- Twitter is Easy! The sign up only takes a few moments, but the real beauty is in the fact that the “tweets” are only 140 characters. The service lets you get right to the point. Not like a blog post, a press release or other marketing materials that can take hours to create. Tweeting takes very little time at all to get your message across. The service can be used with your phone, the website, or text messaging, as well as tons of 3rd party applications.
- 2. Get Connected
- Twitter is a social network. This is a great way to find other business owners in your field as well as make connections with those who share an interest in a particular subject. Its a great way to find tips and tricks on marketing, social networking, design, websites, and anything else you can think of…someone is tweeting about it.
- 3. Stay in Touch
- Twitter enables you to stay in touch with your team and/or peers. Quick updates let everyone know what you are working on or what you find interesting.
- 4. Raising Awareness
