Permalink Reply by SassmowthDesigns on March 6, 2010 at 12:27pm: LOL I always think the same thing about twitter!! One rule of thumb with twitter is - don't only tweet links. People get sick of only seeing links. it's helpful to get your work out there, but mostly tweeter peeps are social, and like to get to know the peeps they follow. but if you only tweet about what you're having for breakfast, they're not gonna stick around either :) Do about a half and half. And don't worry too much about *annoying* people, as long as you're not tweeting 20 times in 5 minutes, you'll be fine. :)

Don't just tweet link after link, nobody will follow because it's a little boring. Tweet about a new project you've started, when you make a new listing, when you're having a sale, when you post a new picture to FB, and be sure and retweet and thank the followers who do the same for you! it's a fun place to make friends and interact. it's like a huge chatroom!
I try not to tweet the same link more than twice in a day (of my own stuff).; ▶ Reply to This
