Twitter
is a social media phenomenon that has been around since 2006. Twitter.com
describes the service as a way for “friends, family, and co–workers
to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent
answers to one simple question: “What are you doing?”
As with any kind of business marketing,
or communication, you need to decide what you want to achieve through it and
how you intend to do this. Are you going to utilise Twitter to build your
profile in a specific niche? Are you wanting to drive traffic to your website
or blog? Do you want to communicate in a more informal way with your network?
A branding exercise? Promoting your skill as a writer or perhaps
the launch of your novel? All of these are perfectly valid reasons
to get yourself a Twitter account and to start tweeting. Just remember that
Twitter is still social networking – and as such is about two-way communication.
If you don’t participate in a meaningful way, you will not gain or retain
many followers.
