Twitter pages

I’ve never really got on that well with twitter, I find it so fast moving I can’t keep up with it! I’ve linked it to my facebook page though so that it automatically tweets whatever I post on my business page, and that’s just about all I can manage!
Mine is https://twitter.com/dragonflylane23 if anybody wants to follow me, and I’ll go through and follow some of those above me here :smile:

Hi all - I’ve followed all the ones after me I think!

Hi, I am new to Folksy and Twitter. I am going to try and follow as many people as poss here. However I am unsure what to tweet. Do I just press the tweet button every time I list or is that considered spam?

Confused novice,

Alex

Hi Alex, tweeting when you list isn’t considered spam unless that’s all you tweet. To get the most out of twitter, you need to chat to people on there, retweet other’s tweets and build up a following.

I have found a few people who guest blog for me on my blog and I often get responses from when I tweet - most of my tweets are Fb posts that automatically go on twitter, but i do make sure i tweet directly on there as well.

Learning to be a geek … Now that’s original! LOL!

If you have any products / supplies that are geek-inspired then you can join the chat. it’s just networking via twitter.

You share your products, retweets others, follow each other etc

My brand is ‘Detola & Geek’ I’m Detola (Tola) and my son is a (Funky) Geek. Also some of the fabrics I used are geeky like this ‘Big Bang waves’ inspired lampshade http://folksy.com/items/6493963-Handmade-Lampshade-in-a-Blue-Chevron-Monochrome-African-Print-Fabric-Geek-Gift

Hi everyone, as a brand new person to Twitter this has all been really helpful. I am going to have a ‘go’ at handmade hour tonight… And I will try and follow you all too! I’m @SRainbow_TB on Twitter,
Teresa

@mattspop - just followed you

So inspired by this thread I’ve now joined Twitter @shineonshop but I’ve spent so long reading this thread and then setting it up, I’ve run out of time for properly getting started tonight. I’m Twitter illiterate, it’s gonna take me some time :smile:

I’m pretty sure I’m following some of you, and will get stuck in tomorrow.

Edit: got it wrong already :blush: https://twitter.com/shineonshop

Hi everyone! I’m sure I already follow some of you, and will work through the list.
I used to spend quite a lot of time on Twitter, especially some of the local or craft “Hours”, but have been away for a while. This should kick me back into signing in more regularly.

I’m https://twitter.com/rosesworkshop if you would like to say hello.

Tweeting a couple of new listings a day is fine, but try to tweet / retweet other stuff too. If you use one of those robot thingies to tweet every item in your shop every hour it’s really annoying and people will unfollow you.

Not sure how I missed this thread but I have just caught up and followed everyone up to here. I am here https://twitter.com/rosart74 Rosalind x

I’m on Twitter too http://twitter/fizzijayne Tweet soon x

I adore Twitter :smile:

I scatter my item ads inbetween the rest of my tweets and RTs, and if you follow me, you’ll get quite a lot of tweets about Texas, prisons and music, so I wont be offended if you decide not to LOL

Hi all, I am relatively new to Twitter too, all a bit overwhelming and massive learning curves … slowly but surely … My Twitter link
www.twitter.com/WaldiMint
Been doing a regular post on my facebook page ( www.facebook.com/WaldiMint) which has been good, but trying to expand my audience.
Twitter is fast and I think I need to post more and link to facebook …?

Just followed you, and a few others that I missed earlier. This social media lark could be a full time job in itself :wink:

With regard to FB, do you like other pages from your business page, or personal pages? Am finding this all very confuzzling.

Thank you!
I have liked your FB page!
I try and keep my personal and art/business pages separate and when I am promoting my work or others or liking other artist and crafters I use FB as WaldiMint.
I do sometimes ‘share’ artists and crafters pages I find on FB to my personal page too … It’s all a bit of trial and error! I don’t want to bombard people as its a real turn off ( or I find it is) but trying to hit a happy middle. I post to FB once or twice a week … Like my FB page and we can learn from each other :slight_smile:
Agree social media is almost a full time occupation!
Cheers :slight_smile:

Can anyone tell me how to link Twitter and FB?
Do I do it from Twitter? Or FB ?
A link would be great - want to link a managed page on FB to my Twitter
:slight_smile: thank you
