Hi there,
I've joined twitter and I've been tweeting for a little bit now, but I feel as thought I'm missing the value of it.

Can anyone explain the value of Twitter and how best to use it?

Thanks!

Teresa,

I use twitter to send people to my Facebook page where they can get to know me. It can be a valuable tool if the people who follow you really are interested in what you do or into. This is achieved by building a relationship with them.

Twitter doesn't work for most people because they forgot (or never had a clue about it) what attraction marketing is all about. They try to stuff their deal in front of everyone's face and of course, nobody listens.

Try building the brand "YOU". Put out information that is helpful or fun for people. Send them links and videos that show your interest in being a good guest at the party and leave your "demo kit" in the car.

Keep that up long enough and people will begin to take you seriously... try to find out more about you. If you've built some credibility, then the business you're in or the product/service you're offering comes as a warm referral instead of junk mail.

Perry Belcher is one of the best there is about using social media effectively. You can find his blog is at:

Anyway, in short? Twitter is great but there are lots of "twits" using it.

I see Twitter as both useful and annoying at the same time. A lot of you correct that Twitter used to be a much better place to converse with people. However with all the automated programs, its very easy to have the entire thing running with no people actually posting in real time. However everyone is on there, so you should be there too. You can't place a value on the amount of people who will receive your message. I have a lot of hits that come from Twitter.

I do like the fact that Twitter is the center of the social media circle though. You can link up Twitter to pretty much every social site, which is a huge time saver. Link up to Facebook, You Tube, your blog, and each time you update there, it's posted on Twitter...just more coverage for a single action. A great way to leverage your time, and that's a plus!
