Key Twitter To-dos
• Follow the right people in your
area/community
• Don’t get too caught up in tweeting your
every movement
• Look at what businesses that you care about
are doing with it
• Use it to start conversations with people you
want to get to know
• Don’t take yourself too seriously

Notable social media fails and lessons learned
Some lessons learned
• Think twice (or more) before you tweet
• Do you want your mom (or teacher) to read this?
• Stay away from sex, religion, and politics – even
on your personal accounts
• Know what time of day/week to tweet for best
responses
• Listen more than post to develop your voice
• Use social management tools
http://strominator.com 33
Some other No-nos
• Don’t put non-professional items in
your status updates anywhere once
you start your business
• Don’t obsess about the number of
connections and build them slowly
over time
• Really, steer clear of politics, esp. now
Understand FB privacy settings
