Your Business, Atwitter

When it comes to online marketing, one of your greatest weapons are networking websites. There are social networking sites all over the Internet. For some business people, using social networking websites as a business tool is a bit uncomfortable. Sometimes, though, we must leave our comfort zone to be successful. Let’s talk a bit about a relatively young networking site. Twitter. You can find Twitter here. What good is a site like this? What’s the point? Here’s how it works: The question on Twitter is always “What are you doing?” The catch is that you’ve only got 140 characters to update your followers, so make it short and sweet. You can try different ways of updating. Test it out, have fun. Are you looking for new clients? Update your followers on Twitter, they may need your product or service, or might know someone else who does. Just start a big project? Let people know! Launch a new division or product? Take 30 seconds and post an update. On Twitter, you can find people who you know or seek out new ones. You can then follow their Twitter, which means you see their updates when you log in. Also, people can follow you, and they will see your updates. Want hundreds of people to know about your new website? Follow as many as you can, and get them to follow you. They’ll all be informed when you post an update about the new site. I’ll be the first to admit, at first glance, it seems insanely ridiculous. But thousands of people are on Twitter. They are potential clients and customers. Try it out, because you may have fun. Effective online marketing that’s also fun! What more can you ask for? One downside of Twitter is that it can be a bit more challenging to focus on a certain piece of the market. If you only service clients in New York state, it may take some time for you to weed out all the Twitterers who don’t reside in that area. Otherwise, I recommend you try it. It’s free, fast, and fun.
