Unless you have been hiding in a cave for the last few months you will not have escaped the “buzz” about Twitter as the fastest growing social media site this year and probably next year also.
So what exactly can Twitter do for your business & how can you use it to build your business?
Twitter is growing at an alarming rate and the basics of using Twitter as part of your social media strategy involves “tweeting”, following people & gathering followers. “Tweets” are snippets of news, advice, quotes, quips, jokes, day to day life, useful links, amusing videos etc that each Twitter member gives to enhance the Twitter community & give value, fun or assistance.
Apart from being an excellent and fun way to interact with people on a day to day basis, which if you have a home based internet business can be a great way to “meet” like minded people, it is also one of the best ways in which you can brand yourself online.
Twitter, like any other social media should be used with courtesy to others and not be used to bombard people with marketing messages every 2 minutes. The etiquette required for Twitter is brilliantly explained by Perry Belcher (see video) who describes it as interacting with people just as you would at a party or social gathering.
Once you have got to grips with setting up your profile and “tweeting” there are some great tools to help you manage your Twitter account effectively & efficiently.
