Great post! I agree 100% with you on making sure your tweets and profile are authentic and humanized. There is nothing worse than reading updates that appear to have been written by a robot with no face:) I especially like your advice on getting to know your followers. What is the point of gaining followers, if you're not fostering those relationships/leads on a constant basis?

Thank you for the insight, Michelle. So many brands think that Twitter is just another place to talk about how great they are, but what they don't realize is that Twitter is the place where they need to be the most genuine.

Twitter allows us to to show our true colors in 140 characters or less. Brands can use it to connect with their customers, handle adverse situations, and share ideas. Every brand considering taking to Twitter should take 5 minutes to read this post, by following your advice they're sure to benefit.

This is a Great article. I couldn’t agree more! There’s so much misinformation out there that people don’t really know what is and is not. It’s refreshing to see people that know what they’re talking about. You have an Informed commentary seems to be a rare commodity these days. Keep it coming.

Well said. It's a shame that up to this day there are some big corporate players who think twitter is the preserve of college upstarts. Everyone can benefit from twitter

Good article and thanks for the links to your other references, very helpful. This is a good straight-forward article which explains to business owners a number of things which they are are almost always asking. I often get asked if they can outsource the tweets and I'm relunctant to say yes because they can't really accomplish the intent of your article if it is not them. I know many companies offer this service, but in my experience it is obvious when you encounter these companies tweeting on behalf of their clients as their "voice" wrong.

What is your opinion of outsourcing tweeting?

Thanks for that feedback Sofia. It really plays to the “tweets” option in the voting list. Quality of content and behaviors are great reasons to follow someone on Twitter.

One of my favorites on Twitter is @homedepot. Sarah (PR For HomeDepot) answers questions and is responsive to anyone who has a question about the company or products.

Find the #2 and #3 helpful on Twitter. Twitter users are about to communicate with each other as persons.

Good question Vadim. I guess I'd start by asking them what they're afraid of, hiding from?

I really like this post but i do have a question. For companies that have a lot of internal stakeholders who may react negatively to the brand having a personality online, what should you do? How to deal with that?

Give your tweets a face and a name – imo the most important point. Thanx for your blog! /nic

Thanks Michelle, this really needs to go around. There is nothing more annoying then having your page ONLY full of someones links. The article was really helpful. It's great to know that you can really let yourself shine as well as your products.

Hi, Michelle. This is one informative post all social media enthusiasts and business players who have ventured into social media territory will find really useful. In my own point of view, item number 1 takes the cake. As long as you're talking to a person and not just a mere brand, your tweets are much sincere, effective and successful. Keep those articles coming!

#1 and #2 are definitely important. Show your actually human, and don't come across spammy by posting Tweets that only promote your product.

“Show Your Personality” I think is the best way to go about on Twitter. People on Twitter are still humans after all even though they just tell you about the most insignificant details.

I find #1 to be CRITICAL! Most casual followers really dislike a stream of product links. Blog links are a little better if most of your audience is likely to be interested. Regardless, adding a few personal tweets here and there can do wonders for building a relationship with your followers.
