8 Biggest Mistakes People Make on Twitter
5. Getting verbose
The idea of a tweet is brevity. If you are in the mood for a lengthy read and write something long, you are going against the definition of a tweet. Your followers are not interested in seeing their timelines flooded with your lengthy conversation. Get short, crisp and interesting to send the message across.
6. Using auto DMs
Every auto DM thanks you for having followed. But getting to see numerous of those in a day is not particularly an appealing affair. So, if you have no idea on using an auto DM, it is better to refrain from it. Save yourself from the horrendous task of creating a nasty or boring DM. Some even commit the mistake of appending their website link or address to the services or products they deal in.
7. Failing to understand re-tweets
Tweeting is not the only task on Twitter. It is important to understand and utilize the power of a re-tweet. When you re-tweet to a tweet, there are two advantages you get. One is that your followers become aware that you are seeking quality links and second, the one to whom you have re-tweeted feels that their messages are being read and that they are considered important.
8. Linking to Facebook
Informative tweets being linked on Facebook can make sense but not all of your tweets. Go to your settings, click profile and disconnect from Facebook. One, you are flooding friends’ timeline and two, you are revealing more than you need to on this social networking site.
