Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

At this moment I am currently writing a new Twitter Marketing for Dummies book from Wiley Publishing. I am going to be featuring some Twitter users in the back of the book and I need some Twitter marketing thoughts in 140 characters or less. I am going to (of course) use Smaller Indiana people first. There are two ways you can submit a Twitter comment:

1. Place the 140 character post including your Twitter name into the forum below.

2. Send a tweet out into the realm of the unknown using the hashtag : #twitterdummy

Example: Remember to listen and then react. This is important when using Twitter. #twitterdummy

We will be compiling the entries and then placing them in a special Twitter Marketing Thoughts in the book of the Twitter Marketing for Dummies book. Remember, I am looking for Twitter Marketing thoughts based solely on marketing advice while using Twitter.

Thanks everyone!

Don't spam people. Try to offer a good balance of business and personal tweets. People will relate better and you won't be annoying. - @christianelden

How about:

"Great article: "Everything you know about linking to inflammatory blog posts is WRONG and why!" (really good stuff) [insert link]"
@smjdesign

-or-

"Wonderful post listing 9 out of the 10 things you already know about marketing. Read it now or your business will be over tomorrow! [insert link]"

Twitter: not for the misanthropic. @pauldandrea

Twitter: You've only got 140 characters, so make it short and sweet. Links, RT's and creativity make a great Twitter Tweet. @derekmcclain

Twittering is two way communication. Be responsive to your followers and the numbers will grow. @sunshinetricia

Here are a couple of thoughts:

Engage your followers by asking and answering questions to interact with the Twitter community. It's a two way street, not a one way alley. @DeniseMichelle

Be polite--thank those who retweet your posts. Send tailored direct messages when someone requests to follow you vs. a standard reply. @DeniseMichelle

Remember, your tweet will always be out there (probably even if you delete it). In the end, God and Google will find you out. @smjdesign

Here's my contribution:

Twitter does not make people interesting. People already *were* interesting, Twitter just helps us listen like never before. #twitterdummy

Twitter is another technology of tradeoffs. It expands your reach to millions, but limits your voice to the sacrosanct 140. #twitterdummy11

To understand Twitter, realize that Twitter functions at the speed and cost of thought: infinite and zero, respectively. #twitterdummy

The only way to get beyond the Twitter noise is with personal interaction. Get to know your followers. - @chucklasker

Don't tell me how to get more followers. I will unfollow you. Share with me, respond to me, and I'll share what you've got! -@mirandamccage

Tweet like a child would. Be real, simple, and entertaining. -@jillianmk

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
