Like all social media, there are rules and etiquette on how you use Twitter. Today, Twitter is such a vital part of your media outreach and you need to become versed in how it works, what the purpose of it is and how it can help you achieve the level of media coverage you seek for your business. Don’t allow yourself to look foolish or be annoying!
I can’t stress enough the importance of learning the rules of Twitter publicity BEFORE you start using it to contact journalists.
Once you have familiarized yourself with Twitter, I recommend following these simple tips to grow your Twitter publicity and PR:
– Be the first responder to the requests for information from journalist…have an answer, have a link, have SOMETHING – just make it credible.
– Don’t send irrelevant Tweets. Pay attention to what journalists are looking for.
– Be interesting!
– Have complete contact information on your Twitter profile. This is a simple yet very overlooked rule.
– Try an @ (or .@) mention with the journalist’s handle.
