As the man said, had I had more time, I would have written less.

Have to make every character count. Long, hard work sometimes.

Hi Miguel, writing for Twitter is definitely a skill in its own right.

The 140 character limit is restricting but I try to limit my tweets to a maximum of 120 characters to allow space for people to retweet them as these include your Twitter name.

It’s a real challenge to get your content noticed in amongst all the ‘noise’ but it’s a great feeling when it works.

Nice tips, Twitter certainly should not be about the hard sell. It’s a far better medium for building relationships and if you get lucky, they might turn into a sale.

Yes, twitter is helping you to search more content on your niche or market.

Twitter is a forum to drip little nuggets of commentary, wisdom and daily briefs. Just make it consistently interesting, and people will follow.

Thanks again for the tips. I already try to use interesting headlines and questions, but I�ve never put PLZ RT at the end of my tweets. I will give it a try.

Great post Miguel. I was one of those people who learned the hard way. At first I was doing tweets and was wondering why I didn’t have as many followers as I did. Then it hit me! Use engaging content or useful information that help people. Since I’ve change how I tweet, I now have more follows and have been listed several times. Thanks for sharing

I’m also struggling with the grammar debate. It’s difficult to find agency writers who can work in micro spaces and also handle full-lenght paragraphs on a site.

A lot of the best headlines are well under 140 characters. Twitter could produce some of the most succinct writers ever.

I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately: how to use Twitter. Here are three keys:

Be on target (know your followers’ interests)
Be entertaining
Be personal

But mix it up. And always be interesting no matter what you’re tweeting about.

140 characters is a bit short to write novels.I often look at how other interesting people do their tweets and then mimic their approach.It seems to be working.

Nice post, and I’m now following you on Twitter for more advice and observation. The power of Twitter to reach an audience and monitor how that audience is perceiving your company/product is huge! Your post is great advice as companies realise they need to get their head around the power of Twitter. Thanks! Mark

While I applaud the concept of copywriting for Twitter, I simply think that it is a waste of time. The 140 characters available should be used to convey useful, compelling information; there’s not much room for creativity and still be personal. By providing useful, timely content, a Twitter user will the gain the trust of followers and later be able to build on that trust in other channels.

Thanks Miguel for the respected posting. How about thinking web 2.0 just like a party before go we feel like to prepare buy something, meanwhile in party we feel hungry just got drink or buy some, after the party we feel like to have any preparation for another party and buy some too. Twittering as well chat for having feeling in relationship, then virtual become real life.
