Twitter Time Mgmt Tips

Here are some time management Twitter tips that have worked for me.

  • Remember Twitter is about communication. Interact with others.
  • Develop a routine and repeat 2-3 times per day. I try to log early am, midday and late evening.
  • Use Tweetdeck or some other app to help manage your tweets.
  • Tweet your own links and other links of interest.
  • Re-tweet often. This exposes your followers to some of your favorite people and helps spread interesting and helpful, as well as, inspiring information.
  • Check your @ replies to see how is talking to you or about you.
  • Right above the reply button in a tweet box is a star. Click this to add people and tweets to your Favorites. Favorites are listed in profile box to the right.
  • Use your Favorites and @ replies to keep up with the tweets of your core tweet peeps. Click on their avatar and see everything they have tweeted recently.
  • You can find many more new friends by watching who communicates with who.
  • Don’t play catch up and try to read every single tweet from every single person during the time you were offline.
  • Turn off email notification of followers. Once or twice a week click on your followers button. Your followers are listed in order from most recent to oldest. You can fairly quickly review your new follower profiles and decide who you want to follow back. Note the last person you looked at so you know where to pick up next time.
  • You don’t have to follow everyone who follows you.
  • If you get repeated tweets that seem outside the community you want to interact with, Un-follow.
  • You don’t have to DM (direct message) everyone who follows you. This can be time consuming for you and annoying for your followers…especially when it is automated.
  • Use DM’s to connect directly with someone you have a special message for or will be establishing a communication offline with.
