Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms nowadays, and it is the number one network in micro-blogging (posting short updates and messages under 150-200 characters). Having a Twitter account is a must for anyone socially active and/or who wants to communicate/sell something to customers.

But there is a certain unspoken code of conduct on Twitter, which new users (whether big companies that are looking for new customers or just individual people who want to connect with their friends) don’t know anything about, so they end up making exactly the same mistakes.

Networking is great way to promote your blog, but it is hard to connect with other bloggers. There is short list of to-do things.

1. Giving
You need to think about networking as long-term process. If you want to get long-term benefits you’ll have to give away lots of links and other things. Help people to reach their goals and they will start to like you.

2. Start with small bloggers
Every blogger wants to have top bloggers in his niche in his network, but for small bloggers it is rather impossible. You need to start with small bloggers in your niche. It is easier to connect with 10 bloggers with 500 readers per day than with one blogger who has 5000 readers – but effect is the same.

3. Keep your blog quality
Nobody wants to link low quality blogs. You need to work hard on your blog to make impression on other bloggers.

4. Think out-of-box
It is great to be connected with bloggers in your niche, but you can also connect with bloggers in n neighboring niches. Example: readers of real estate investing can be also interested in money making online.

5. Write quality comments
You have to write a little bit longer and high quality comments on other blogs to be spotted by author.

6. Be patient
Sometimes you’ll need to write 50 comments and mails to become friend with blogger.
