How many people that you know are using Twitter and “tweeting” on a regular basis? Did you start out strong and have now peetered off? If you are still using Twitter and other social networking sites, how often are you pushing out information rather than pulling in information? What is your push vs. pull ratio?
Over the weekend, I received countless updates from friends telling me about their whereabouts, plans, and thoughts on any number of topics. Although I didn’t “tweet, ” I did update my Facebook page to let everyone know that my dryer broke and that I needed to buy a new one…quickly! The great thing about posting information is that most of the time people become engaged and participate. I received several recommendations for places to buy my new dryer. Very helpful.
How often are you using social networking sites to push out information? I’ve pushed out questions asking for information about electricians, contractors, cars, social networking do’s and don’ts, and many other things. I also scour posts to see what type of information I can pull my way. If you are using these sites, are you truly getting everything you can from them? When you “tweet” do you make statements or are you asking questions trying to engage your followers?
My goal for this week is to “tweet” a relevant question to drive my Twitter followers to my Facebook page to engage in conversation. Will see if it works!
