Don't over-tweet. Tweet keeping in mind the quality rather than the quantity.

Don't follow too many people at a particular time

Don't follow and unfollow people in succession. Do this, leaving a time gap of a few days in between each follow and unfollow.

Don't send self promotional or spam material in your tweets. You will most likely get blocked by your followers.

Don't automate sending direct messages to your followers. Use automation to help you with your tasks on Twitter.

Don't use corporate or technical jargon unless you are addressing audience that are comfortable with it.


Do tweet every day

Do tweet for some fun and never be too serious about what you want to tweet

Do put your name on your tweets. Anonymous tweets will not be taken seriously by anybody

Do create a bio that stands out and which briefly talks about your personality.

Do re-tweet tweets worth sharing

Do mix humor in your tweets. Humor helps you drive your point home with greater ease than you would otherwise.

Do use TweetDeck to group and list your tweets appropriately. Use group names such as must-reads, friends, etc.

Do acknowledge your new followers by sending direct messages.
