How to Make a Good Tweet on Twitter

Interesting Twitter tweets have an art to them.  There are some specific ways to make a great tweet to get the attention of your followers.

For instance, when shipping products to stores try to make tweets about the product you are sending…..

Example of a tweet: Shipping shirts today to @(name of company u are shipping to )http://www.bruzwear.com/shop/Shred/index.html #fitnesswear #children’s clothing

Why this works…..

The @sign above will put the tweet into the mentions of the store you are shipping to, (that works if the store has a twitter account), the store may then see the tweet  and RT it to their followers.

I added a link to show the product shipping. The link will need to be shrunk down to fit into the tweet. The tweet cannot be longer than 140 characters long.  There are twitter tools that can shrink the links for you, I use Power Twitter and Hootsuite.

I also added a hashtag sign # at the end of the tweet , the hashtag will put the tweet into a category. I used fitnesswear  because if you notice the word fitnesswear is not in the tweet itself, so I add it at the end so it will show up in the steam of twitter on tweets related to fitnesswear. There is a website called  Twitter Seach, where tweets on specific categories/topics can be searched.

In addition to making tweets about products, it is always good practice to also make tweets about interesting things other than just promoting your business. Helpful online articles and interesting stories make good tweets for retweets.

Hope this helps! How do you make your tweets interesting?
