Social Media Tips: Find an Urban Intern to help you.
Maybe he’s already tweeting like crazy. Or maybe you think the concept of Twitter is crazy. Otherwise, you know that there are more than 100 million Twitter users who can’t be wrong, and now you want the help of your Urban Interior with carrying out tweets. Here’s a look at just a few of the ways Urban Interns can help you.
Set a schedule – Because Twitter updates in real time, the more you tweet, the more often you appear at the top of your students’ updates. It’s important to stay tuned and think about how often you want to tweet to your followers. Set-up a tweet schedule and stick to it!
Add apps – You can tweet ten times a day but who has the time? Rather, why ask your Urban Intern to use the Twitter application to easily manage your account. Our favorite app is Hoot Suite. Make a plan so that tweets can be sent in advance. Automatic direct messages can also be set up when your system has a new student.
Find some internet folks to follow – Now that you’re set up, it’s time to find some key people to “follow”. Of course, these are people who are prominent in your industry, always in the know, or maybe just funny! How do you locate them? First, search Twitter for industry keywords and leads. Then check their followers from others you would like to find. Speed up the process by using Twelow, a Twitter app that allows you to find other users with similar interests.
Tweet Types – With each tweet, you’re limited to 140 characters, but you’re not limited to the number of tweets you can send to your followers! Here are some tweet ideas to get you started:
Updates: Let everyone know what’s going on in your business. Is registration open for the new class? Did you just make a new inventory? Check out @marieforleo for more ideas.
Retweets: Use the retweet button to pass along posts you like. Don’t forget to retweet our posts you find useful @UrbanInterns.
Blog: Let everyone know that your blog is updated, as Chris Brogan, the master of social media, @ChrisBrogan does.
Customer Service: Answer your customers’ questions in real time using Twitter. You can answer any questions or troublshoot questions your business followers have. @ComcastCares gets this technique on a large scale, but it can work for any size business.
Multimedia: you can show your followers photos and videos using applications. Looking for inspiration? Businesswoman and trendsetter Tory Burch always posts photos to her followers @ToryBurch. Use applications like Twit Pic to send your photos.
Lots have been written about twitter and strategies that effectively leverage it as a business tool. If it seems like it takes too much time (or you simply don’t care), you’re in luck! There are tons of people who love Twitter (especially Urban Interns) and want to call Twitter a part-time job. !
