I of course forgot to send another. I just noticed she is on Twitter with only  34 followers, at least that was what she had before I shouted her out to my feed.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of sending her another email, I&#8217;m going to blog the advice. I don&#8217;t have a twitter ebook or product to sell, although I do offer a consultation and training service.<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The trick is to squeeze your personality into 140 characters<\/li>\n<li>People follow other people for themselves, not for you, give them something to follow<\/li>\n<li>Be opinionated, but be real.<\/li>\n<li>\nDon&#8217;t hold back on alienating 20% of people when the 80% will love you for it.<\/li>\n<li>\nDon&#8217;t get baited into arguments by numpties (I constantly fail at this one)<\/li>\n<li>\nMake your avatar high contrasting, use hard tones rather than soft ones<\/li>\n<li>Get people to drop your twitter link into blog articles, there is a way of doing that but that&#8217;s for later.<\/li>\n<li>\nTouch on controversial, strong emotional issues, you don&#8217;t have to take a stand just ask a question. Only works when you have a lot of followers, as I have done <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/lyndoman\/status\/2565281508\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\n It&#8217;s not an empty question as I was very interested in the response and if anyone was sympathetic to them I would defollow and block them.<\/li>\n<li>Provide useful information to your niche<\/li>\n<li>Define what your niche is and isn&#8217;t, the narrower you go the more power you will have.<\/li>\n<li>Ignore anyone who calls themselves an expert. Don&#8217;t buy or sign up to any twitter scheme.<\/li>\n<li>\nThe number of twitter followers is not really important, it&#8217;s the type of people who are following you and if they actually read your tweets that are important.<\/li>\n<li>\nConsider that your tweets may not be for your followers but for future clients.<\/li>\n<li>Whatever you tweet stays tweeted forever. Some people tweet about the boy who just dumped then or how they managed to convince their Granny to move into a nursing home so they can get the house. Not a good idea. The whole world can access your tweets forever.<\/li>\n<li>\nYou can follow thousands, you can follow one. Doesn&#8217;t really matter, it depends on how you want to use the tool and your objective.<\/li>\n<li>\nUse tweetdeck if you are hardcore.<\/li>\n<li>\nGet addicted to tweeting only if there is an ROI, remember, define your objective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Obviously there is more stuff to suggest and a lot of it is connected with the wider subject of online networking. I find the concept of creating social networks online fascinating and love to consult on the issue. I also train companies and individuals in this area.<\/p>\n<p>If you need further help and can afford my enormous fee of \u00a3150 per hour for a phone consult. But only if you are not a Numpty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My old Pal Chrysula ask me how to get ahead in Twitter.
