  1. A bio is a must. A recent Harvard Business Review study showed that 82% of unsuccessful Twitter accounts have little or no bio information.
  2. You should provide more than 3 links per 20 tweets and you should update more than once a day.
  3. If you don’t provide links in your tweets, you should plan to post more often (studies suggest as much as six times a day). You should have no more than 15 updates a day.
  4. Twitter names are becoming like URL’s were in the early years of the Internet. Make sure and grab all your branding and your name
  5. Don’t use underscores_ when you’re creating a user name. Not only does it look amateurish but a number of spammers have hacked into Twitter that way. You don’t want to look like a spammer
  6. Always engage and reply to the @reply responses on Twitter. Why? Well first off it’s important to engage your followers but second, those @replies help with your Twitter ranking.

    I love that, I’m going to quote Chris on a Twitter class I’m about to teach!

    And be generous, forgiving, or at least polite. The recent author-reviewer kerfluffle reminds us that Twitter’s a public place and personal attacks lead to disaster.

    Thank you for the info – Twitter has become a major source of friends,interviews and contacts for my business. I agree, the reply feature is absolutely a vital part of it. The bookmark feature has also been quick, easy and effective and I hope more people will take advantage of these tools.

    I agree, Twitter is one of the best places to network, gather new ideas – and build your brand… it makes a terrible first impression but once you’re *in* and in sync with what your followers want, it builds easy from there!

    You can find the most interesting things on Twitter…and the most useless. I like the idea of limiting the number of daily tweets. Seeing too many from the same person makes me wonder if they have an offline life. I’m lucky if I can find time for two a day.
