Twitter For Business

Twitter is a great part of the marketing system for business

Too many people don’t understand how to use Twitter for business, but that hasn’t stopped them from blogging about it. Most of them just want to play or know they are on the internet, but when it comes to business, there are some specific steps you should take to take you from the rat race and get you zooming with success.

Twitter, the micro-blog that lets you send 140 characters across the Internet and around the world to anyone who has followed you (and then be resent (ReTweeted) by others), is a highly-targeted tool for marketers (and not just online marketers) – and it works well with other social media marketing tools like Facebook, bookmarking, and blogging.

For those of us old enough to remember party-line telephones, it’s like listening in on the conversations of your neighbors and then adding to their chat only when you have something that applies to them. No need to send messages about photography to people interested in politics or television. So in THIS way, Twitter lets you laser-target your messages and get those who are interested in what you have to say to respond.

For me (and I admit there are other ways to approach this though this is the best I have seen), I have 10 Twitter accounts, each based around specific keywords. For some of my accounts I’m building a list of followers who are interested in businesses I already have operating - I'm building the list to sell get them interested in my websites and the products I have. For others, I’m building lists around topics that interest me and will figure out later how I will monetize them.

After all, having a LIST of interested prospects is the most important part of marketing and running our businesses. That's forgotten by many people, but it is.

So, with that as prologue, my top 37 steps that you should take immediately to use Twitter for your business are detailed on my blog. Twitter: Read My Blog Here!
