I link my blogs to Twitter using Twitterfeed. That ensures that my followers get a good supply of excellent and relevant content, whether they are mums in business or people who are interested in PR. I log on to Twitter once or twice in the day, or occasionally in the evening if I’ve not been around during the day, so I can tell people what I’m up to and thank people who have ‘retweeted’ or passed on my messages to their followers. And I take part in ‘Follow Friday’ where you recommend good people to follow. I share what I’m working on and who I’m meeting, and even occasionally mention what I’m eating! You need to be clear that there is a personality behind the twitter account or you are missing a great chance to build a relationship with a new or potential customer.

I’ve linked up my profiles on Linked In, Ecademy, various Ning sites, the Women’s Marketing Forum and Facebook to Twitter too, so I can send updates from any of these sites, and all my Twitter updates appear on each profile too.

I use Friendfeed to link my tweets through to my Facebook account and pages. And remember to use Networked Blogs to link your blog to your Facebook page or group.
