Twitter is quickly becoming the micro-blogging tool of choice by social network users. You can tweet from your laptop, desktop or mobile smartphone. Its a convenient, easy fun method of answering the question, "What are you doing?"
I first got caught up with Twitter about 11 months ago. A friend of mine suggested it to me, and I must admit, I wasn't that impressed with it at first. It seemed to be a mindless question that couldn't possibly generate additional conversation.
But, that was before I really began to understand the genesis of the question. Its not just about "what are you doing," but more what interesting is going on in the world around you and how are you interacting with those things. That's where conversations are borne and grow.
Twitter is communication with individuals who want to engage with your thoughts or you with their thoughts. Having a lot of followers is perceived as having Twitter Power.
Since Twitter Power is something you want and may not have, here are 8 ways to get more Twitter Power:
- Engage in conversations with people. Don't just offer mindless banter, tweet stuff that makes sense and show a slice of your personality.
- Read other twitterers tweets (try saying that 10 times real fast!)-- learn from the best, and mimic their behavior and not their content. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, learn from the successful wheels already in place.
- Use an awesome desktop application like TweetDeck. Some say that TweetDeck is the most powerful Twitter applications available. Think of it as Twitter pimped out and on steroids. Click here for a great tutorial on using TweetDeck to its full capacity.
- Recently I stumbled upon Mr. Tweet. Mr. Tweet is a fine Twitter tool that recommends followers to you, who you should be following relevant to your profile information and who is following you. Mr. Tweet will generally recommend 237 new followers per week that are relevant to your niche. Check it out here.
- Another good tool to use if Mr. Tweet intimidates you, is Twhirl. Twhirl also allows you to post pics using Twitpic as well as you can search retweets within to determine what is resonating with your followers. What is on their minds. This is a free Firefox add-on.
- If you are into add-ons, then just install the Firefox TwitterBar add-on and post tweets directily from your address search bar. You can tweet and surf just as you would use the StumbleUpon toolbar. A quick and easy way to post tweets.
- I also use Twitpic and post photos from my mobile phone. Suppose I'm out somewhere and I see something absolutely fabulous? I can use Twitpic to post to my phone in a matter of seconds.
- Integrate your web life with Twitter. If you intend to make Twitter a prominent piece of your internet marketing agenda, then you should place Twitter follow links on your page. It makes sense, and is a great way to passively gain more Twitter followers.
