Chapter 1: Twitter for Newbies
New to Twitter? No problem.
Twitter is a microblogging platform that allows you publish Tweets that are 140 characters or less.
And you can either use it to broadcast interesting information… or you could use it to talk to specific people.
I’ll go over both…
Twitter as Broadcasting Platform
You can share anything on Twitter from what you’re doing right now to a cool article you just stumbled upon…
…that’s not the point.
Nobody cares what you’re doing right now. We’d like to think they do, but they don’t.
People only care about themselves. And if you’re going to share something on Twitter, it’s BEST to think about who follows you… and what THEY care about.
Plus, if you do this right, this is one of the BEST ways to get more Twitter followers.
Why?
Because if you focus on sharing what people care about first… they’ll reshare it… and more people who want what you’re sharing will find their way to you.
As an example…
I run a Twitter handle over at @DerekHalpern.
And most of the people who follow me are business owners (or people who want to become business owners).
So, I’ll share something like this…
Passion doesn't pay the bills. Pain does. Find the pain. Offer relief. Get paid.
— Derek Halpern (@derekhalpern) March 27, 2015
It’s not a link. It’s part inspirational, part informational. And people liked it which is why they shared it.
And if you dig a little deeper…
Much of what I share on Twitter is about just that… starting and growing a business.
Yes, I’m interested in it. But I also know the people who follow me are – and that’s why I share it.
It’s never about me. It’s about the people who follow me.
So, if you’re new to Twitter, remember this: even if you don’t have people following you yet, it’s always about the people who you want to follow you. Don’t share things about yourself. Share things that people want to see.
