Why I Love Twitter - For Entrepreneurs
Sep 25th, 2008 by admin
I’ve written about Twitter before and I’m going to write about it again because I’ve developed a new found respect for this micro-blogging service. If you’re an entrepreneur and you’re not ‘tweeting’, you should be. Really… Don’t be afraid to ‘tweetwork’ (aka ‘tweetilize’) with other ‘twits’ (okay, ‘tweeters’). I know it sounds completely looney, but since I first started tweeting I have made a hundred new contacts, had countless leads sent my way and kept everybody who really gives a damn up-to-date on what I’m doing. And it only takes a few minutes a day to maintain.
So here’s what you do:
• Register for an account
• Post a tweet
• Follow others
• Have others follow you
• Send messages
• Update regularly (daily if you can)
Others are using Twitter. For example: Get Twitter updates from the Utah government. Follow JetBlue, get your java fill from Starbucks or score some deals from Amazon.
Everyone is tweeting. What are you waiting for? Unsure? Check out this tutorial.
