Golden Rule of Twitter

Twitter is all about building personal relationships. Like every thing else on the Internet, it follows the GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) principle.
If I’m following you on Twitter and you feed me crap, I’ll ignore you. On the other hand, if you feed me good stuff then I’m likely to read your tweets and may be even click on your links.
So, here’s my golden rule for Twitter:
Attract > Interact > Give back
- Attract like-minded followers
- Interact with them by replying to their tweets
- Give back by providing interesting content and links to good content not just a sales pitch
If you follow that golden rule, then you can successfully use Twitter in your business to attract qualified traffic, build a loyal following and ultimately make more money.
