Guestpost:Learn and Get More Twitter Followers with Good Copy
1. Start at the top: your Twitter profile
You might think there’s not much copy to work with – but you’d be surprised at the difference a few words can make. When people land on your Twitter profile, they’re looking for an interesting detail they can connect with. And the more personal the connection, the better.
So don’t just state you’re an “Internet marketer who specialises in achieving core success,” or some similar nonsense. Sure, say what business you’re in, but say something about yourself too: that you’re an Elvis fan, addicted to curry, determined to find all the lost socks of the world. Anything, as long as it’s personal and it’s about YOU.
Everyone has a business…but way fewer people have a likable personality you’d want to connect with. Remember that.
2. A tweet is a 140-character piece of copy – you should treat it as such.
No matter what they’re about, tweets ARE miniature pieces of copywriting. To write more effective tweets, think about them as concentrated headlines. After all, why would you tweet anything if you didn’t want it to be noticed?
It’s important to treat your tweets as you would a headline in a sales promotion. Rather than tweeting, “I’ve written a new blog post, read it at BoringTweet-dot-Snore,” you should make sure each tweet contains at least one of the Four U’s: Useful, Unique, Ultra-specific or Urgent. Keeping these in mind will help you write stronger headlines – and tweets.
