Optimising Your Twitter Profile

[Scottish Business Owner]

The folks at Twittercounter have written a blog post about cleaning up and optimising yout Twitter profile which is pretty apt given it's the start of a new year and all that. You can find the post here:

I think it's a really good read and I've already put some of it into practice myself

What do you think? Will you be doing the same? How do you keep your Twitter profile fresh, interesting and relevant?

I think that the main thing you have to do is to decide who you're tweeting for, and stick to it. For example, I don't particularly like seeing people who I work with in a professional sense post about their personal lives and send jokes to their friends - particularly as they sometimes portray themselves in a rather negative light. So I would suggest having two profiles; a private profile and a professional profile.

Also, don't spam your followers with tweets. Tweet about what you think they'll be interested in, and if you MUST advertise, at least do it discreetly. I have found that if you post what people WANT to read about rather than what you're FORCING them to read about, you will have much better success.
