Sunshine Coast Web Design and Marketing

The Christmas memory of a lifetime, check out this great deal that Cate Bolt has put together over at Project 18 only $90 per adult and $15 per child (The little darlings would cost you more than that at Macca’s)

So that is exactly what I am going to do today thanks to my Dad’s advice and Michael’s challenge. Below are the people that I interact with on Twitter and Facebook, people that have been a huge support to me and that I can always rely on for advice and encouragement.

I mean do they really think that sort of approach is going to work? Or are they just trying to short cut their way to success, and they think social media is the answer to all of their problems. The good news is though, that they soon give up and move on to something else

Today I am going to discuss with you exactly how you can use Twitter for your business. What we are going to do is look at some strategies that you can easily implement so that you get your followers actually promoting you.

As a business owner you know the extreme importance of word of mouth advertising. If you have read any of my previous posts about Twitter, you would already know that it is word of mouth advertising on steroids.

But Twitter is a two edge sword. If someone is unhappy with you or your business, and they are voicing those concerns via Twitter. Then that is going to spread like wild fire as well.

This is when the power of Twitter really kicks in to gear as this type of situation is a huge opportunity turn things around and turn them into both a happy customer and a raving fan all at the same time.

If you use Twitter correctly, you are able to reach far more people more effectively than any other form of advertising that I know of.

But and this is a big but!!!!

You have to use Twitter the correct way. It is far more credible for you if someone else is singing your praises, not to mention time efficient!!!

So how do we do it? How do we get people to start talking about our business about promoting us?
Well you are probable not going to believe this, but you already know the answer because your Mum told you what it was when you were a child!!!

Remember what good old Mum taught as kids? Surely you remember what she used to say about treating others as you would like to be treated yourself? This is so simple it is ridiculous yet I would estimate that it is something 98% of Tweeps overlook .

If you want others to promote your business then you need to do two things…

• Promote them first! Remember treat others as we want to be treated.

• Tweet information of value.

That’s it!! As I repeat over and over and over, Twitter is about three things.

• Engage
• Interact
• Add Value

So that is it for today, follow this simple strategy and start watching the results.

If you would like to thank your Mum for teaching you such a valuable lesson, please mention her in the comments section below.
