Do you tweet or twitter? If the answer is no then it is time to get your head out of the sand and tweet until your heart is content. Social Marketing is making a huge impact on businesses, heck it is making a huge impact on the world in general!http://twitter.com and look around. Everybody is networking with everybody about the next great book, the best way to blog, the next great trainer, self motivation techniques, travel deals, what they had for dinner, or just what kind of day they had.
Ok, so you may be asking “just what do these mega social sites mean to you and your career in networking.” All I need to say to that is to just log into
I tweet on twitter everyday and am proud to have that cute little bird on my computer. I have met some remarkable people on twitter and I am creating a great list of followers and isn’t that what we all want? It wasn’t always this way though. When I first signed up on twitter I didn’t have a clue what to do. Luckily a few months ago I began to train with a leader who taught me the right way to use this magnificent tool and I will share that with you.
OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH TWITTER
When you do sign up please remember the importance of branding yourself. There are rules to go by and please be sure to read those rules and abide by them. Please remember, you don’t just pitch, pitch, pitch. As a matter of fact, after several months of being a faithful tweeter, I still do not talk about the MLM that is a part of my life. That comes later after I build relationships and show just what kind of leader I am. Here is a few pointers on what to do and what not to do:
The first thing you will want to do is go to http://twitter.com and sign up.
* Follow people that are in your niche market- especially those that are new to it and are looking for a leader.
* When an someone follows you be nice and follow back- this is a really fast way to start Increasing your followers-shows you’re serious.
* When you follow someone ALWAYS leave a message- chances are they will message you back.
* Got something of value to offer…then please share it- that is what it is all about, helping others help themselves.( You Will Shine).
* Remember, you only have 140 characters to work with, so be precise and to the point.
* When you get a direct message then direct back to it- this is a fast way to get your link noticed by leaders that you may have missed.
* Once again, please do not pitch your business to everyone all the time…THIS IS SPAM.
THE WORLD OF TWITTER
The world of twitter is huge and there are so many pointers to share that I could write a book (Not a bad idea for a free give-a-way), but for the sake of this blog I just wanted to give you a boost in the right direction.
Twitter and many of its followers have developed tools to help us keep up with our followers and what is going on in twitter world. I will do a follow-up to this blog after I research the tools of twitter and then give you the ups and downs of each. So until next time I want to see you all tweeting on TWITTER!
