Twitter for Business: How to Take Advantage of the Social Networking Boost
By admin | April 29, 2009
Maybe you’ve heard of Twitter. Chances are that you either don’t think it’ll be useful for your business or you don’t really know where to get started. Read on to find out more.
Question 1: Can it help your business?
Answer: Yes! But you have to approach it the correct way.
Question 2: What is the correct way?
Answer: You focus on building a following — and a relationship with your followers. That will eventually earn you the right to sell too. But if you try to sell right away, people will just unfollow you and the whole thing won’t work.
Question 3: Will it take a whole lot of time?
Answer: There are ways to spend just minutes a day and get good results. Especially if you outsource the labor-intensive stuff.
Question 4: Where can I learn more?
Answer: You can sign up for my Twitter teleseminar (coming shortly) or hire me for a Twitter coaching session. Or you can check out one or both of the following resources: Twitter Decoded and Twitter Traffic Machine.
Both of them are terrific. They both provide you with great information on how to get tons of hands-off traffic though, so you should definitely get one of them if you want to make Twitter really bring you lots of customers without having to do a lot of the hard work yourself.
So please give Twitter a whirl. The biggest mistake you could make is to not take advantage of it. And when you do get involved with it, please be sure to leave your hard sales tactics at home, and instead, get ready to have some fun.
Bonus tip: When Twitter asks “What are you doing?” it doesn’t really want to know the daily minutiae of your life, even if a few misguided tweeps still do answer that question literally. Instead, talk about things your potential clients might find interesting. Tidbits of useful info. Links to great resources. And yes, fun stuff too. Plus the occasional special offer 
Stay tuned for my Twitter teleseminar in the very near future.
To Your Success,
Elisabeth
