40 Ideas To Make your Business Twitter Handle Active

Twitter website mentions that Twitter has 302 million monthly active users and 500 million Tweets are sent per day! But even today, I very frequently answer questions like “Does Twitter work for businesses?” or “What can a business tweet about?” or “I don’t have time to be on Twitter – it’s for people who have no work”…arghhh…

Anyway, I have made peace with such questions – because I think these are simply because of the unawareness about the platform or the genuine lack of knowledge as to how powerfully businesses can leverage Twitter to connect and engage with prospects and customers.

In this post, I am going to share few ideas which you can use on the Twitter handle for your business –

  1. Link to a YouTube or Vimeo video relevant to your niche
  2. Link to a list of blogs which could be useful for your target audience
  3. A special offer – just for Twitter followers
  4. If there is a glitch in some platform, share it along with the resolution (if you know it)
  5. Connect two people, who you think will value the introductions
  6. Ask a simple question which your followers will like to answer
  7. A link to a new app/ tool you discovered
  8. Review of a new app/ tool – tag the people who you think will especially benefit from it
  9. Inspiring, motivational and relevant quotes –humor works well too!
