10 Tips to Fit a Novel into Your Twitter Updates
By Josh Fuller on Jul 14, 2009 in Twitter
When writing a Twitter post, you only have 140 characters to send. You are about to learn 10 tips to fit a novel into your Twitter updates.
1. Use Symbols- Use $ instead of dollars, + instead of “and,” % instead of “percent”
2. Use TwitterKeys- Go to www.thenextweb.com/2008/09/16/twitterkeys-enhance-your-twitter-conversations/ to get 200 symbols you can copy and paste in your update box.
3. Use Abbreviations- FYI (for your information) LOL (laughing out loud), etc
4. Use Shorter Words- Use “yes” instead of “agreed,” use “mad” instead of “perturbed.”
5. Avoid Being Wordy- there are many grammar books that can help you with this.
6. Get Straight to the Point- Don’t say hello, how are you today? Make your point without all the fluff.
7. Shorten the URL- Use services like www.tinyrurl.com or www.snurl.com
8. Post Twice- If you can’t get your point across in one post, post two.
9. Post More Often- If you post often you can get your message out easier than once a month.
10. Link to Another Page- If can be a challenge to explain detailed points in 140 characters, often it’s necessary to link to other pages. For example, I’m becoming a billionaire before the age of 30 years old, to see how I am doing it, go to www.billionairebythirty.com
