Twitter is one of the most effective ways to get your marketing message to your ideal client.
What should I say? is a question we get often. Here’s some suggestions.
- Asking a questions – everyone loves to help
- Asking for referrals for a local/online business
- Share some great information or a testimonial
- Say hello to folks you’ve met at a face-to-face event – or on Facebook and Linkedin.
- Share a great blog post you’ve read (yours too)
- Retweet others – they will notice you
- Share tips in all kinds of subjects, not just your business
- Share a quote
- Mention folks you met face to face
There are as many books on the subject as there are ways to use twitter. Mashable’s free download is one of the best. From their April 2009 blog post by Sharon Feder.
