If you’re reading this, it’s either because you’ve just started following me on Twitter, or you’re thinking of following me on Twitter.
I want to tell you how I use Twitter.
I’m not saying it’s the best way or even that it’s the right way, but it’s the way that I use it and will continue to do so.
Firstly be aware, I tweet a lot. A LOT. If you don’t follow many people, then it could seem at times that I’m the only one tweeting. And it could get annoying.
So what do I tweet about?
- I tweet about Mortgages
- I tweet links to Mortgage related blogs
- I tweet links to tips and reviews on Twitter by other blogs
- I Tweet links to my new Blogs
- I tweet links that may be of interest – usually things about Twitter, the internet in general, gadgets or IT news
- I retweet things that others have tweeted that I think my followers may be interested in
- I tweet random things that are happening to me
- I moan about bad service – usually from suppliers
- I tweet about new clients I have gained
- I occasionally tweet links to articles my clients have written
- I sometimes tweet links to other people’s blogs (@4_walls and @nicktadd )
- I ask questions, and sometimes retweet the answers I’m given
- I sometimes tweet random thoughts – just because I can
All in all that can add up to a lot of tweets!
But there’s more…
I’m a great believer in Twitter being, like any other social media, a two way street.
So I reply to other people’s tweets, I answer people that reply to me and hold mini conversations on there.
In general, if you don’t follow lots of the same people as I do, this won’t affect you.
However, if you follow a lot of the same people that I do, you’ll see every @ (reply) message that I send to them, and that they send to me.
And if you’re accessing through the website rather than using a client such as Tweetdeck, then it could get a bit annoying. You do get used to it after a while though, I promise!
So that’s how I use Twitter, and what you can expect if you follow me.
Hopefully it hasn’t put you off, and you’ll be sending me a “Hello” message @Mortgages_uk very soon!
