Word of Mouth

Twitter has 500 million users.

Yes you read that right 5oo million. So why would anyone read your tweets? How would you stand out from a crowd of 500 million?

• Have a personality. Online conversation are just like real life conversations. Imagine an online cocktail party, everyone is drawn to people with a personality. People like to have conversations with others who seem interesting, and who are not solely focused on themselves. Take the time to not only post about your own company, but also about things that your audience might find useful or interesting but might not aid direct sales.

• Be involved in the industry. There are so many people online, you can not possibly speak with everyone. Speak within your industry. Also similar to real life. we have all heard the age-old advice of ” Surround yourself with influential people”, which is much easier on the Twitter community. Do not be afraid to speak up t industry leaders. Connect with companies you think might be beneficial for the future of your business.

That is all the quick tips I have so far. Stay tuned as I discover twitter further.
