Twitter Tips






                 Below is a listing of our top 10 favorite Twitter tips and tricks. These tips help make your Twitter experience more enjoyable and can help increase your followers.
Customize

           Change your profile picture. Use a picture of yourself to make it seem more personalized if this is your personal Twitter account. Utilize as much of the 160-character limit Twitter BIO space allows. Include keywords your followers or potential followers may be trying to find.Create a background image. However, do not make the image too much like an ad or sales pitch. The background image must be less than 800 k and we recommend a size of 1600x1200 for a large image or smaller if you plan on tiling the image or just having it on the left-hand side. Finally, keep in mind that smaller resolutions and monitor sizes hide much of the background.
Third-party tools

              Take advantage of the hundreds of different third-party online tools and services that enhance your Twitter experience. Below are a few of our favorites. Manageflitter - Fantastic site for managing your followers and getting an overview of people not following you back, quiet users, and inactive users.

Below are just a few tips that can help improve your search capabilities on Twitter.Search for your website or blog URL and see if others are mentioning your page.Search for anything near you by adding near:"city state". For example, typing near:"Salt lake city Utah" club would return current tweets that have happened in Salt Lake City, Utah with the keyword club in them.Find people whom you may enjoy following by searching for keywords that interested you. If you do not want tweets with links add ? -filter:links at the end of your search query. Need more options, use the Advanced Twitter search.

For those with the old Twitter interface, these results can then be found under "Saved Searches" on the right-hand part of your profile. For those with the new interface, they are under the "Searches" tab next to your timeline.

Followers

                     Computer Hope Twitter FollowersTwitter is not all about who can get the most followers. But there are many tips you can do to help get more followers and keep the followers you already have.

Engage followers.



         Do not follow too many people. No one wants to follow someone following thousands of people with only 10 followers.

Retweet interesting posts.

              Retweet and participate in conversations with people with lots of followers.Realize it is impossible for anyone to read every tweet.When first joining do not follow hundreds of people, doing this may mark you as a bot.

Create useful and interesting tweets

Try to make all your tweets informative, useful, or funny. Do not post mundane posts, e.g. eating a bowl of cereal. Add hashtags to your tweets. For example, if your tweet is about computers, consider adding #computer in the tweet. Tweet frequently. No one is going to follow someone they do not know who has not tweeted in months. Try to tweet a few times a week or daily if you can manage. Do not whine or complain. Most people unfollow anyone who constantly whines or complains. Try to make your valuable tweets during the times people will most likely see them.Keep some space available in your tweet in case someone retweets your post.

Use special characters in your tweets.
