Should I Twitter
Unless you have just spent the last few months on another planet, it is almost inconceivable that will not at least have heard about Twitter or more likely tried it.
For those extremely unusual people that have absolutely no idea what Twitter is all about, it is simply a method of announcing short messages. In many respects it is similar to sending a text message except that you do so via your PC of laptop.
The other difference is that you need to build up a network for followers and those who you follow. These can be friends, groups of people with similar interests. You can then see any messages that they send, and they can see any messages that you send. Typically the messages are two lines.
To join in, you first need to register with Twitter and then it is a simple matter of getting started.
Some people Twitter about every day trivia, and some Twitter about things of interest.
Where the real power of Twitter has emerged is in the ability of a “Twitterer” to influence very large amounts of people and specific interest groups.
President Obama (or more specifically his campaign staff) used social networking highly successfully during his pre-election campaign to get his message to a very wide target audience.
It is now becoming a widely used tool for assisting internet marketers to make money online, and some go as far as to claim that at this moment in time it is the very cutting edge of generating free web traffic.
There can be no doubt that if you are running an internet based home business then you should be a member of Twitter and you should be building your list of followers as dynamically as you possibly can.
There are a few rules though. Twitter does not prohibit you from overtly and shamelessly advertising your product. The rule that I would suggest that you adopt is to never be tempted to do this. People like to use twitter for fun and interest. The last thing that they want is to be bombarded with advertising.
Try to learn to be a little more subtle. Build up a following using your own personal style, and every once in a while invite your following to take a look at your blog, and remember that those followers who do so, will of course automatically leave their name and email address when they post to your blog.
Once in a while, give something away on your website that all visitors have to submit their name and email address to receive. Then announce the giveaway to your followers on Twitter.
Hopefully, by now you can see that there is a great deal of benefit to becoming involved with Twitter and that for an internet marketer to not get involved would be rather like saying “I really do not want a list of purchase hungry potential customers”.
Twitter is the “HOT” item of the moment, so do not waste any more time. If you are not involved, get involved, and if you are involved then make sure that you are pushing the limits.
