With all the buzz about Twitter these days, many bloggers are looking to this new social media site as a means to market themselves. Most bloggers have the primary goal of attracting a loyal audience of readers, and Twitter is rapidly becoming one of the most popular gathering places on the Web. If bloggers can learn to make the most of this powerful new tool, they can reach out to a whole new audience and attract more traffic fast.
As a blogger, the way you format your Twitter home page and present yourself on the site can make a significant difference in the type of attention you attract. To make the most from your Twitter account, follow these simple tips:
1.??? Personalize your page
. People are only interested in what you have to say if they care about you in the first place.? Put a face with your name and use a real picture of yourself, not a cartoon, avatar, or random stock photo.? Use the description box to tell readers about yourself. Advertise your strengths in all their glory!
2.??? Use attention-grabbing Tweets. Saying something like, "I've got a new post up, check it out here" is not likely to capture your follower's attention. Summarizing the blog content or simply telling people to go to your page is not enough - instead, tweet a crazy line, random fact, or interesting statement from your blog as a teaser and then provide the link.
3.??? Encourage reader involvement.? Ask a "question of the day" or run a reader poll. Twitter is so addictive to users because of its interactive qualities. When you can get your readers involved, they'll be inclined to keep coming back for more.
