That’s because there is one more thing you need to do, and this is the most important thing. You need to engage with your audience. Engagement happens not just when you send tweets out, but when you have conversations with others directly using their @username in public mentions or privately send them direct messages (note that you can only send direct messages to those who are following you).

If only twitter had skype-like built-in video we could see each other more and be more personable with our twitter network. Nothing builds loyalty better than face to face. Thanks Jac.

I am no Twitter expert but always love the idea of less automation and more engagement with loyal collaborative people. Excellent blog, Bear.

I’m mostly a curator too at this point but I do believe that creating our own branded content will play a larger role in the future for most marketers. Here’s a decent infographic example http://designtaxi.com/news/356382/A-Guide-That-Matches-Beard-Styles-With-Their-Typography-Soulmates/ …this type of content would be easy for us designer types to come up with. Good luck and hope to see you blogging soon. Hi Jeffrey, thanks for stopping by.

I agree 100%, Twitter is about building trust, putting out "good information" and building relationships. Fabulous blog as always!

As you know, I'm not exactly a newbie on Twitter but I am a SM novice and lately I've been contemplating ways to expand my community with quality, like-minded people. Ultimately, I want to learn how Twitter can help my business but I've discovered that doesn't necessarily mean PROMOTING my business on Twitter. You've provided some solid standards here to keep in mind as I further forge a strategy. I appreciate your willingness to answer questions I've posed and some I hadn't even thought of. I'm still in curator mode for now but we designers are natural creators so I'll be cooking up ideas for a blog soon enough (please don't tell @KrisColvin or she will hound me relentlessly). In regard to our little contest of completing a blog post by Friday, 3/8 or else 40 push ups... I'm introducing my face to the floor right now. ;-) Thanks for posting this Bear!
