I’ve had a lot of requests to share some tips on how to effectively post to Twitter. Read below to gain more followers and grab more attention on Twitter.

1. Don’t post too much, 2-3 times/day is perfect.
2. Post to Twitter during peak hours. mid-morning is perfect, or right after lunch.
3. Be helpful. Update your friends with interesting reads, or problem solving solutions.
4. Controversy always works.
5. Keep it short and sweet. Short blurbs like “WOW” or “HAHA” then a linking to your source always works well. It’s like the big red button in the middle of the wall, you gotta push it!
6. Be human, and talk back. When you read something interesting, let the user know. Responding, and re-tweeting generates energy in your Twitter account and people notice that.
7. Ask questions. People love questions and if the right question is asked you’ll get flooded with answers!
8. Find a useful application for your phone/iphone. Most people don’t realize there are hundreds of applications on the web to use with your Twitter account. Having Twitter on your hip is crucial with this high-paced software. Click here for my list of the best Twitter software for mac and pc.
