Most new Twitter users quit before the end of the first month.

This is pretty understandable once you try it for yourself. Here are some thoughts you may have after using Twitter for a couple of weeks:

• Not knowing who to follow;
• Following uninteresting people;
• Not having many (any) followers;
• Feeling like your tweets aren’t doing any good;
• Feeling Like You’re Wasting Time!

For many, many people, this leads to leaving Twitter forever, never discovering the benefits it can bring to you and your business.

Let’s not allow that to happen to you!

What To Tweet

In the next few posts about getting started with Twitter, I’m going to give you a few ideas for things you can tweet about that will build a foundation of interaction and value. I’m going to start by covering:

• Tweeting your thoughts/actions;
• Asking open questions;
• Sending comments/questions to specific people;
• Sharing resources;

I’ll also be covering just how long your tweets should be. There’s a little more to it than just keeping it under 140 characters.

If You’re Reading This, You’re Not Tweeting!

The only way to start making sense of Twitter is to start using it.

Take just a few minutes each day and engage people using the techniques I’ll show you. Before long you’ll start coming up with techniques of your own. (I hope you’ll leave a comment and share them!)

Stick With It

At some point, you’ll probably to think this isn’t going anywhere or making any sense.

Stay with it.

Building a following takes time, but it’s time well spent.
