You've got your product or service, spent a few bucks on a snazzy website and Blog and now you're ready to hit the internet world....well you and 1 zillion others. So how do you make sure people find your website?
Driving traffic to your website is a creative process where you can use any number of strategies, and one very successful way is through social media sites like Twitter.
Twitter is essentially a service that allows you to share bite-sized messages (or "tweets") of up to 140 characters long. These short snapshots give insight into people's lives – which is part of what makes it so popular. These messages, or Tweets, are public and available to anyone interested in them. Twitter users subscribe to your messages by following your account. Followers receive every one of your messages in their timeline, a feed of all the accounts they have subscribed to.
Bloggers and internet marketers are calling Twitter a Micro-Bogging platform, and when you combine messages that are: quick to write, easy to read, public, opt-in, and accessible anywhere, you have a powerful, real-time way of communicating.
Twitter allows you to send and receive updates directly on their website or via instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email, or through a wide-variety of third-party applications.
It's a place to network, connect, and communicate. If you're an Internet marketer, you get to hang out with other marketers. If you're a muscian, you can connect with other muscians. If you're a book geek, you can meet other book geeks
What is pretty amazing about Twitter is that its a service primarily for friends, families and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick and frequent answers to the one simple question: What are you doing?
Naturally in today's world where worldwide communication is a natural daily phenomena, the answer to that question varies greatly. Where one person may tweet they are watching the sunset, from the other side of the world, a follower may tweet that they are watching the sun rise.
Aside from the huge scope for world-wide communication and interaction of people into each others moment to moment lives, Twitter is also becoming a social media marketing tool.
Companies use Twitter to get the word out about new products and companies all over the world. Some examples are Apple and Intel. Mr. Obama alone has over 8000 followers.
When used effectively Twitter can be a fantastic and essential tool for your business. Here are some key steps to making the most out of your Twitter account:
