They want to stay connected 24/7 and they want to gain new friends. Is your reason the same? Of course, there are those who simply want to take their business to a different level. Twitter marketing is also possible these days but to ensure success, you must follow certain rules.

Many businesses have experienced growth and expansion through various internet and social media resources. Consider the following rules to twitter success:

1.) Visibility ? you must ensure your visibility on Twitter. Spend a few of hours everyday by posting tweets and responding to the tweets you receive. This is an excellent way of getting to know more people. Use the tool ?Twitter Blueprint?. You must first determine your Twitter routine. Designate particular hours for tweeting everyday. You must also follow a certain number of people every week and check which ones follow you back. Try to make direct replies. A good thing about Twitter is that you can reply from your mobile device. If you?re always seen and heard on Twitter, you can increase your visibility.

2.) Powerful Profile ? when you join Twitter, you will first create your profile page. Make the page interesting and powerful. What does your profile say about you? Your personality? Your interests?

Common Mistakes on Twitter

Twitter is an exciting, cool, and extremely profitable social network site. Millions of people are now using the site to talk about various subjects. Indeed, it is a micro-blogging site for those who can?t stop talking. There are also common mistakes that most new users commit on Twitter. Before you start sending tweets, you must be aware of these common mistakes.

Mistake number 1 - the picture on your avatar is not yours. Most new users don?t post their real picture. They often use cartoon pictures, company logos, or their pet?s pictures. Although the pictures are quite cute, most Twitter users will appreciate a real picture of you. When you post your true picture on Avatar, others will think that you?re real and that you?re confident enough to let others see you. If you?re going to upload a photo, choose the ones where you give a beautiful smile. A smile can easily brighten the day of others.

Mistake number 2 - Sending direct messages automatically through the AutoDM; direct messages are often impersonal and pushy. If you send this type of messages, you can lose your followers. TweetLater is another tool that sends automatic messages. When you use these tools, messages are automatically sent to those who follow you. A message saying ?thanks for following me? is fine but sending automated messages promoting your business or product is not a good idea and most people will just frown at them.

Mistake number 3 - Do you have any followers? If you want to have followers, you need to follow people or you can at least create an interesting profile page. You can get followers by regularly posting updates. If you keep on following people and yet you don?t make updates on your page, you can?t get enough followers.

Mistake number 4 - The 140-character tweets should be used to answer the Twitter question. Answering that question once a day may be enough to let others know that you?re interested in the community. You can post what you?re doing for the day or where you plan to go for the night. Tweets are great for starting conversations. You can also re-tweet other users or send them comments.

Check your numbers regularly. It?s not good to follow many people when you have very few individuals following you. Try to achieve balance. Make sure that the one you follow will also follow you back and you should also appreciate the ones who follow you. This is the easiest way to make friends on Twitter.

Use tools like Tweetdeck(http://www.tweetdeck.com/)(you will need adobe air for this to work on your computer, it is a free download) so that you don?t need to stay online all the time. Through this application, you can divide your followers into groups. Now, you can easily track them especially when they send direct messages and replies. Tweetdeck does a lot of different things, go to te website to check it out further.

If you keep on promoting your business all the time, everyone will ?unfollow? you. No one likes a person who talks about his business or product most of the time. You must learn to respect others. As you may have forgotten, Twitter is a social network.

You must learn how to communicate and build good relationships before you start bombarding them with promotions. Even if you already have a god list of leads, it is still not a good idea to barrage them with promotions. Promotional tweets should be sent in limited numbers only.

These are the common mistakes committed by new and old tweeters. Take note of them and don?t commit the same mistakes. And oh, happy tweeting.
