Common Misconception: Twitter…Not All It’s Cracked Up To Be?
The whole concept of Twitter has long been debated as to the purpose and need for a site that you tweet your day to day activities. It’s a “social networking stalker’s dream.” Why do people feel the need to know what you are doing every second of every day, and better yet, why do you feel the need to tell them? For this reason, many skeptics refuse to sign up.
The reality...yes, when used for personal use, tweeting can become the nonsense of sharing that “you just had your morning coffee” or “you can’t decide what to wear today.” These useless tweets can be a major turnoff when new to Twitter. The problem is many people give up and miss out on exploring the many wonderful, in-depth conversations taking place in this online community.
As a business owner and leader in your industry, you have something useful to offer your fellow tweeters. When you begin to locate others like you and follow their tweets, you may learn a thing or two, as well as be able to share your own expert advice. It’s networking in the comfort of your own home! You no longer have to wait for in-person networking events to converse with fellow industry workers on the latest trends.
Not only does Twitter supply great networking opportunities between co-industry workers, but it is a great tool for you to reach potential customers. Anyone interested in what you have to offer will be able to follow you on Twitter and have a direct conversation with you. You will be able to offer your expert opinion and gain credibility in what you do!
Twitter will never be fully understood. That’s part of the beauty of it! Don’t give up on it because you don’t see the point in it. Give it a try and I’m sure Twitter will find a place in your every day work habits.
