How Twitter Works ?

Twitter works best when you can actually communicate with the people that you are following, and vice versa. If you crowd your list with thousands of people you may initially get more traffic but you’ll lose out on many of the other benefits of using the site.

Before you get started with posting Twitter updates, you need to decide your primary purpose for using Twitter. If you’re focused before you get started, you’ll be able to produce better quality posts and get the right kind of traffic to your blog.

There are many different ways you can use Twitter, and everyone uses it a little bit different. Consider these different ways of using the platform when you decide how you’re going to use it:
-To build your expertise and your authority in a niche
-To drive more traffic to your blog
-To brand yourself
-To be more social with your readers
-To make your blog more of a community experience

You can do all of this and more with your Twitter account, or you can choose just one aspect and run with that. Keep in mind though that if you decide that you’re going to use it
just to post links to your blog, you’re going to be a bit disappointed.
Since Twitter is a social networking tool, people will quickly unsubscribe from your updates. On Twitter, people want to know more about you and see a more personal side of you. This is why it’s such a powerful way to drive traffic to your blog.

There are a few different ways of posting on Twitter that you need to know about.

*First, there’s a regular post. When you type in a message to Twitter and hit “update” it will be viewable by all the people who are following you.
*The next type of post is a reply. When you type in a regular message, people may reply to your post. You’ll see your user name with the symbol @ before it when someone replies to your message. You can respond to other people the same way. You simply type @ and then their user name directly after that. Replies are viewable by everyone who is following you or the other person you are replying to.
*Finally, there’ a direct message. If you want to send a private message to someone that no one else can see, you can send a direct message. To do so, simply type the letters dm with the person’s user name. You’ll receive messages from others on a special page of Twitter and be notified via e-mail when someone direct messages you.
