Some good reasons to be on Twitter
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have found that Twitter is a great way to get your name out there on the internet. Below are 8 reasons why I feel that way.
- Twitter can be used as a great search engine as it can help build your presence on all the different Social Media sites that you are on.
- Because the "tweets" you post are only 140 characters, Twitter can be a great place to start out on Social Media. There is always so much going on on Twitter, there is a good chance that if you make any mistakes – which chances are you will when you start – they will most likely be missed.
- Twitter can help you market yourself and your brand. If other people find your information informative and useful, they will help spread it for you – often by "retweeting" your message to their followers. Those followers may never have any other opportunity to learn about you and your products and/or services.
- Google indexes your tweets which means that you are getting exposure on two platforms at the same time. Several weeks ago, I shared some information on Twitter about some results of a test I had just taken. The next day, the results of that test showed up on Google when I googled in
my name. - Twitter is growing extremely quickly which also helps you spread your message to more and more people.
- Twitter can be used as a good search platform because all of the conversations that are taking place are actually indexed and all searchable. This means that there is a great deal of information you can get from Twitter when you search for different topics.
- Twitter is a great tool for managing your reputation. If someone is disgruntled about you and/or your product and is complaining on Twitter, this gives you the opportunity to connect with them in real time and to help them. This gives you the opportunity to turn an unhappy customer into a raving fan.
- Twitter is a great way to find people with common interests or to find people that are good, high quality individuals for you to follow.
If you haven’t started using Twitter yet, now might a good time to add it to your library of resources. Remember, Twitter is an excellent way to get your name out on the internet.
