Let's Talk Twitter!

So what about social networking sites? The only one I frequent on a regular basis is Twitter. If you are not familiar with it, you MIGHT just need to get out more. Here is a description from the web:
Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time.
How does it work? You can sign up for a free account and post short phrases on what you are doing at the moment. You can search for interesting people to follow. Once you are following them, you will receive their updates via your Twitter feed. You in turn, will receive followers. This happens easily and will very little effort on your part.

There is a ton of material out there about this particular platform as it is extremely popular for all types of people. Let's assume that I am talking to folks that mostly want to utilize this tool for network marketing. In most of the social networking sites, the key is to sell yourself before the product. Many folks will un-follow people on Twitter if all they do is advertise their programs. The key is to learn to communicate with your followers and build a relationship. Is this easy? Well...for some it appears to be. I personally find it difficult to keep my phrases to the allowed number of letters. But then I am a wordy sort of person, thus the reason I would rather blog. I watch the dialogue going alot, but do not often post. When I do post, I find that I get a ton of clicks if there is a link within my post. So, yea. Twitter folks are responsive and curious. As I am a curious sort also, it is a good fit for me.

People use Twitter for a variety of purposes. Some networkers have an account just to keep their "list" immediately informed on new items. Others use it primarily to promote their business, their blog and their websites. Still more use it to interact with people of common interest. You can find discussions on most any topic that interests you by doing a search. It's really a marvelous way to keep in touch with the world and I heartily recommend you try it out. Just remember to talk to people, not just constantly blast them with ads.

You can follow me on Twitter if you wish. I follow some pretty entertaining people which you can find by clicking on my followers. You follow them, they follow you back. That's how it works. Pretty nifty.

I'm getting ready to do a Twitter experiment. I'll let you know how it goes.
