TWITTER

Twitter profile – bio

I left your website address as

thechinasourcingexperts.com to re-

emphasize your expertise for this

particular audience. Please double

check the rest of the information is

correct ...

Your tweets are –not- posting automatically to FB at

this time – I do not recommend that setting as you

should repost your content directly onto FB in the

right format and with a different/longer message,

without hashtags or any other Twitter garble.

This is where your 140 character bio appears – note, it does not need to be in full

sentences. Also, your website address is visible and is a live link (SEO bonus). Use

#hashtags to help people identify you quickly.

List either your location or phone # if you don’t have a location...

This symbolizes a

retweet ... i.e. you

have reshared

information one of

the people you follow

originally shared
