If you are a Doctor: you can use

@DrEmma

3. Do… Learn the lingo. Don’t join the crowd.

Twitter has a quirky lingo all its own

A few of the essentials:

• DM = Direct Message• @ = Use to reply and always include proceeding a

Twitter ID in a reply•

RT = Retweet

• Tweet = Sending a message on Twitter

7. Do… Promote others and share your best information

Twitter is all about karma. The more good you put out there, the more you receive.

When you find others with great information,

don’t be shy in sharing with your community.

It’s a great feeling when you promote one of your followers

(instead of yourself) and it results in dialogue among your community.

It ultimately reflects support for you and credibility for your follower. Win-win!

8. Do… Learn the etiquette.

Most important is to learn about when you should “@” versus DM (i.e. Direct Message)

Don’t repeat your content -Your content becomes less valuable

when people see the same thing repeated too many times…especially right in a row.

Thanking each of your new followers -It’s a nice concept to thank

each of your new social media connections .

Getting someone’s attention - Want to make a connection with someone,

send them a direct message to get things started.

A lot of people on Twitter get direct messages sent to their email or mobile phone.)
