Hi, thanks for a great post with specific suggestions. For the past ten days, I have been on a quest to find the best ideas on using Twitter as a business tool. I found some good suggestions here that I had not seen. I particularly liked your thought about tracking posts back to visits to your blog by using similar names.

Very useful post, Christian, many thanks!
I have been wondering about people missing Tweets and so:
* how often to send them (thanks for your thoughts & also Suzan’s response), and
* whether to re-send the same Tweet 3 or more times a day, if it is a key one, say link to my Blog / article?

Many thanks,
Susanna777

Relevant points you made. However if I see someone tweeting constantly about their business I will unfollow and quickly.
The tool is good for soft promotion but agressive promotion is a no-no.
If people are interested what you have to say they will take a look into the detail and read more about you.

Christian – Great post.
#4 – I think it looks very self-serving and removes some of the “open” nature of the web and social media and twitter to ALWAYS be driving people back to your site/blog/whatever. That said, it’s a great idea and one I’ll be employing more. LOL. Just not with EVERY tweet that includes a link. As a user, I enjoy when another Twit sends me off somewhere I haven’t been before, WITHOUT having to go through yet another gate (THEIR particular blog/site). BUT….if the point of using twitter is to market one’s services, then Tip #4 is invaluable. I would just say, use it with some moderation.

#5 – For frequency of tweets, I love BigTweet.com – it lets me tweet instantly from any webpage I happen to be viewing. So I can easily clip some text or the link itself (in violation of tip #4, lol). But it’s a great app and tool for a twitter user.

Thanks for the tips!
