Twitter and your business!

Do you want to use Twitter effectively to market your business? Here are some simple rules to follow:

1. Don't spam! only 1 or 2 out of 10 tweets should be about your business!
2. Create your online presence - your profile should show a well-rounded person, not a one-noter!
3. Include hyperlinks! Every tweet should link back to a site, whether it's a blog, a pws or an article on which you are commenting!
4. tr.im - use it to trim your long URL into something short - that way you have more characters to use in your tweet! www.tr.im.
5. Make sure your url is in your profile!
6. Cross promote your tweets to your blog! Cross promote your blog to twitter and facebook!
7. Use KEYWORDS in your tweets - www.spacky.com is a great place to figure out how to say what you wanna say!
8. hashtags - use them to categorize your tweets - that makes it easier for folks to find you in twitter! if you don't know what they are GOOGLE it! hashtag.org
9. Search.twitter.com - search for conversations to join!
10. Make the other 8 or 9 posts out of every ten interesting - post some boudreaux and thibodeaux jokes!
