Jeff Brown - Using Twitter For Business
Twitter is a powerful tool for Business:
- It can be used to search for information on any topic, trend, business and more
- It can be used to monitor the company brand; what people are saying about your company
- It can be used to have conversations with customers and help build a larger customer base
- It can be used for customer service
- It can be used to connect and learn from other businesses
In order to get an good ROI on Twitter, you need to be aware of the following:
- It's going to take time to build momentum on Twitter.
- You will have a schedule a small amount of time daily to see results. Start with twenty to thirty minutes a day.
- Don't make it all about you and your business. Be interesting, honest and unselfish. Sometimes the person you help ends up being an advocate for your business.
- Think of Twitter as face to face networking, but only in a digital format.
- Make sure you engage others in conversations. You will be surprised what you will learn that could help your business.
Here are some stats from June 2009 to show you how important Twitter is becoming to your business.
What to focus on is where the increases are occurring. Twitter is up 2,681%. If people are flocking to Twitter, should not your business have a presence there.
Once business realizes that Twitter is simply a place where more people are hanging out; then they need to figure out what to do with Twitter.
So don't be surprised that you do not know what to do right away. Also don't be surprised that things are not going as fast as you thought they would. Remember when you first started your business and how long it took to gain some momentum?
Get some help at the first to get started using Twitter. Be prepared to spend 20 minutes a day to start. Then have some fun with the community of people as your business grows.
Remember: "Be interesting, honest and unselfish" - quote from Kalena Jordan.
