&lt;p&gt;• Be sure your posts are interesting! – Its just as easy to choose to unfollow you as to follow you.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Follow others – The more people you follow, the more people will follow &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Know your goals – Knowing your goals helps you determine what to post &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and when to post it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Use shortened URL’s - You only have 140 characters, and can often use &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;more than the allotted space for the URL alone.  Use the Bit.ly&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank"&gt;http://bit.ly&lt;/a&gt;) to shorten the links you post.. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Use DMs (Direct Messages) to send private messages to other &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitterers who are following you to personally address concerns. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Retweet Often, but make it good stuff! Retweeting is a common form of &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;communicating on Twitter. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Pay attention to the Trending Topics on your Twitter search page. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; These most mentioned terms show you what most people are paying &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;attention to right now and can be used for topics on your own Tweets. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Don’t spam people by sending unsolicited @messages or DM’s.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Don’t post the same messages to a multitude of accounts, or tweet the &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;same things over and over, or to a multitude of accounts. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Do not “follow churn” or follow and unfollow the same people over and &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;over. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Ask for feedback – ask friends and followers to give you feedback on &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;your website or products/services. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Put a Twitter icon on your homepag&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://baskooijman-en.tumblr.com/post/14162253522</link><guid>http://baskooijman-en.tumblr.com/post/14162253522</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:01:13 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>"Its simple but not easy"</title><description>“Its simple but not easy”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Mike Cupisz , ACN Co-Founder&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://baskooijman-en.tumblr.com/post/12513352239</link><guid>http://baskooijman-en.tumblr.com/post/12513352239</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:11:05 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title>New RD Compansation impact!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style2"&gt;New Regional Director (RD) Compensation &amp;amp; Qualification Impact&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;• As of 1st November, there will be more than double the amount of current RDs&lt;br/&gt;• As of 31st October, any existing RDs will continue to receive current RD residuals in November 2011, December 2011 and January 2012&lt;br/&gt;• As of 1st November, RDs will no longer receive open line RD residual commissions&lt;/p&gt;

On Saturday, ACN Co-Founder, &lt;strong&gt;Tony Cupisz,&lt;/strong&gt; announced the launch of your personalised &lt;strong&gt;ACN Online Shop&lt;/strong&gt;, included as part of the Team Trainer Success System Fee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will revolutionise the way you build your ACN business and it is available right now for you to activate and start acquiring customers in every country in which ACN operates. The barriers of knowing every detail about the products and services in every country are gone. You can send all your potential customers to your own personalised website and be confident that every customer will count towards your qualifications once they sign up for any of ACN’s broad array of products and services.  &lt;span class="ecxstyle18"&gt;Let’s go shopping!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="ecxstyle13"&gt;OPPORTUNITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;ACN is about to launch two brand new videos for the ACN Opportunity Dual Disc and Distributor Websites. The first is a new five-minute&lt;strong&gt; Opportunity video&lt;/strong&gt; encompassing all product categories to help you pique someone’s interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second is an eleven-minute &lt;strong&gt;Business Presentation video&lt;/strong&gt; which you can use as a complete presentation of the 1 through 10 business presentation. You can use the new Business Presentation video at Business Opportunity Meetings or when conducting one-on-one presentations with potential new Representatives. This is must-have training for anyone starting out in their ACN business and it simplifies the recruiting process even more. The English versions will be available in mid November and other language versions will follow thereafter.&lt;/p&gt;
