So now that you have a few followers and are following a few people, it is time to post your first tweet!

What is A Tweet?

A tweet is a 140 character comment or status that you share on your Twitter feed. You can choose from having your tweets public for everyone to see, or private so only your followers can see.

Since this isn't a personal account, I suggest keeping your profile public.

You can tweet images or videos; and not just the ones on your phone. You can share YouTube videos, and images online as well.

The key to a successful tweet is: asking questions, implementing current events, news related to your niche; but most importantly, your tweets should provide value to your followers.

The best way to do this is to share information about your niche that you feel people may learn from. This can range from tips, news, and your personal opinion.

The number one place you should be gathering and sharing value from to your Twitter followers is your website!

Every time you create new content, make sure you share it to your Twitter feed so that your followers can see it. This is a free and efficient way to get targeted traffic to your site.

When sharing your content from your site to Twitter, make sure that your tweets are not dull; otherwise people won't click on your links if they are not intrigued by your tweets.

Now it's time to go out there and create your first tweet. In the next lesson, I am going to show you a way to increase the reach of your tweets so that you can gain more traffic to your site!
