I hope it's helpful to you as you develop your social media marketing strategy. # Good Twitter Posting for Businesses Includes the following: 1) **Consistent, Reasonable Posting**: Staying FAR out of **#twitterjail** (12-15 posts a day max.).

I know how it is: you finally make your way onto Twitter for the day, and you see 100 posts you want to retweet or reply to--but you've got to resist the urge to do them all in 5 minutes time. Give everybody else a chance to "get a word in edge-wise". 3) **Tweet skimable keyword-rich content** -- people who read Twitter are other people so think about what posts you read vs. posts you don't. I know how I read Twitter posts: I'm scrolling fast. If their keywords don't catch my eye, those tweets are ignored. I just don't have time to read non-keyword-rich tweets. (Do you?) 4) **B****e a real person on Twitter:** often the main reason people will do business with you (in the long-term and the short-term) is because they like you. You don't need to be unprofessional in your Tweets by over-sharing, but people rarely reject someone's (inoffensive) sense of humour--nor do they reject a chance to get to know something about another person. (I used to be a teacher, and one of the slogans by a teaching guru was "if you don't tell the kids something about yourself--sooner or later they'll start making stuff up about you!" And yes, this might include using a real photo on your Twitter profile, but it doesn't have to. I don't think there is anything wrong with having your business's logo as your Twitter profile picture--it's nice to know you can talk to a business). 5) **Take an interest:** being a good business on Twitter also means responding to all of your **@yourprofile** comments. But also, take a look at what other people you're interested are saying and talk to them. I like Twitter for the conversations that can develop and the sharing of information through keyword-rich tweets. > There's lots of way to conduct good, ethical, friendly business on Twitter, and perhaps you have even more suggestions to share?
