Twitter is a social media marketing phenomenon that helps you connect with people you might not otherwise be able to meet. As YOU add valuable content to the twitter-sphere (140-characters at a time), you increase your connections, establish your credibility, and grow your network.
Determining what IS valuable to your followers and the rest of the twitter community can often stop you cold in your tracks. So what can you post on twitter that will really add value and help you grow your network? Here are some ideas:
• Industry information and news
• Quotes (business-focused, inspirational)
• Funnies (links to videos, humorous stories, etc.)
• Inspiration (links to stories or videos that inspire)
• Personal interests (if your followers may find value)
• Re-tweets
These are time-tested topics that twitter users never tire of reading. If you can focus on generating short, pithy posts with these topics as your focus, you will be well on your way to building your twitter network and connecting with real value.
