TwitterWatchdog Interview How to Maximize Your Twitter Experience

Skeeter Hansen, Co-Founder of TwitterWatchdog.com Interviews Heidi Richards Mooney About How to Maximize Your Twitter Experience

In this powerful interview Skeeter asked Heidi the following:

~ When she starting using Twitter
~How she was introduced to Twitter
~ Why she uses Twitter (for business, marketing, just for fun)
~ What she loves about Twitter (and doesn’t)
~ Changes she would like to see made to Twitter Useability
~ Her favorite Twitter Aps
~ What criteria Heidi uses to Follow (and unfollow) Twitter users
~ How to find people to follow
~ and much more!

Here are the tips for Newbies Heidi Shared:

a. Write a meaningful bio – one that will help people find you on Twitter (based upon keywords).
 
b. Check out Tweet Analyzer www.twitteranalyzer.com.  If you want to know about how far reaching your messages on Twitter can expand, just look at mine.  I only have 6,500+ followers and on Smile Power day, my reach was over 268,000.  It hovers in the hundred thousand range on days when I only post a few times throughout the day. You can see at a glance how well you are doing with followers, being retweeted and more.  It will help you visualize the value and influence potential of Twitter.

c. Get known for something.  For instance, Carrie Wilkerson @barefootexecutive is known as the Resource for Work at Home Women.  She has built a tremendous following on Twitter (almost 65,000) and shares great resources, tools and ideas for the Work at home mom. Al Ferretti and Skeeter Hansen of Twitter Watchdog are known for helping people make sense of and effectively use Twitter. 

d. Know your goals. What do you hope to gain from participating in Twitter? If you don’t know the answer to that, then I suggest you don’t spend much time there until you do.

Heidi,

What a great post, I’m off to visit some of the links, especially interested in the twitteranalyzer – and what do you mean by ONLY 6500 followers:-) I have a little catching up to do.

I’m listening to you right now:-)

Take care and thanks for being one of my Twitter friends.

Claudia
