How to use Twitter to grow your online business

1. The Basics - tell people who you are

It never ceases to amaze me how many people still fail miserably at this first hurdle. When you are setting up your Twitter profile you can set up an avatar/photo, your name, your Twitter username and a 160 character bio. This is so when people visit your Twitter page they can instantly see who you are and what you’re all about. The first thing I do when I’m “followed” by someone on Twitter is look at their profile page to see who they are, what they do and if I think they’re worth following in return.

2. Publicise your Twitter URL whereever you can

3. Don't be vain Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that it’s cool to follow as few people as possible but still expect to have hundreds of followers yourself.

4. The juicy bits - join the conversation

5. Network

Twitter CEO on the Future of Twitter - CBS News


"One thing we try to keep in mind, is assume we don't know what will happen and therefore not get too clever about what we're doing ... things don't happen as you think they will on the Web."

He also shared the origin of the name. Williams said he and his partners were first sending their tweets via cellphones that would vibrate, which made them think of twitch ... and then twitter was right below that in the dictionary.
