Are you on Twitter?

If not, I really think you should be.

Why?

Because Twitter is exactly the kind of social networking environment you should be in. If nothing else, the opportunity to practice limiting your thoughts to a mere 140 characters is something truly defining. It teaches you to be succinct and engaging while making your point using nothing longer than a simple sentence.

Being an active member on Twitter will also give you the opportunity to meet two types of people:

• People who are in the same field, or related fields, as you are.
• People who are interested in the products and services you offer.

Now, there’s skill involved in building a good following on Twitter. You have to be active and engaging. You can’t just throw out a bunch of advertisements or links to your website and expect people to care. You need to show interest in what they’re doing, or somehow show them that you really want to offer them something of value.

I could go on and on about how and when to use Twitter, but instead I’ll leave you today with a challenge. If you are NOT already on Twitter, go check it out and sign up. Take a look at the system and think about how you could possibly use it to network or build your own prospect list.

Oh! And make sure you follow me on Twitter as well if you’re not doing so already! Once you have a few days to look at Twitter we’ll talk about some of the best ways to really utilize it in your marketing campaign!
