So you’ve signed up for a twitter account. You’ve created your profile. You’ve searched for some followers on your beat and in your community. You’re ready to start tweeting.
So what do you say?
The honest answer is: whatever you want. Starting on twitter is like having writer’s block. The only way to cure it, is to write. The only way to get a sense of what makes sense on twitter is to start tweeting.
At first, tweet about whatever. Don’t drive people crazy and update every minute, but throw in what you’re doing. I started out with tweets that were frankly pretty lame. “Heading out to go for a run” … “Boy, I need a soda.” The point is to get started or you never will.
With This is Mind, We have created some Tweets for you to use for promoting Successful Thinkers.
Even Though Twitter Gives You 140 Chracters use 120 for others to ReTweet You (See ReTweet Below).
If you want to target market your city or subject put a # sign in front of it for a hash Tag.

- Traffic flows to your website.
Find people using keywords, location, interests, and more!
A tiny, hidden gem lies in Twitter's footer navigation bar: Twitter Search!
Twitter search is an incredible tool that allows you to find virtually
anything and
anyone by adding the ability to search for key words,
locations, phrases, and more! Type in any word and you're guaranteed
to get real time results.
- Want to know what people think of a new movie? Try searching for it.
- Search for any phrase ('I dreamt' is an interesting one)
- Want to know what people are saying about your company? Try a keyword search.
- Wondering who sends tweets from your area? Try searching for 'location:cityname' to see a list of people who are from that city.
The results you get from Twitter show what people are saying and doing right now!
What does RT, or retweet, mean?
RT is short for retweet, and indicates a re-posting of someone else's tweet.
This isn't an official Twitter command or feature, but people add RT somewhere in a tweet to
indicate that part of their tweet includes something they're re-posting
from another
person's tweet, sometimes with a comment of their own.Check out this great article on re-tweeting, written by a fellow Twitter user, @ruhanirabin.
