    Chris shares the best way to approach Twitter and how to avoid the biggest mistakes people make. He also highlights the importance of attraction, retention and conversion for your business blog.  Be sure to read the other takeaways listed below.

    Here are other things to pick up in this video:

    On Twitter:

    • Do not go into all guns blazing
    • Listen, get to know people there
    • Research to find out if people are interested in what you want to talk about
    • Tweet as you’d like to be tweeted to
    • Engage people and have conversations
    • Don’t simply shout out broadcasts

    On engagement:

    • Look after the people you’ve already got
    • The more “me” you say, the more people say “go away”
    • Write for your audience and not yourself or what you are interested in

    On attraction

    • Great content is key
    • Networking wherever you go
    • Mention your blog when you can and include a call to action with a benefit to your audience

    Content is King, but a king without an army is a man in a funny hat:
