The longer I study Twitter and Facebook, the more I realize it is all about tweeting with attitude.  The way you phrase things can make a big difference in whether or not your messages will be read.  Here are some thoughts on messages that have some attitude.

One of my favorite tactics is to be definitive in my message. Get it said with as few a words as possible. I used to have a boss that told me “5 words or less, Ray!” This hold true for getting to the point!

Another tactic is to use some humor in your messages.  Life is serious enough now, without someone getting too serious with the messages we read. That is why, I believe, people love funny jokes, cartoons, videos, etc.  If you can get a bit of humor in your message, it will almost always increase the hits.

 I throw this one in for my daughter.  Try the OMG shock value!  People love shocking and amazing stories as well. Give people a little OMG factor, and it may be more than they can handle.

Messages about current events and famous people can also help get your message out to the world.  One of my personal favs of the past was “Barach does this. You should too! “ This is not always an easy task for every type of business, but it did work to promote  a Twitter article.

So, that is what I mean by tweeting with attitude.  If you are going to tell me about what type of oatmeal you had for breakfast, then you had better tell me Barach eats it, or it was purple, or you spilled it all over your spouse’s new shoes!  There you have it!
