Choose a head-shot (or have one taken) that communicates warmth and accessibility. Don\u2019t use a photo from your college graduation ceremony or something that aims for \u201cironic\u201d or \u201camusing.\u201d <em>People want to know what you look like now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"\/blog\/2014\/06\/twitter-insights-for-ceos\/twitter-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13965 noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13965\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twitter-profile.jpg\" alt=\"twitter profile\" width=\"590\" height=\"396\" \/><\/a><b>2) Fill out your personal profile. <\/b>Twitter makes it easy to complete your bio and profile information. Select a user name that aptly describes you and your personality (incorporating your brand name if it feels right.) Consult your marketing team to ensure that the information you provide is aligned with the company\u2019s overall brand message. Be sure to include a link back to your company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p><b>3) Tweet content of value, both personal and professional. <\/b>As with most CEOs who are new to Twitter, you\u2019ll quickly find there\u2019s a wealth of content to offer your growing base of followers. Start with what\u2019s happening in your business \u2013 new products, updates, high-level executive hires, etc. Just remember that <em>Twitter is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">not<\/span> the place to be blatantly promotional and it is a real turn-off for followers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If your company blog offers \u201chow-to\u201d tips revolving around your product or service, share links to those posts with your followers. A good rule of thumb is, <em>focus on content that can improve the lives of your customer<\/em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">s<\/span> (and people in general).<\/p>\n<p>How personal should your tweets get? The short answer is \u2014 not too much. Your followers want to know something about your personal life (hobbies, travel, sports, favorite foods, etc.), but only in moderation and carefully interspersed among tweets relating to your business. If you can find a way to connect your personal interests to your business, all the better.<\/p>\n<p><em>One key rule of thumb to keep in mind: Stay away from politics.<\/em> Unless there\u2019s a direct correlation to your product or service, you run the risk of alienating followers if you get into the political realm.<\/p>\n<p><b>4) Be yourself. <\/b>People know \u201cauthentic\u201d when they see it, so any attempt to fabricate a flashy Twitter persona will likely fail. Keep your tweets free of industry jargon and express yourself as you normally do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t overdo the personal tweets and social media messages, but remember that you&#8217;re posting as a human being, and that most people prefer to do business with other human beings, not faceless corporations,\u201d says Nathalie Lussier, creator of the <a title=\"website checkup tool\" href=\"https:\/\/nathalielussier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website Checkup Tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>5) Respond to comments in a timely manner. <\/b>Twitter is all about conversations and engaging people in discussions about all manner of topics. When someone comments on one of your tweets, respond in a direct message with a polite \u201cThank you\u201d; or whatever else may be appropriate for the initial tweet comment received. The same holds true for anyone who shares one of your tweets with their own followers.<\/p>\n<p>In that same spirit, when you read a tweet of value and relevance to your industry, re-tweet it to your followers and keep the conversation going.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13968\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13968\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/blog\/2014\/06\/twitter-insights-for-ceos\/original-tweet_retweet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13968 noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-13968\" title=\"Click &quot;Retweet&quot; to share the link directly as it appears. \" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/original-tweet_retweet.jpg\" alt=\"original tweet_retweet\" width=\"593\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13968\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click &#8220;Retweet&#8221; to share the link directly as it appears.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Be sure to give the original tweeter credit by either either re-tweeting them directly (as shown in the example above), or simply adding your own commentary before the re-tweet (as shown in the example below).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13969\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/blog\/2014\/06\/twitter-insights-for-ceos\/original-tweet_comment-rt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13969 noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-13969\" title=\"Retweeting by adding your own commentary before sharing with your followers.\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/original-tweet_comment-RT.jpg\" alt=\"original tweet_comment RT\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Retweeting by adding your own commentary before sharing with your followers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In general, focus on engaging with others in your field, rather than simply accumulating followers \u2014 an approach that offers significantly greater ROI.<\/p>\n<p><b>6) Find a social media managing tool to help you schedule your posts. <\/b>To save time and make your efforts more efficient, <a title=\"Top 10 Tools For Managing Your Social Media Accounts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/top-10-tools-managing-social-media-accounts\/87843\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">find a social media management tool<\/a> that helps you track conversations, measure results and schedule your daily posts. <a title=\"hootsuite products\" href=\"https:\/\/hootsuite.com\/products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hootsuite<\/a> is the most popular social media management tool, but there are many others out there that offer similar services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLead by example,\u201d says Reid Carr, President of Red Door Interactive. \u201cIf you are asking your staff to tweet, it\u2019s important that you <a title=\"WHAT SHOULD CEOS TWEET? 7 TIPS TO BECOME MORE &quot;SOCIALLY&quot; ACTIVE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/1699460\/what-should-ceos-tweet-7-tips-become-more-socially-active\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">practice what you preach<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plenty of prominent CEOs maintain high-profile Twitter accounts, such as Richard Branson, Eric Schmidt, Jack Welch and Marisa Mayer.
