This post will highlight 8 ways to engage on Twitter. These are 8 easy actions that will not only help you tweet well, but more so take a tweet and leverage engagement and connections from that tweet in an authentic and fun way.
#1 Use first names
By using first name in a tweet you are immediately personalizing your tweet. Check your @mentions daily and respond to people by name. If someone RT’s (retweets) one of your tweets, go to their profile and check to see if they have a ‘real’ name listed (if not part of their twitter username). Use first names. It’s worth the effort!
#2 Give Compliments
If you see something great about the person, let them know. A simple gesture only takes a moment. And sometimes you meet really cool people during the ‘engagement’ afterwards.
#3 Make Lists
Twitter lists are an excellent way to group people and brands you love to follow – you can easily sort through your stream to address important valuable tweets.
#4 Follow Up on Lists that you are added to by someone else
This is another way that a simple Tweet can lead to something more. If you are added to a List you can see it: a) in your newsfeed and b) in your List section (under Member Of). If someone adds you to a list, thank them! You never know where it might lead!
#5 Schedule Content
You can’t and shouldn’t be on Twitter 24/7, so give yourself a break and schedule relevant posts, but just be sure to watch your responses carefully.
#6 Acknowledge New Followers
Send a personalized ‘hello’ or engage with a new follower’s recent tweet instead of sending automated direct messages to the users. Acknowledgement helps to connect directly with the new follower.
#7 Share great Content
If someone has worked on a blog post or piece of writing, the very act of sharing and acknowledging it means the world. So never underestimate how much it can mean for you to take a couple of seconds and share a post with your network, no matter how big or small it is. Sharing is caring in every sphere in this space.
#8 Personalize Your Profile
Complete your profile and make it interesting, followers want to know who you are, what you do and where you’re from. Keep the information real and authentic.
