Glad you found the tips useful, Vanita. Better to start on the right foot than wade through mistakes. 🙂

Thanks Delia. Using the right hashtags makes a difference for both parties – the person who needs help finds it and the tweeter is able to add value and raise their profile. I’ve ended up following and being followed by Tweeters where there was a mutual exchange of value and support. Thanks for highlighting the power of the hashtag.

You are most welcome, Kimber. I hope you had a look at my post ‘Experience the Power of Tweet’ which has even more information on Twitter. I mentioned some ideas in my reply to Roslyn and Lisa. You might want to consider them as well. The work that you do on your website really needs to be shared with the world. Thanks for dropping by at my blog.

It does take time to get the hang of Twitter but once that happens, we are unstoppable, aren’t we Heather? 🙂

Twitter is a great place to hangout, Beverley. As with all social media, it can eat up time. I usually log on twice a day for a few minutes to see what is happening. Turning on the notifications lets me know if someone has engaged and that makes my time on Twitter more productive. I’ve met quite a few wonderful people there and gone on to engage with them in the real world and my favorite hangout, LinkedIn. More power to your Twitter Experience!

You are most welcome, Kathryn. Hope you enjoy the Twitter experience better this time round. A lot has changed in the last few months. Did you know you can now post videos as well?

Hi Roslyn. One immediate suggestion that I can offer is to schedule your tweets so that they appear more often in the news feed and also to look at your tweet timing. One tool that helps with this is Buffer. Also, if you are sharing the same quote on other social media such as Pinterest and Facebook and have linked those accounts to Twitter, then each time you post, they will also feature in your Twitter stream. Have a shot and let me know if you see an improvement. Your works are so beautiful that I feel they really need to be shared with everyone. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Thank you Kirsten, for the thumbs up. I have noticed that some people follow you and then once you follow them back, they unfollow you or as you mentioned, unfollow if you don’t jump on their bandwagon. I used to find it strange in the beginning but have since accepted it as a way that some people use Twitter.

A rule of thumb that I follow personally is to follow back only if I find them interesting or if even after 24 hours of their following me, they are still there. A monthly review of my Follows helps to ensure that I am still receiving tweets from people who add value and real engagement. Thanks for visiting my blog.
