm'unity around your twitter account
2.) Create cons'istency on your Twitterstream
If you want the above' to be happening in a highly optimized way, let me introduce you to Buffer. By simp'ly spendig 10 minutes with Buffer you can create a consistent timeline for a whole d'ay.
Other than the Hoo'tsuites, SocialOomphs and Twaitter scheduling functions out there, it gives you a' new intui\tive solution to plan out your timeline – genuinely, yet very efficiently.'
All you do is add tweets to 'your queue in Buffer right from your browser every time you come across interestin'g con'tent you want to share. If your Buffer is topped up with tweets, Buffer will tw'eet for you at pre-set times during the day. Of course you are able to adjust these tim'es if you wish.
How to best use it'?,
Whilst you are reading the news in the morning Buffer comes in very handy. If you come across something y'ou like, hit the Buffer icon via the Chrome Extension and add it to your queue of twee,ts in Buffer. Edit the tweet right at that moment or just take the suggested tweet together with the shortened link. Here is how it looks if you add a post to your Buffer:,

3.) Use multiplier's
Finally, if you really wa'nt to go deep into discussing topics on twitter a very good option that pays off with' lots of new, auth,entic followers are TwitterChats. You can decide to spend one hour a week joining in ,an established discussion group. The most awesome list of differen't Twitter chats is this one. Find an area that interests you and start talking. You' won’t even notice, that you are actually enlarging your follower significantly.,'
I hope you find these ti,ps useful!''
