BUILDING A TWITTER PROFILE
1. Think about what you want to get out of Twitter and the audience you want to reach.2. Fill out a descriptive bio so when you appear in people's timelines, you look relevant and
interesting, and they are intrigued enough to follow you back.3. Use the “Block” option for trolls, bots and anyone who spams you.4. To get started, follow back pretty much everyone who follows you; a lot of people follow
just to get a follow back and if you don't they unfollow.5. If you want to keep your “Following” number down, use lists instead of follows.6. Use free tools eg. tweepi, justunfollow, untweeps to keep your account relevant.

WHAT DO I TWEET ABOUT?
1. Reply to all mentions, even if it’s just a thank you.2. Decide two or three areas that you’d like to be influential in; stick to those to start.3. Share links to videos/ articles that you think your audience is interested in. 4. Try to share 2 or 3 items every day; add your own insightful comment.5. Retweet people who are influential in the areas you have chosen.6. Take photos with your phone and add them to tweets.7. Use hashtags when relevant; create hashtags for your own events and campaigns.8. Develop your own style and personality; follow mentors for ideas; be natural, friendly
and conversational - never use hard sell tactics.9. Use a tool like bitly to shorten urls and track responses.10. Use Hootsuite or Tweetdeck to schedule tweets and manage multiple accounts.
