One of the first things to try to figure out is, “What in the world do I say on here?” Here are 10 things for you to do on Twitter that will hopefully kickstart the process.

  1. Say what you’re doing. Maybe its a once in a lifetime even. example
  2. Share a photo or set of photos. example
  3. Share a recent blog post of yours, or better yet of a friend. example
  4. Launch a new product and listen to the conversation around it.
  5. Ask a question, and you might just get a fix or answer.
  6. Promote an event that you’re attending to find other people going.
  7. ReTweet (RT) a Tweet for someone else to spread the message to your network as well as theirs. If you are hoping for someone to retweet a message of yours say, “Please RT:”
  8. Share a link to a cool new piece of technology.
  9. Tell people how you’re feeling about something. Support comes from the most unlikely places.
  10. Use Search to keep an eye on what people are saying about you and your friends.

There you go! These are still very basic intro tips. In the next few days we are going to move into some more advanced concepts and topics of social media.
