Bring Sunshine to Your Twitter Followers

In a nutshell: be nice, have manners and treat your followers as though they were - GASP - real people.
1. Remember that followers are real people with real feelings

Sure, there are some bots out there. I saw a funny bumper sticker the other day that said, “Twitter bots have feelings too.” For the most part though, Twitter is full of real people. It’s easy to forget that sometimes when we only communicate through text. Remember that even though it’s just a tweet, our words are still very powerful.

2. Retweet… Retweet… Retweet

@Jason_Pollock tweeted a quote by @earthXplorer that read, “A tweets life is short & sweet so if you enjoy, please re-tweet” If you are not retweeting people on Twitter, you are truly missing out on an opportunity to share the Twitter love. The power of a retweet is truly incredible and your RT can make a real difference for someone!

3. “Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.”
4. Read blogs, tweet blogs and comment on blogs
5. Be genuine!
