Everyone should have a Twitter account and use it
effectively, whether you want to get help with your
business, grow your network or get more visitors to your
website.
Twitter is a free social mini blogging site, and is proving
very useful, with more than seven thousand new users signing
up every day.
With Twitter you can look for people who have similar
interests to yourself to follow, and most of the time they
will follow you back. You can even follow your favorite
celebrities or sporting hero's. If you aspire to be
successful, why not find some successful people to follow,
and see what they do each day.
With Twitter you can grow your network very quickly, byfinding others to follow, and their friends in turn will endup following you. Don't turn Twitter into a place to pitchyour sales talk. The best way to think of Twitter is likeyou are going to a party and meeting other like mindedpeople. If you open your mouth and try and sell themsomething, they will quickly back away from you. First getto know them and ask them what they do. They willeventually want to find out what you do too.When you post entries onto your Twitter account, make them agood mixture of entertaining and helpful comments,interesting tidbits and every now and then you can recommendone of your products.When you tweet on Twitter, make it to the point, as you onlyhave a hundred and forty characters to say what you need to
say. Make your tweets interesting and helpful, and you will
build up and keep your followers a lot longer.
Another great way to use Twitter is to reply to other
people's tweets. You can do this by putting a @ in front of
the user name, or simply clicking on the arrow at the end of
the tweet that you want to reply to. Twitter allows you to
send somebody a direct message, and this makes it easier to
build up your relationships. If you make your tweets
interesting, the chances are that others will retweet your
messages and get you greater exposure.
Twitter is a wonderful platform to connect with new people.
Use your Twitter connections to exchange new ideas or even
enter into joint ventures or partnerships. You can
encourage each other and help each other along the way. By
using the leverage of the internet and Twitter, anything is
possible.
