The 9 Key Texting Tips Discover How To Become Successful At Texting

"Texting" or as some would call it "text messaging" has became a phenomenon. It went from a once in a while enjoyment to a day-to-day necessity. Very few people that have cell phone with texting capabilities can go through a day with out sending or receiving a text message. Some countries have adopted texting faster then others. For example; in England, a study was done on text messaging. One of the questions asked was, "have you sent a text message in the last two minutes?" A shocking 75% of the women and 25% of the men had sent a text message in the last two minutes. I think it is fair to say that texting is a large part of today's society.

So why not be successful at texting?

I've been studying and utilizing text messaging for years now, and I have applied the nine most important texting tips to become successful at text messaging.

Tip #1 - Abbreviate - Texting uses a different form of communication. Since you only have so many characters you can send (usually 160 characters), you need to abbreviate common phrases. Remember, don't over do it and use uncommon phrases, it's really annoying when you get a text message that look like this, "Hey you HRU IHA IDGI TAS LOL." On the other hand use abbreviations that both parties understand. Go to texting tips ,com for the most popular texting abbreviations; it's all free and great information about texting

Tip #2 - Use T9 (predictive text input) - If you look on your cell phone you're going to see, "abc" on #2, "def" on #3 and so on. If you were to try to type a word without the help of T9, you are going to have to go through all the irrelevant letters to get to the letters you want. Don't do that, it's a waste of time. T9 (or what ever your predictive text input is called) will take the buttons you push and give you the most common words relevant to the buttons you push. For example, take the word "CONTROL", with out T9 it would take you pushing your phone pad 18 times and with T9 it would only take you 5 times.

Tip #3 - Don't send short worthless messages - One of the more worthless text messages are messages that don't get anywhere and just waste time and rack up the phone bill for someone. For instance, here is a conversation difference between a poor texter and a good texter:

Poor Texter

Sent: "Hey" - Reply: "hey" - Sent: "what's up" - Reply: "not much" - Sent: "what are doing" - Reply: "hanging out" - Sent: "what are you doing tonight" - Reply: "not sure" - Sent: "let hangout tonight?" Reply: " OK".....

Good Texter

Sent: Hey, what's up. Lets hang out tonight." Reply: "OK"

 You can find directions, weather, games, news, count calories, keep tabs on flights / friends, transfer files, archive messages, get updates on your daily schedule and more. Most of these capabilities are also free. If you want to learn more about how to utilize texting to simplify your life go to textingadvice.com. I wrote an article about "How to utilize text messaging to simplify your life."

Tip #7 - Be aware of your phone bill and downloads - I just had a friend that paid a $214 phone bill. This was because he didn't have an unlimited texting plan. He also downloaded a few ring tones and programs. This type if bill is completely unnecessary and a lot of people fork over this kind of money because they are not aware about what's going on.

The other subject you need to be aware of is the random monthly charges that texting companies try to suck you into. These companies use myspace, facebook to get your number or they get your number from some other way and try to hook you into confirming a monthly charge for there dumb service. Don't give your number over the web to random websites and never text "Y" to any random number (that usually mean yes to charge a fee.) Rule of thumb: Don't download anything onto your phone that your computer can do, get a texting plan and make sure you don't get caught up into any unwanted monthly fee.

Tip #8 - Don't become a slave to your phone - One definition of a slave is, "a person excessively dependent upon or controlled by another person." Most of us thrive off the feeling of receiving a text

 message (it's becoming one of our most common daily feelings.) This can become very unbalance if you're not aware of it. The question I have is, what is success? Some would call it accomplishments or achievements. Really, it's basically what ever make you feel like this day was worth living. Well, there is a growing number of people that are starting to associate a five hour texting conversation to a successful and fulfilling day.

I saw a woman the other day with her friends that held the phone right in front of her face for the whole time I was around her. It was one of the more worthless lives I saw lived that day. Key point: Get real with yourself and put a little texting in your living instead of a little living in your texting.

Tip #9 - Flirt, Flirt, Flirt - Text messaging is one of the most influential devices to increasing your success in dating and creating attraction. Here's why; when you are talking or interacting with someone you have to account for the many attraction triggers that play with or against you. Those trigger are your hair, eyes, cloths, timing, words, tone, voice, energy etc. You mess up on a few of those attraction triggers and you changes with that person go down the drain. Well, texting eliminates all of that uncertainty so the only attraction triggers you have to deal with is timing and words.

 If you send the right words at the right time you can expect to double or triple your success in dating and make anyone more attracted you. I have had models and beautiful women dieing to meet me just because I sent them the right text messages. Overall, text messaging is a ton of fun and you can become extremely successful with it, if you know what you're doing.
