Hi.
Now it’s more than likely that you found this post/link either by doing a search-engine search for Twitter Tips for Photographers or via Twitter itself.
Whichever way you found this post I really hope the following Twitter Tips For Photographers are helpful to you.
-
Follow people who follow you. Don’t just push out your own news, listen to your audience too.
-
Tweet your blog posts: A great way for increasing traffic to you blog
-
Don’t use TwitterFeed etc: Although clever, pushing out random headlines to people doesn’t make a good Twitter account
-
Tweet when you upload new work to your Website, Flickr etc: Keep your followers up to date of your recent work.people see your recent work
-
Be a one-stop shop for information: Re-tweet your followers’ (relevant) interesting posts.
-
Tweet to let people know of other photographers whose work you admire: You like them so it’s likely that your followers will too.
-
Now and then ask for a ReTweet: The more your Tweets get ReTweeted by others, the more authority Twitter will give to your account and help the chances of getting suggested.
-
Tweet about new equipment you’ve found and love: Keep your followers in the loop.
-
Tweet regularly: One Tweet every few weeks isn’t going to work. To find quality followers you need to Tweet great information often, up to 10 Tweets a day. – Retweet 50% of the time, Tweet your own stuff 40% and limit general interest, funny links, daily activities, etc., only 10% of the time.
-
Don’t tweet too often!: Regular tweets are good but too many come annoying and are a sure way to turn people off
-
Tweet photography tips and tutorials: Either your own or links to other information you have found
-
Keep it Professional: Your business Twitter account is a reflection of your brand, don’t do anything to jeopardise it

Use photography hash-tags: Like #photographer #togs #photography
-
Use URL shorteners: Such as tinyurl.com
-
Add yourself to directories: Such as wefollow.com

Search for and Follow people you want to work with: If you’re a wedding photographer, search for Wedding Venues, Florists, Make-up Artists, Wedding Car companies in your area and follow them.
