I was asked do you have a Twitter account. Twitter what in the world is twitter. I quickly browsed it and was not initially impressed by the concepts. My first review left me with the idea that this might be just another major time waster like scanning ebay for crap I don’t need or visiting perezhilton blog to get information on which pop star was recently arrested.
I opened the account anyway as my curiosity was peaked. I don’t have the lingo down yet but I think I began to tweet or chirp or something which is what you do on Twitter. I reviewed some of other accounts and found out that people tweet on any topic that comes into their heads. It is fun to watch and let me tell you it can be very additive. That is was makes it an awesome place to find a captive audience for what ever you are marketing these days.
Here’s how I see it working. Get an account on Tweeter and start following someone you know like me of course. Click here and select follow after you open the account. You will start seeing me tweet about my daily activities like chasing kids, working on projects visiting with other tweeters. You will see how you soon become familiar with me and we eventually build a relationship. Once in awhile I may toss in a link to something I find interesting and you may naturally follow the link because you know me from my tweets. This is relationship marketing at its finest.
Now you have been following me and you will see other people I follow. You can click on their profiles and start following them as well. When you follow you naturaly start receiving followers back. it is really amazing and easy to pick up followers just by tweeting and following other tweeters.
The downside is you will run across the scourge of the earth who I think Twitter is starting to brand as spitters or spatters who just tweet links. Who cares they come with the territory and I think there is blocking in place to prevent them from gumming up your screen.
All in all I see Twitter as a major player in relationship marketing, social media marketing and provides you with a huge opportunity to promote yourself and your products almost instantly.
Be sure to grab a Twitter account and I look forward to finding you following me and guess what I may even follow you back. Follow me at http://twitter.com/charity_adams
