Step 1: After getting the hang of a few tweeting basics like signing up
What you might quickly find is the immense potential Twitter may have on an aspiring business.
Twitter is first and foremost a social networking site but when used for ways of commerce, this is when Twitter's abundant usefulness and resources truly become apparent.At the beginning you start out as a fledgling tweeter as everyone else does, but quickly realize that you have the opportunity to become somebody important! But how??? How does one find their niche? That is entirely up to you! This brings me to the reason for this post.
Twitter, if used correctly, can be a marketing tool of enormous potential that reaches thousands! The best part of all, it's free! If this is the primary reason for you joining Twitter then I have a few tools that have helped gather me more exposure (followers) much more quickly than traditional means.
And when you have followers, you have exposure! This is what I've been trying to get at! Keep in mind that others have discovered this process long before you...so tact and imagination are the order of the day.
Do NOT spam! Do NOT become intolerable to those around you! This may be the BEST resource you ever find in your quest for success, so treat it with kid gloves and look before you leap.
