Change it up a bit. The first time you might tweet the headline of the post with a link. The second time, try paraphrasing the topic or theme of the post, and adding a link. I normally don't tweet about a new blog post three times, but if you do, did you get any interesting comments? That might be something to tweet about, i.e., "Getting some good comments on (fill in topic of blog post here), check it out: (link here)." Michelle R.

I've been trying to decide how many times to tweet one thing. Some say to tweet it a few times a day because you have different readers at different times of the day but that seems unprofessional to me, right now I only tweet my blog posts and articles one time and mix in other topics as well, what do you think? I like #3, the only thing I drink while tweeting is my coffee ;) Excellent tips!!! Michelle,
