I haven’t posted anything in the past few days because I have been overwhelmed with the awesome features of Twitter. Twitter is a microblogging website. The funny thing about it is that Facebook and others actually have the microblogging built into it. But Twitter is stripped down and allows you to “follow” anybody. By following someone you are more likely to get followed, get email messages and so on. In one day I was able to be followed by over 300 people. That is incredible. Try that with Facebook!! There is nothing like this on the web.
By microblogging, I mean that you are limited to 2 lines of text. In fact, alot of people find that posting URL’s can be too long and so they use the http://tinyurl.com service.
I am working on a training video for Twitter. This way you get my ideas on how to best utilize it. But in the short term here are some ways you can benefit from Twitter:
1. You get to meet alot of competitors and see what they are up to.
2. You get to meet tons of potential clients and can let them know about anything you are doing or want to publicize to them in seconds and without paying Aweber a dime.
3. You can meet tons of potential Joint Venture partners through this.
4. By tweeting you actually get better at sound bytes and doing short statements. People love soundbytes. And each tweet is an opportunity to learn better copywriting. You don’t have time to get long winded or to lose your focus. Tweets are direct and to the point.
5. Twitter is a high ranking google site and a linked post there brings in more power ranking to your website.
