Using Twitter for Business
For those who have not had a chance to dive into Twitter, now could not have been a better time. Currently Twitter is used as a social networking tool to connect with people around the world. Twitter has grossed 15 million by May of 2009. During this month, Twitter execs Jack Dorsey and Evan Williams are switching places. Williams will be the company’s CEO and Dorsey will take over as chairman of the board.
Currently Twitter does not charge to open a account, like other social networking sites – but relies solely on revenue from advertising from external corporations. There are rumors that Twitter will be offering premium accounts for businesses that want to use it as a marketing tool.
Twitter Netiquette
1. Hear your audience
Ensure your message is being heard, by practicing a little good old fashioned PR. Listen to what your followers are seeking in you – and deliver. Take the time to follow up with leads in a professional way.
2. Update on a daily basis
Using Twitter is beneficial if you use it correctly, and regularly. Don’t tweet the mundane tasks of the day,
but tweet beneficial information and inspirational facts that benefit your readers and keep them following.
3. Take advantage of Twitter applications
ChirpCity, Tweepz, SocialOomph to name a few are used for tagging, promoting and updating business events.
Keep on Tweeting!
