You know that feeling you get when you can't think of a single thing to twitter about? The fear that hits you in the pit of your stomach when that blank 140 character box appears on your screen? You, my friend, are experiencing the dreaded Twitter's block and it can strike at any time. It's a lot like writer's block and left unchecked it could lead to a prolonged absence of tweets and twitter joy.

But never fear, there is a cure. And it won't hurt, I promise. Here's my 7 quick tips to help you prime the pump and get your tweets flowing freely again.

1. Ask a question. Think about anything in your business, job or life that's annoying you or that you'd like some help with and post a short question about it.
2. Answer a question. Give back by sharing your knowledge and experience with the Twitterverse.
3. Share an inspiring quote that is insightful or intriguing.
4. Retweet something you found helpful or interesting.
5. Share your love of something techie, such as your iPhone, Wii, Mac etc.
6. Share a link to a blog post or other web resource that you found helpful.
7. Join in the conversation. Find an interesting conversation and dive it.

See that wasn't too painful, was it? Just keep this short list handy and you'll never experience Twitter's block again!

Happy Tweeting!

Great ideas for using twitter. I find that it has helped me be more Concise & Direct in how I share my Thoughts. Asking a question is great if you have followers that are engaged with you. A great way to start that engagement process is to Retweet others when you find their content inspirational or of substance and you think your followers may feel the same. The person you just retweeted will be very appreciative, at least they should be, since other people will most likely be engaged with them also.

Thanks for taking the fear out of tweeting for others. I believe the best way is to just Jump in. ;) The more you tweet, the better you get!! Again Thank You!! xo

Hi Linda,

Good ideas all! The one I use the most when stuck for something to tweet about is a relevant inspirational or motivational quote. Now I have more ideas on what to tweet about. Thanks!

All the best,
