Twitter is a fantastic, fun way to build business relationships with some really fascinating solo business owners! Here are 10 tips for getting the most out of your Twitter experience.

1. Twitter is about conversation. Don’t just post updates; reply to things other people say that interest you and that you can add something to.
2. Talk to others they way you’d want to be talked to; respect the opinions of others.
3. Be authentic. Don’t make up stuff just to attract attention or get followers!
4. Be tactful, but not to the point of censoring yourself.
5. Follow the people who follow you…it’s a respect thing.
6. Twitter when you have time…don’t let it consume your business/life.
7. Share great information that people can benefit from, such as articles, blog posts, websites and tools. Don’t be afraid to share links to your business as well as others.
8. Retweeting is a great way to share with others while complimenting the original Twitterer.
9. Share something of yourself online. People will be attracted to exactly who you are!
10. Don’t obsess over people who unfollow you. Move on!
