So I drew up this awesome Twitter map for you all, but it wouldn’t record right… So I made a video explaining it. I’ll put the map again in this blog post, don’t make fun of my stick men. Hopefully this video helps you understand how to use Twitter to promote yourself and how Twitter works.
So that’s it folks! Tell me how you liked it in the comments, should I do more Twitter videos or am I a bore? Thanks either way Twit & soon-to-be-Twits for watching!
What is Twitter and How Does it Work: Stick Figure Map
How was that? Did you like my artistic talent, I am sure you were asking “Why isn’t she an artist? She has pursued the wrong passion in life”. You know, I work with what I’m given and if that is a below average drawing ability than darn it thats what your getting.
Anyways, one of the most important parts of Twitter is NOT to be heard. This may confuse most, but Twitter is about listening & interacting now tweeting your agenda and hoping it sinks into to others brains. So even when you tweet try to interact with others. I forget this rule all the time but when I remember it the results are always great. Even asking a simple question of your followers like “what do you think I should wear?” and attaching a Twitpic of you holding up a yellow or blue shirt will get people far more involved than “My eye itches” or “Please buy my eBook at www.iwantyourmoney.com”.
The goal of Twitter ISN’T to sell… no one makes their money on Twitter directly and anyone who tells you they do LIES. The goal is to use Twitter to network, to meet others, to form partnerships, to make friends & to get viral. After people like and trust you then they will be much more likely to click through on a few links you sprinkle out there, but not if all you do is drop links. Treat your Twitter followers like friends, you wouldn’t spam your Facebook friends would you? Then why do you think its okay to spam those on Twitter? Each relationship on Twitter is important and worth cultivating. Granted the amount of relationship and networking contacts you’ll actually make is far smaller than your followers but it is still very worth it to try… those 10, 100 or 1000 Twits who interact regularly with you are worth their weight in gold, so treat them as such

2. How do I use Twitter? Well glad ya asked… Twitter can be used for personal contact, shameless self promotion or business/branding purposes. It can also be used to update people on what you had for breakfast, why you have a hangnail or to tell the world that your tummy is sick but I wouldn’t do that. Try to use Twitter to give relevant bits on info to the Twitter world, especially the people who follow you. If your in business tweet about business, if you are into cars, tweet about cars… I’m sure you get the drift.
