What’s Up with Twitter?

Last week we told you about a social media site that can really help your business. Today I want to share about it.

You might be saying to yourself, “What is Twitter? It sounds like stream of conscious thinking…with no real point.” That was my initial reaction (& Steve’s too). I thought it was a complete waste of time to twitter what I was doing. Until I used it for business.

A few weeks ago we hosted a webinar about getting more customers. We had 576 visitors to our webinar page. 68 of our visitors were from twitter. That means 11% came directly from twitter. How cool is that! A new way to drive traffic and get visitors to your sites.

If you need more visitors, take a look at twitter. In fact, you can follow me on twitter and see what I”m doing. You can set up a free account and then start following others.

Here’s Steve’s link http://twitter.com/stephenbeck

When you get there, just find the follow button. You can watch our twitters to see what kinds of things we twitter about.

Steve & I are in Yanik Silver’s mastermind and he said the same thing earlier this year. “Twitter is a waste of time.” But, he changed his mind as he saw the value of using it in his business.

Before I leave, I want you to know that I DO NOT twitter only promotions. I try to balance my “tweets” with personal comments, posts to other people’s sites, responding to others and finally tweets about a promotion.

If all you do is tweet about your articles or your promotions, twitterville will get tired of you and not read what you are writing.
