Twitter is one of many social media networking platforms and is a very useful tool if used right. First of all twitter as a social media tool is very useful, you can put advertisement on your twitter page and they are tweets as they are called, about your business or a product within your business with a link to go to for more information. It’s a tool to send out tweets also for personal use to friends and family depending on who is following you and they will then see your tweet.
To firstly use twitter you need to make an account user name and password then you can start to get following. To get that you need to follow someone and hopefully they will follow you back, if your account is as a social media for business then you would search for your type of business or niche and follow those people, then hopefully they’ll follow you back. Once you have a reasonable amount of followers you can start sending tweets out to other twitter users in your following list. You can tweet about your business and also retweet someone else’s business proposal and hoping that the other tweeter users will do likewise for you and retweet your tweets.
So as your followers get up to a reasonable amount say 1000 followers, then sending your tweets everyday should help to drive traffic to the link you have tweeted in your tweets. So as you can see this is how it becomes a social medium it brings you the traffic so hopefully then they go and have a look at the link you tweeted and you get a URL hits and then a list of clients that you are building, also hopefully some sales from those hits.
You can also setup tweeter from an automatic way as when you receive a follow you get the automatic follower to follow that person pretty well instantly. This works in that you receive a following and then you send out a message to that person automatically saying thank you for the follow and go see what I have to offer as well. All in one go you are followed and you follow back so each party gets a following. This tool is especially good as it is done even when you not online and can help to boost your following substantially. More followers means more traffic and hopefully more sales.
The differences between say facebook and twitter are significant and you could say facebook is more for friends than business that’s not to say it can’t be for business also. Twitter is really straight forward and you just write messages(tweets) as either that or advertisements in facebook you can write them as messages or advertisements with a link, the link actually shows up as a preview below your message and shows an introduction about the link you are looking at. Also in facebook there are lot of other ways to advertise, you can make a fan page and have a chat page and also a ‘I like’ part of it also a bit like a follow in twitter. So facebook is a little more detailed than Twitter but both with the same objective, traffic to a URL and a client, then sales hopefully if using them for business.
