Motivational tweeters are in the twit space giving value to their followers… but that plan can backfire if you’re not careful.

The problem motivational Tweeters face is coming off as fake, preachy, saccharin, syrupy, or just plain one-dimensional.

When you communicate that you’re a REAL person, that’s when you start making connections that create incredible impact on Twitter and beyond.

5 Tips for Motivational Tweeting

1. Make sure your Tweets are not ALL motivational quotes. First it appears as if you are not really on Twitter or you are faking it somehow. Do mix it up with real time replies.

2. Be creative and show you are personable! (a joke, a smile, or some wit) can be just as motivating as a platitude on goal setting/achieving. Be creative in how you inspire others.

3. You can’t FORCE everyone to be happy. I’ve actually witnessed “positive” people berate others for Tweeting about life’s ups and down. Instead of forcing someone into happiness, how about brightening up their day through other means? That human connection can be way more powerful than another Tony Robbins quote!

4. Recognition is motivating too! Retweet other tweets you have found to be of interest – pushing it out and pulling you back in

5. Lead by example. There are some people I see on Twitter who have such great dispositions, I can’t help but feel good reading their Tweets. They’re not one-dimensional computer bits either. Just real people appreciating the present moment that Twitter has us focused on, sharing that present moment with the rest of us.
