This is a guide to what you should be talking about, tweeting about, and sharing when you are use Twitter to build your business.

1. When you tweet, you should remember to post interesting information. What you had for dinner, what you like about yourself, etc. is not interesting to a large following unless you are a celebrity.

2. When you tweet, provide information that is relevant to your consumers. They will follow you only if you are giving them information that they want to have. Look and see what the trending topics are, what users are looking at and sharing, and try to provide them with information along the same lines.

- Customer service information, how to get help, answers to frequently asked questions, and other customer service department help.
- You ought to tweet links to your blog posts, in order to help gain more traffic and recognition of your site, without blatantly self-promoting.
- You should tweet industry news, and other interesting facts that are related to your industry.
- Updates about the products and services you offer. You may want to tweet about new products, product changes, changes to service, and more.
- Any events of special offers that your company offers. Twitter can be a great platform for announcements.
