Apart from having Ezines and Wordpress automatically feed Twitter, there are various ways you can focus on giving to others with it. I have created a list of 5 things that give you the satisfaction of sharing with others useful information on Twitter, instead of rambling on about how “ticked off I am that it is raining”-useless information! I am not condemning fun on Twitter. However if you are following 10 people, and one of them just focuses on personal expressions like the one above, chances are you expect their future tweets less worthwhile.

1.    Offer a Free Report

To do this you will need a File-Transfer-Protocol so you can upload a PDF of something you want to share. Sometimes you will find it already online, in which case you can just give the link through twitter.

2.    Give people news/link to something you found that was particularly helpful to you.   

I recently added names like Timothy Ferriss and Steve Pavlina. These guys do this all the time. They will link to a website that helped them or complements the content on their blog.

3.    Promote your blog.

Of course this is being generous. You just want to hone in on Twitter WIIFM (What’s In It For Me?). Put your topic in a broad light and post it on Twitter with a URL. Twitter allows you to “mini-blog,” which means you can explore a slightly different title through it to attract visitors to your site.

4.    YouTube

This one is a no brainer. Video information is being transferred between people at an alarmingly high rate. A website that does not have some kind of movies is being ignorant of a high percentage of its visitors who may not want to read pages and pages of information.

5.    Announce your presence

Making face on through various events is important. Don’t be a faceless blogger who never shows up in public. Create free speaking events or just an event for coffee reserved for your readers. I understand websites and blogs are global, however there could be people who are in town and would like to meet you.

And that’s it really. What you want to do is create anticipation from your follows so that you keep going back for more updates.

Live for something!
