Let people know what you want to talk about
The first facet of tweeting to focus on is showing people what interests you.

This is the most important facet of tweeting and spending time and focus on your profile and tweets will help reflect what your interests are and this will help attract the people you want to interact with.
shoot someone
A lot of Twitter newbies don’t know where to start in terms of connection; you can greet someone in your network to start a conversation. You can mention them for #FollowFriday by saying something nice about the person. Always include your Twitter ID. An alternative is to publicly mention how you appreciate that person.
Show people you listen to them
When you show people that you actually listen to their conversations, they will in turn take an interest in you and eventually become your followers. A great way to show that you’re listening to people is to provide links to their conversations. Your conversations can be anything from the personal (birthdays, anniversaries) to the more intellectually charged, like LinkedIn questions or business blog posts.
Tweet with content to start conversations
Once you already have someone following you or in your network, it’s time to start a real conversation. The best way to do this is by asking provocative questions.
Introduce people to other people within your network
This is a great way to help other people increase their associations. As you progress with Twitter, you’ll meet more and more people who share similar interests as you. Introduce them to other members of your network. They will pay more attention to you and eventually do the same for you.
So there you have it. 5 ways that can help you get more connections for your business through Twitter. If you want to make the connection more personal, take it a step further by calling that person via chat or Skype. It’s always a good step up for something new.
