Recently I’ve come across lots of different articles about Twitter, and how to use it “properly” in order to help get more followers. There are obviously different reasons that people use Twitter, but some of the guidelines being set are actually quite helpful if people take the time to read them. As I touched on during my last Twitter post, it is actually very different from Facebook, and that got me thinking: how do you use your Twitter account?

The point of this poll is a personal vs professional usage comparison. Some people try to use Twitter to constantly post links to their new website, whereas some may use it to constantly update the world about their eating habits – but both techinques would probably result in a very low amount of followers. Is it a case of finding the right balance between personal and professional use that leads to ‘success’ (in terms of followers), or should you just post updates relevant to the audience you want to target? Let’s find out.

Do you have a strategy when using Twitter? Or do you just update with whatever you feel like at the time? Vote on the poll and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
