3 Twitter Mistakes to Avoid
If you want to know how to use Twitter to grow your home based business you’re reading the right article! I’m about to reveal the top mistakes people make when using Twitter and exactly how to avoid them.
1. The first twitter mistake is pretty obvious which is not trying to build your number of followers. If you want to be successful promoting your home based business with Twitter you have to have plenty of followers. Chatting with the same 10 people everyday is not going to build your business.
Even if you’re just getting started on Twitter (like I am) or in your first home based business you still need lots of followers. The illusion you create is quite simple…if you have lots of followers you must know what you’re doing or must be saying something worth hearing.
TIP: How do you get more followers on Twitter?
Getting massive amounts of followers is really much more simple than people make it out to be. If you follow a ton of people chances are they’ll follow you back too (at least about half of them). So get out there and start following anyone and everyone you can preferably those interested in your same niche. Finding people in your niche is simple. Just find one big guy in your niche and follow who follows them… make sense? See, it really is amazingly simple.
2. Another huge twitter mistake is doing nothing put promoting your business/ product. Twitter is a social network so be social. It’s acceptable to promote what you’re doing in moderation. Moderation (a good balance) is the key. Just don’t constantly be spamming people about your company and people will continue to follow you.
TIP: What to tweet about on Twitter?
Twitter is great for giving people a behind the scenes look at your life and your business. So talk about the things you do throughout the day. In general just be yourself and let people get to know the real you. That way they’ll be much more inclined to trust you and want to buy from you or be in business with you.
3. The final major Twitter mistake is not being social! Twitter is a social network so talk to people, comment on their Tweets, and make sure you respond make to your direct messages. If you want people to care about you show them that you care about them first.

Great tips! I’m so guilty of not being social on Twitter. It’s so hard to find the time some days!
Staci, I really didn’t get what twitter was all about at first, that’s why I waited so long to join. But, twitter really is the opportunity to connect with others who have similar interest. And you don’t have to really say a lot as space is limited on each post…but this is even more beneficial because you don’t have to spend a lot of time chatting. It only takes a few moments to log in and say a word or two and respond to a few other comments. Once or twice a week take some time to follow some other twitter users and you’ll soon gain several followers as well.
