100 Twitter Secrets

# 1 Invest some forethought into your Twitter username (15 characters or less); short, memorable, relevant, personable, and easy to spell are good guidelines. You will also be able to associate a 20 character (max) REAL NAME with your username. If you are a local business or if you use an 800# free recorded message service, it may be possible to incorporate that phone number in the real name. You could also categorize what you do as part of your real name. This is a very visible part of the Twitter system, chose wisely. EXAMPLE, I could use the following: Username = dhollings Real name = Dan H (800) 633-9638 -or- Real name = Dan (Mr. Universe) -or- Real name = Dan (Web Strategy) -or- Real name = Dan (Marketing Help) -or- Real name = DanHollings.com Imagine if you did a lot of local Twittering (Twitter does allow you to target geographical areas) and your real name was: Joe (Great Plumber) - no, not "Joe THE Plumber." That would stick in the often underused "Tweet-lobe" within the brain of many people as they saw your name in the Twitter timeline daily. One day, someone's hot water heater starts leaking and guess who they are looking for? One additional insider secret, is to secure a common username across multiple social networks (even if you can't set them all up right away). Use this Username tool to help you achieve this.

#2 Secure additional Twitter accounts to cover other key "usernames" that might be associated with your business, products, services or Twitter uses.

# 3 Brainstorm categories of use in which a Twitter account may be beneficial to your business. (Customer support, Inner office communication, branding, consumer tips, To Do list, Event Updates, Polling, Traffic generation etc). Reserve accounts for each category.

#4 Create a public Twitter index page on Twitter that provides sitemap-like linkage to all your Twitter accounts. Include a link to your Twitter index page on your web site, blog and other Twitter pages. TWITTER SITEMAP EXAMPLE: http://twitter.com/site_map

# 5 Make certain there is a dedicated person to update each Twitter account you plan to maintain. A Twitter page where rigor mortis has set in does little to help your business and a lot to make you look like a zombie.
