I see so many people jumping into Twitter and other social networking sites with their urls ready to send you off to purchase their latest and greatest stuff.

Thank you for an article that teaches a common sense approach to social networking. It's kind of unfortunate that it even has to be taught. I'd like to think that most people wouldn't walk into someone's home and try to pitch their business opportunity. Perry Belcher wrote a great post a while back on this subject. He said to act as if you're attending someone's party. Go and have fun. Talk with people and get to know them. I like that approach.

All the best,
Theresa

My favorite @BethSchneider video was from a cruise ship w/ an incompatible power outlet for her blow dryer and her hair had taken on new dimensions that she wouldn't show on the video. It was so funny and so her!

You know it is ALWAYs a pleasure to read your posts Nancy. They are useful, snappy and just the right length. You are the epitome of setting the example of adding value. Thank you for an insightful post. I also read this post from Copyblogger on viral tweets which was also interesting.

Love your post as always. One thing I'd like to add, which you implied but didn't come out and say, is don't be afraid to let your personality come thru. Let it show by how you phrase things or your sense of humor. Example -- one of my friends who grew up in LA, @bethscheinder had a tweet that went something like this -- "it's raining out, and since I grew up in LA, I think I'll melt in the rain. So I'm staying in." See how she got her personality thru? She could have just said "it's raining out." But instead she took something mundane and with her unique way of phrasing it let her personality come thru.

Nice article on the right things to do. Next one should maybe be about what NOT to do. Things like trying to sound like an authority on a subject by just posting a bunch of links. There's nothing wrong with informational links that add value, but when someone keeps posting links one right after another it gets a little annoying. There's no connection or relationship when someones Twitter is just an aggregated news feed. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Catherine, your comment reminds me of Cyrano de Bergerac speaking to Roxanne on behalf of his friend. At the end, if you can't hold up the conversation on your own, you'll fall flat.

I love that line "Pitch hay, not your followers". It pays to be the real, authentic you - even in just 140 characters. If anything, the sales veneer shows up more when you have to keep it short.

If I could add one more thing, it would be this: don't give away your authenticity and destroy your credibility by letting someone else tweet for you. Nobody else can be you, and you won't get the benefit of LISTENING to your followers.

Nancy, you are my Twitter muse, and I love every post! Muchos gracias, amiga!

I love your posts because they are always juicy and wise! I have also seen your tweets about the KLT - Know Like and Trust. I always say "if you're in this business to "sell" you might as well get out now!" Building relationships is what it's all about. I've met some terrific people by just tweeting back and forth. As always, great article Nancy!

Great tips, Nancy! I popped over when @melaniward tweeted about your post and I've just re-tweeted it because sometimes the things you might think go without saying need to be said, and you've done so beautifully.

Thanks for the useful tips, as usual. I think we can summarize them to say, "be yourself and be genuine." some tweeple try too hard.
