That's the catchphrase of the Social Networking site, Twitter. All you do is answer the question, "What are you doing?" in 140 characters or less, several times a day.© GT Bulmer
Web Biz Opportunities - StarrBizz.comI know that I've barely scratched the surface of
Twitter knowledge. But there are a few things that I do try to do when on the Twitter site.
Twitter is as much a social entertainment site as it is a social business networking site - it all depends on who you choose to follow and who chooses to follow you.
Keeping that in mind, I try to tweet several times throughout the day to catch various other members on
their schedules and I try to mix it up between business and personal social networking.
In other words, I post
web biz tips and recommendations; I post inspirational quotes, both business and personal; and I post just plain old news or entertainment notes that may not be related in any way to business or marketing.
If you are a
home based Internet business marketer like me, you don't HAVE to mix it up. You can focus only on business and marketing - nothing wrong with that. But if you DO mix it up, you stand a greater chance of expanding your base of followers, keeping them interested and entertained and priming them to become prospects and customers ... or maybe even joint venture (JV) partners.
Follow the FamousI've discovered that there are NUMEROUS well know and famous members on Twitter. For example, I am following
Anthony Robbins! (But I doubt Tony is following me! LOL)

Ellen DeGeneres of
The Ellen Show.

Ellen's Twitter MonologueI follow well-known people for TWO REASONS:
1) For my personal interest, enlightenment or entertainment;
2) So I can do some NAME DROPPING in my Twitter tweets!
Here's what I mean, and to be truthful, I don't just do this for the famous, I do it for ALL Twitter members who I follow.
In addition to posting comments about
my own web biz interests and activities, I also read other tweets, then respond to several of them throughout the day. Sometimes this initiates some mutual tweets back and forth between me and other members. Sometimes it just helps to highlight valuable information they have posted.
One benefit of doing this is it shows you to be an active member of the Twitter community. Other members will more likely want to follow you, or keep following you, if they see you are active, contributing and highlighting others from time-to-time, not just blowing your own horn.
Twitter has become a great site for personal social networking. Whether or not it develops as a good business networking site remains to be seen. For now, it is so incredibly popular, you simply must join and get involved, even if it's just a few tweets a day.
So, when you answer the question on
Twitter - "What are you doing?" - what will
YOU say in 140 characters or less? I tweet about my
home based web biz ... and a whole lot of other things, too!
Sincerely, GT Bulmer
