Thanks for the great tips. I have 2 accounts, 1 that I’ve had for about a year @SarahMaus2 and a fairly new one @Selling_Orlando. I decided I needed a handle that better described what I am about (I’m a Realtor).
My questions are:
1) how can I get the tweets I want to come thru as a text on my phone to do that on my second account? There is no mobile phone option showing up on those pages. Or, can we only have 1 account sent to our phone? (oh yeah, and to feed to my other accounts like Facebook, Linked-In, etc)
2)I would like to notify my followers on the first account that I am phasing that account out, and would like to be followed at my new account. Is there an easy way to do this without having to notify one at a time?

Thanks so much in advance…you guys are doing a great job!

I am happy to see that Twitter is working for you. Keep up the good work with how you manage your Twitter account.
You make a lot of good points and I look forward to meeting you some day at a tweet up.

Thanks for the comment,

Most of my followers have been attracted by what I tweet. I rarely follow people unless I like what they are saying or unless they are recommended by someone I know. Even though I have over 5000 followers now, I still look at each person who follows me and usually follow them back unless they look really bad. I don’t like autofollowing and don’t do it.

Twitter is still about making connections, whether personal or professional. If what you tweet is good enough, you will attract people who will go to your website and buy your products. Autofollowing thousands of people will not accomplish this.

Skeeter and Al, you are doing a great service with this blog. Excellent posts.

Fantastic tips! However, I find checking and replying to my @ replies and DMs once a day rather difficult. Perhaps it’s bc I’m lacking in time, as I’m spending a lot of my time on Twitter deciding who to follow back! I don’t autofollow back, so I don’t have a lot of time to read DMs, especially. I believe it’s important and only fair for me to check out each person who follows me first, as everybody deserves a chance to be followed back if they are a decent human being, especially if they are in my niche or have similar interests. If a follower choses me for a reason, I feel I should give them the same courtesy of considering following them back, as each individual is important. That’s just the way I see it! Do you have any suggestions for me? I just hate to autofollow back. I know many who do once they hit around 1,000 followers, and simply “weed out” spammers, pornographers, etc, as they find them in their stream. But I hate my stream to be polluted as I don’t feel I have time to read junk when I want to read other things as the stream goes by! Do you have any suggestions or solutions. There doesn’t seem to be any perfect solution…
