How to use Twitter Effectively for Social Networking

10 Effective Tips on using Twitter for Social Networking

We already covered many topics on using twitter the terminologies and other methods to enhance your social networking presence with twitter. This time I thought of writing effective tips where you can use your Twitter account to create powerful presence for social networking. 

What you did so far with your twitter account ?

1. You created your logins
2. Username
3. Information about yourself
4. A superb picture removing the egg avatar and 
5. Following some people which interest you. 
6. And start tweeting 

The above are just the basic step which any one do while starting with twitter, but in the above method you may not be using twitter effectively or I would say there would be more steps which you are not exploring. Let's cover the points where you can make effective use of your twitter account. 

1. Proper user name : If you are using twitter for your personal use I suggest you to have a proper twitter name where your friends or colleagues can find you easily. For business purpose the Twitter account should be used as the brand name you are using for other social networking website. Lots of twitter user make mistakes by using funky names, which makes you are a non serious twitter user. 

2. Removing egg Avatar : Egg avatar is little dangerous since again it shows that you are still an egg of twitter henceforth remove the egg avatar with good image or your company logo. This helps in getting brand recognition and people will remember you - We have already covered a topic on when to change your profile pictures

3. Write a complete Bio : Bio is important since they are the keywords which help user in finding you. Do put your company link by shortening the url this help in getting traffic also to your website. 

4. Check correct people to follow : Here is the first part where you started with social networking the above 3 points were related to social media. Henceforth check out the twitter directory of people and understand to whom you would like to follow. People may be in same business or of similar country. Check out our article on How to search people on twitter | How to build quality followers on twitter

5. Who you are : Start tweeting and create brand with your tweets people should remember you with your profile pic and with your tweets that who you are. 

6. Followers/Following Ratio : This is again important part to make your twitter account effective. Many newbies do this mistake of keeping their following ratio high as compare to their followers. Only follow those who interest you. If your following ratio is high then it might not create powerful image of your twitter account. 

7. Communicate : You'r views are very important to people whom you are following or who are following you on twitter. If you have difference of opinion then communicate and clear it. Get engage with your followers so that they start taking your views on certain topics

8. Retweets & Favorite : One of the best gesture you can give to tweets is retweeting or favoriting the tweet. This will increase the confidence of people in you. I have seen people who retweet my tweets and I love them more as compare to people who are just following me. 

9. Use Photos : Photos speak louder than written words, while tweeting you can use photos for greater effects. If you send those written monotonous tweets every time then the interest may go down. Henceforth use pictures in tweets whenever required. Article on How to post images on twitter quickly

10. Networking : The Final point is networking for which twitter is created. Introduce yourself to people share contacts or share references they might be interested in. Networking in twitter is quite micro activity but in return it pay you. 

So from the above 10 points I conclude that you can excel on twitter and can effectively use twitter for your social networking purpose. Happy Tweeting!

What is difference between Social Media and Social Networking

Social media vs. Social networking

Social media Social networking or social media networking they all sound similar but there are some of the differences. You may find that that even some people use the term called as social media marketing, which is again little broader in actual.

Read this simple story : 

You created Twitter account or Facebook account you started adding people in your group as per your preference. Some of them started following you back or some of them accepted your friend request. 

Then after a good number of connections with people you started posting messages and no one giving any gestures like a follow or a comment on your post, and then you realize that you created "social media" presence by adding people to your group but there is not networking or 2 way communication happening which is also called as "Social networking"

So you started getting engage with people reading their views and start interacting - That's was the day when you realize that you got how to build relationship by networking with others. 

I hope with the above story, you understood the difference between Social Media vs. Social networking. Now let's cover some more details which can differentiate Social Media with Social Networking.

• In social media the communication is one way - you created followers or friends that's all but in social networking the communication works both ways you have to engage people sometime with pull strategy - putting some good message and sometime with push strategy - communicating and giving your reviews on their post or photos or messages. 

• Social media represent channel of communication like what you choose to build your social media presence say for example :  - You may find twitter is better for you or may be creating YouTube videos or may be Facebook. Whereas in Social networking you build relationship by getting engage in the communication.

• With Social media you say to people "I am here" and with social networking you say "I am here show me some Actions & thoughts" Therefore social media create a presence whereas social networking leverage and put your social media onto next level of communication. 

• Social networking compare to social media act as a communication platform with people that you choose. 

Both Social Media and Social networking are two different terminologies having separate concepts. They both are used accordingly as per the business strategy 

How to create great tweets

How best and great tweets are created 

That question was always in my mind whenever i used to tweet. There are four parameters which create great and good tweets. We already covered various topics on twitter using some of them were how many characters you must use, best time to tweet and so on

What do you think before creating a tweet

How many people will read my tweet?
How many retweets i will get ? 
How many people will engage in this communication ?
How many favorites ? and so on . .

So the answers to create great tweets lies in your questions. Remember first the number of people who will read your tweet is important they should be first engage to read your tweets therefore whenever you are creating tweets try to create something special think about a common man about your followers. Don't write what you want. some of the trick to create a great tweets are use famous quotes, ask for help, write tweets related to trending topics, or either create tweets which interests your followers. In my case blogging tips or social media networking news.

Great tweets are retweeted and Favorited by the followers and that may create trending topics on twitter. Remember to be a good user on twitter it does not depend on the number of followers you have. What matters is the target audience and the seriousness of your followers who will read and leave a special gesture interms of retweet or interaction.

Rs. 754 Crore loss Q2 - Kingfisher Airlines

754 was trending on twitter i though it might be for some price hike in some sector by the government of India but i was surprise to see that it was not any price hike but it was Kingfisher Airlines posts record Quarter 2 Net loss which is of Rs 754 Crore

There were moment or trends when topics such as Kingfisher, Vijay Mallaya trended on twitter because of the position of the company and staff protest. The Airline posted net loss of Rs 754 crore for the quarter of September and 469 crore a year before.

The company said it is preparing a comprehensive plan to restart the operations. Although the revenues decreased from 87%. KingfisherBSE shares are decreased or down by 39% this year closing at Rs 12. 8 where as in 2007 it was Rs 334

There are many doubts on Kingfisher would fly again in future since there is no concrete recovery plan. The company has a burden of debt which is more than Rs 7524 crore.

We hope everything get settled as Kingfisher to rise the wings higher to the sky.

How many characters to use while creating tweets

Twitter has given me 140 characters limit - that's too short to convey my message !

The answer is No - 140 characters limit is very decent to convey your message - Have you ever seen those catchy newspaper headlines which is less then 100 characters short but convey high level message to the readers. Create your message strong & powerful, you will find 100 characters is enough to tweet.

Let's move . . .So how many characters maximum should you use while creating a tweet - Character limit of 140 looks very less which is always discussed in various forums for tweeting, and today we will discuss on how many characters ideally you should leave while tweeting and why.

After so many tweets which i tweeted personally i feel you must leave atleast 20 characters ideally while tweeting since if you cover complete 140 characters then it may not get retweets or replies which users or your followers would like to create.

Following are the areas where your 140 characters tweet affect:

@RT - at Retweet this is another method of retweeting from direct clicking on retweets if you create 140 characters tweet you are stopping your follower or user for using @RT

Check out our exclusive article on - retweets

@User - Many times followers put your name @User while using @RT so similarly the chances of self branding decrease if all characters is used.

Tip : Use shortening url's while putting links this will increase the chances of using more characters

it is not compulsory to leave 20 characters and not to use complete 140 characters in a tweet but try to create short tweets rather using shrtfrms in ur twit. oops sorry short forms in your tweets. This will increase the chances of getting more followers.
