Being active on Twitter is an experience. You can use it to connect, to network, to find new friends, to learn and to do all this without any geographic borders. As an introvert I also find it helpful to learn about what makes me tick. Here’s what’s working for me on Twitter:
Don’t ignore Twitter.
Don’t leave your profile blank.
Don’t follow people unless you want to.
Don’t follow the noisy types.
Don’t hold back information.
Don’t neglect your skill of listening.
Don’t rush to start tweeting.
Don’t rust to send a tweet.
Don’t use a picture or an avatar that doesn’t represent you.
Don’t use an image of your product for your picture.
Don’t take unfollows personally.
Don’t hesitate to ask just one or two people to RT – retweet.
Don’t neglect to follow up when someone DM – direct message to you.
Don’t rush to DM someone.
Don’t hold back asking questions.
Don’t pretend to have all the answers.
Don’t fake who you are.
Don’t Tweet just to Tweet.
Don’t ignore an inner prompting.
Don’t believe the rules are already made. Not even these don’ts!
Regardless of how you use Twitter, it can be an integral part of your plan. What did I miss? It can’t be a complete list since it’s a process. What else do we want to avoid?
great list – what if you turned them all to the positive…
like:
pay attention to Twitter
fill in your profile
follow people you like
…
be authentic
listen to your inner prompting
etc….
you must have had a reason for doing it this way, but for me – I like the positive spin on it – let’s talk about this when we meet tomorrow!

As a tweeter in training, Don’t ignore Twitter is advice I have taken seriously. Just as important as I get addicted to following links and figuring out who has common interests and sending puns and suggestions is DON’T IGNORE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. I make it a habbit to log off Twitter at least 10 minutes a day to say hi to my family. Balance.
