OK, Now I have a Twitter Acct. Now What?

Now, that all makes sense and simple enough, however, how do your followers get notified that you have just "tweeted"? Ken Sweet

Not quite sure, but if IIRC, if someone is signed up to follow you, I think they are automatically notified. That's the point of signing up as a follower.

That is what I thought, however, I am following lots of people and businesses and I don't get notified when someone "Tweets"? Ken Sweet

Ken - try googling "twitter business strategies". You'll find more advice than you can shake a stick at. It boils down to getting people to sign up for your Tweets, then they'll get any you send out. As people sign up for your Tweets you'll become visible to their subscribers also, and those folks sign up, so on... Very similar to the LinkedIn site just a "cooler" site to the geekiest among us- plus you have that 140 characters per message, excuse me- per Tweet, limit.

Good luck

How do you go about getting followers to subscribe to your tweets? I think I am about to catch on how it works. Ken Sweet

You do a lot of begging or tweet something stupid and get in the papers. :laughing:

Part of it has to be what do you want to say to customers or potential customers? Perhaps, new products, promotionals, techical issues, etc. Basically you want people to see you as a go to source of info. I believe you can also link to your webpage - but not real sure on that.

Bribe them...

"Follow us on Twitter for free offers." Send out the occasional tweet that the first 25 customers who come in and mention the tweet get a free hat/pen/gloves or whatever promos your vendors are willing to give you.

Is the cure painful? LOL. Ken Sweet

I dont "tweet" nor do I have an account. Waste if my time is what it is. For the time I am not on there, I am logged into TBN.
