So you finally gave in and joined Twitter. Congrats!
OK, now what? You know what they say…
“If a twitterer tweets in a forest and nobody is around to retweet it, does it make a tweet?”
Probably not. So let’s go find some people for you to follow
(they’ll probably follow you back).
Now that you have a following, you might be tempted to start broadcasting how the world desperately needs your services. Stop!
May I suggest you take either of two paths:
-
Sit back and lurk . Don’t tweet – just watch. Do that for a really long time.
When you are ready to issue your first tweet,
if it starts with “I am…” Stop! Go back to lurking for another month.
-
Make your first 100 tweets about someone else.
Yeah, about THEM not YOU.
Try making 100 comments about how good someone else is, or how interesting they are, or how you like their new avatar.
Of course if your tweet starts with “I am…” you can continue with “…totally in love with your new avatar!” – it’s the exception to the rule.
Now go out and start connecting with real people! Oh and don’t forget to ReTweet this post!
