With the adding of the new features, Twitter has become a much more powerful tool for people wanting to establish meaningful relationships online. So what are the essential things to do in order to connect with people better on Twitter? There are 15 techniques that seem to work particularly well for me.
Let’s go over each of them quickly in the following section.
1. Tweet out something regularly, but not too often
2. Make sure you tweet something valuable that help people learn
3. When you RT, add your own thoughts to make you look real
4. Do not use auto-tweet, which makes you look like a robot
5. Answer your followers’ tweets and treat them seriously (Learn this from Gary Vaynerchuk @Garyvee)
6. Do not spam people in the DM
7. Ask a question every now and then, and measure whether there is an increase in the amount of answers you receive
8. Try to tweet more often during peak hours (9 AM – 12 PM EST would be ideal)
9. Write blog posts about Twitter occasionally to demonstrate your knowledge in this area
10. Try to have more conversations instead of RTing stuff all the time
11. Tweet inspiring quotes every once in a while (People have bad days)
12. Do not tweet affiliate links (Read 50 things not to do when you tweet)
13. Add humor into your tweets
14. Avoid the F-Bomb or any words like that (People walk away from rude people)
15. Tweet “Thank You” for people you want to how appreciation to
Conclusion
Some of these techniques are simple to implement. Some others may require time and dedication. Given that I am a full time Internet entrepreneur, you may find some of my suggestions challenging.

I promise you will see amazing results, starting from now. So what is your best Twitter practice?
