How to Properly Use Twitter as a Writer

by ADMIN on JULY 27, 2012
Twitter is a great way to network with people, and share ideas and information. The best part is that it is completely free, and you can share your ideas with the world with a single click. Twitter has made it possible for people to market their businesses, as well as look for new opportunities. Twitter has also afforded technical writers with an opportunity to advance their careers, and it is a good idea for these writers to take advantage of what Twitter has to offer.
Twitter is not only used by friends who want to keep in touch. There are many big businesses and corporations with a presence on Twitter, and they are able to really benefit on everything that Twitter has to offer. So for a technical writer looking to make it in their field, then Twitter is the perfect place to make a debut, as well as let potential employers know about your skills, and eventually hire your services.
For freelance technical writers, it is actually quite easy to take advantage of Twitter. All you need is an account. Once you open up your Twitter account, remember to keep your profile professional. This is not the place to post photos of your out-of-town escapades last weekend. Keep the profile professional, and make sure that you share your contact information including phone number, email address or even physical address. This makes it much easier for potential employers to contact you.
The next step is to search what you are looking for in terms of the kind of job that you want. You can key in “Software Company”, and you will be able to get a list of the available software companies. This will help you to identify the particular one that you want, and send an invitation to follow you. Once they accept to do so, you are almost done with the job.
Next, it is time to send out your resume. Be sure to highlight your skills and experience as a technical writer. This will give you a better chance at landing the job that you are looking for. Twitter is a great way for writers and others with certain skills to be able to land jobs, and be able to make an income using Twitter.
