Twitter 101 – The Basic Building Blocks For Online Networking

The world of Social Media can be a scary and unknown place. And for those who don’t understand the purpose and actual benefits of these websites can likely be quite confused. But as Social Media Websites continue to grow and become more engaging, the added value they provide for a business also increases.

If you are relatively new at Social Media sites, or maybe just rusty at using them, then Twitter is the best place for you. Not only is it easy to use, with 50 million users (and growing), Twitter is the fastest growing Social Media Site out there today.

As with any website, your audience is out there, you just need to find them. Below are a few suggestions on how to reach your target market and begin using Social Media to your advantage.

How To Write a Tweet

Twitter Applications You’ve Got to Try

Tweetdeck.com – An application that allows you to create specific columns for your followers. This way you can separate them and filter people out so you only see what you want to see. You can also create Tiny URLs and update your Facebook Status as well.

TweetLater.com – A free service that lets you monitor keywords and receive e-mail digests when users discuss keywords that you have flagged. It’s a great way to keep an eye on trending topics while not wasting too much time on Twitter.

Twitscoop.com – Allows you to see what the trending topics are on Twitter to keep you informed on what users are currently discussing.
The most important thing to remember with Twitter (and any form of Social Media, actually) is that relationships are key. In order to get your audience to engage, you need to interact with them on a personal level.
Once you have their attention on Twitter, your online presence will definitely be known.
