Social Networking in 20 Words or Less

Hello, Warriors:
Social Networking in 20 Words or Less
File this under, “Why didn’t I start doing this sooner?” Here’s a Social Networking site where you post short, frequent comments (20 words or less) to let your friends and web biz contacts know what you are doing right now.
It’s not a new Social Networking phenomenon by any means, but still, there are many home based Internet business marketers who have not yet discovered the ease and benefit of using Twitter tweets to network with others.
I was slow to get on the Twitter bandwagon, but yesterday, at the prompting of Cynthia Minnaar, one of my web biz marketing mentors, I finally checked it out and was amazed at how easy it is and how little time it takes to use this social networking service.
It takes just a few minutes to sign up and log in for the first time. Another couple of minutes and you have your user profile and homepage settings all set up. And in one more minute, you can have your first Twitter tweet posted! That’s it. You’re done. Move on to other marketing tasks.
It really is that simple. There is virtually no learning curve, like there is with some social networking sites that take an hour to set up, then who knows how long to read through tutorials and FAQs to learn how to do everything the right way.
The premise of Twitter is that you check in frequently throughout the day and simply post quick comments telling your Twitter followers what you are up to at the moment. The system allows comments of not more than 140 characters long – that’s about 20 words or less.
While there, you have a quick look at what other Twitter members who you are following are doing. You’re in. You’re out. You’re on to other things.
Many home based Internet business marketers are using Twitter to build up a bigger base of business contacts and marketing prospects.
You attract followers with short, informative or helpful posts and you follow other members and work at developing mutual business relationships with them. It is recommended to try to keep the number of members you are following around the same as those who are following you. This sort of balance shows you are an active member of the community.
To create a positive image for yourself on Twitter, be sure to personalize your homepage. Select an attractive background and upload your photo. Again, this takes less than a minute to do; it’s very easy.
(NOTE: In this same web biz blog post also posted on my StarrBizz.com site, I include information on a way to explode the number of Twitter followers you get. Read Social Networking in 20 Words or Less for more details and links.)

I have to admit I think Social Networking is a huge distraction, yet, I'll admit I am hooked on Twitter. The simplicity of the short tweets makes it very attractive.

Hi, Sherrie:
Thanks for the comment! And I agree with you on both counts. Many marketers promote the value of Social Networking but it takes so much time! Fortunately, Twitter tweets are quick and easy ... and can be fun, too!
