Another week, another diary post. The past week has been fairly low key but with some good results, Tip #3 was to spruce up our profile. I (@LauraJDavis) went so far as to change my pic (somehow a pic of me a little worse for wear wasn’t working, check the new one below) and we both changed our profile bio’s. Whether this had any impact is hard to tell, but from a little snooping into our followers own bio’s we can see that they have similar interests as what we stated so we have came to the conclusion that there is something in it.
Also on the up this week has been the number of times we have been tweeting on a daily basis; we have really thrown ourselves into putting relevant (and on the rare occasion funny) tweets up, as a result we got a few @reply from some of our followers which caused a bit of excitement! (Yes we are sad, we know this already!) We are also starting to realise that talking, sorry twitting, about popular subjects or topics can be beneficial, for example @LauraJDavis and @PammyWeaver had a small(ish) chat about a certain teen vampire book turned box office smash movie (please refer to my earlier statement of us being sad and knowing it) and we both saw a jump in the number of visitors. On another occasion help was asked about a work related subject which reminds us that not only is Twitter a social marketing tool it can be resourceful and an excellent way to expand contacts in the local area.
Which leads us to…
Tip #4
This weeks tip comes from a fellow twitterer, @marcode who very kindly @reply both @PammyWeaver and @LauraJDavis and told us of an iPhone application that puts you in contact with twitterers in the local area. Not having an iPhone we are going to have to find a similar tool online and then find twitterers in our local area the aim being to increase our business contacts in the local area.
When we find said tool I will report back…
