Take a text message, instant messaging, and social networking, throw it all in a blender and what do you have?

Twitter!

What the heck is Twitter? Imagine this for a moment, with one message, you can talk to your prospects, communicate with your customer base, make deals with JV partners and so much more. But that’s not where the real power comes in.

Twitter gives you a 140 character window in which to post your thoughts, known as a tweet. This is a good thing because it forces you to get to the point of your message with out all the fluff.

Twitter is a social network that revolves around the idea; what are you doing right

Now? Plus it all happens in real time so you can keep up on what is going on in your market.

And the best part, you can tweet on the go! After you sign up with Twitter, you can link up your cell phone and send tweets from there.

If done right, it is a huge time saver, and it can ramp up your marketing in a big way.

It only gets better from here, and in my next post, I will give you three tools that will help you kick up your twitter experience another notch.

So stay tuned for that.

However, in the meantime, come follow me on twitter, and I will follow you.

To Your Success,
Teresa Blaes
