What is the best way to use twitter to promote my blog?

Hi Peter,

Promoting your site through twitter is as easy as chatting with your friends. Converse…converse… converse… Yes, you read it right! Conversation is a sure-fire way to promote your site on Twitter.

I personally hate tweets like “Hey, check out my new blog post!” I usually ignore those tweets and I prefer something that ask question first followed by a link to your site which is more appealing, right? It is by asking question that shows your interest to your followers and engages further in the conversation.

Have a relevant 140-character tweets which catches the eye of your target readers. Follow this format in tweeting your blog-promotion tweets:

<tweet><shortened link><hashtag>
