Did you know that you could use Twitter to be found in the search engines? That’s correct. Twitter is for more than just talking to your friends about what you are eating for dinner. Simply by answering the seemingly pointless question of “Whatcha doin’?”, you can help your website be found on the search engines.
However, there’s real value under the surface of Twitter. There are people sharing important information and ideas. There are experts offering guidance. There are potential customers talking about what they really want to see in products.
Twitter is an extraordinarily powerful tool for doing just that but just like any tool that is powerful, there is always a chance you can use it wrong and it will do more damage than good.
If you’re not using Twitter to create a “shortcut list” that can drive traffic to your offers, you’re missing a great opportunity. This is one of the easiest ways to get started with permission marketing in the history of the Internet and many marketers are already making money by talking to their followers instead of just sending those emails to their list.
Twitter is a website that offers something called micro-blogging. Micro-blogging (yeah, another word to learn) like blogging, it allows people to text little updates and put them immediately online, so that anyone can see them or by only people in special social groups.
First of all what does authenticity mean anyway? People keep throwing this word around without giving an explanation of what they mean. Here’s my definition of authenticity. Basically in a nutshell, it means that you should be yourself. In other words, the people that you network with online should be comfortable with you when they meet you in person because you act the same way online as you do in real life.
The Twitter background: To snaz or not to snaz that is the question. I really have no definitive answer to that question. But it seems that if you are trying to make a name for yourself anything will help and it can’t hurt to pimp out your Twitter background to see if you can’t stand out from the rest maybe even create a little controversy.
If you’re just getting started with Twitter, it can be tough to develop a sense of the best way to use your newfound Tweeting power. There is a dominance Twitter culture and a “way of doing things”. Getting into the flow and learning the rhythm of the site isn’t always easy.
