For those of you who haven\’t hopped on to the Twitter Band Wagon, you might just want to consider it. What was once reserved for social interaction is now turning into an arena where contacts are being made, business deals are in the works, and people are learning more about different industries, topics and occupations than ever before.
So, what are the benefits to Twitter and Tweeting on a regular basis?
- Marketing: A great way to create ‘BUZZ’ about products and services!
- 140 Characters: Some may dislike being capped at just 140 characters. Personally, I love it! I know I have the full attention of the reader to get my message across and not lose my reader mid-post
- Indicators: Take a look at how many and who are following you. The more followers you have indicates how interested people are in your business, your products, and what you can offer
- Relationships: Networking and lead building – the potential is endless if done correctly
How do you get followers and make an impact? It\’s all in the content! Here are some key items to keep in mind when posting a Tweet on Twitter:
- Create Tweets with usable content
- Write for the benefit your readers
- Avoid constantly selling yourself – Don’t earn a SPAM reputation
- Offer sound tips
- Promote others and give endorsements
- Fill out your Twitter profile completely – make sure to include your website & blog
So, give Twitter a try!
