I have been using twitter to grow my business for quite some time, and I think that is something that a lot of Internet marketers underestimate.
Twitter has been great for me, but 4 million to 19 million, I hadn’t seen those numbers before. Amazing growth – it’ll level off, but still.
I was amazed at the quality of twitter. I would also like to say thank you to all your staff. twitter saved my business.
Haven’t used Twitter so far for business… As a matter of fact haven’t used Twitter at all… I might give it a try.
Thanks.
Twitter is such a great tool! I have been using it for about a month now…
Twitter indeed is a great place site for social marketing. I have read so much positive comment about twitter and some negatives. I think those who commented negatively about twitter were apparently just don’t know how to use twitter the right way. I guess this summit would be very beneficial to all internet marketers who wish to grow on their online business.
I use twitter to promote my website, I have had many followers this week, I have no clue why but its making my website active again.
Great Lineup for your Telesummit
I know Carrie and Deb personally
Good People

Ive been using twitter for about a month now and its very slow growing. but im in for the long term so im hoping for a steep increase over time on followers.
Gosh, Joel Comm is my idol. Unfortunately, it seen that I’ve missed the opportunity listen to all 15 interviews…
No matter what, I still glad to know about this stuff, Chris!
I’ve been a twitter addict for over 4 months ago. It’s high time I’d make something out of it and promote my business. Interesting seminar, hope they’ll be some transcripts…
There’s no doubt that Twitter in the future will have yet bigger power in terms of marketing. Even some of the most conservative organizations have implemented Twitter in their marketing strategy. But even more companies should sign up – or at least occupy their username.
Just found this today, but I’ll try to call in tomorrow and take a listen. I read an interesting article yesterday about how Google admits to Twitter, “kicking their butts” and also admitted to being open to a partnership. The article dispelled rumors that Google was buying Twitter and they stated they don’t have to buy up everyone that have mutual interests, heh.
Twitter will be one of the unavoidable things in future for promoting businesses through online!
This is actually something people should really look into.
Some twitter pages for smaller companies seem to be all over the place and super annoying – and the price seems more than fair. Twitter COULD in theory become a valuable tool for some businesses, however twitter has a retention rate of less than 40% over users first months. So – I guess the moral of the story is twitter could be a useful tool if you know how to use it and the retention rate moves up past the dismal 40%.
Interesting, but twitter still not mainstream here in France !
Twitter can be a good tool for many businesses but for many others it’s not the helpful. As Mr. Radio mentioned, the retention rate is not very good. Additionally, a large portion of the people who retain their use of Twitter are those people who are trying to use it for their business, making it largely a community for people who are trying to monetize each other.
I’ve yet to give twitter a try. After reading this article I’m excited about getting started using twitter to help promote my blog!
I own a several motorcycle related WebPages. I use Twitter every day to keep all of mu followers informed as to my motorcycle activities. Most of the 500 some odd friends I have on Twitter all ride motorcycles and none of them have ever had a problem with me talking about my sites. First off I don’t Spam them , and I always give them interesting relevant useful information about motorcycles. I don’t just try to sell, sell,sell . I have developed important relationships with all my followers and I also accept information about their websites and what they have going on. Even though I never try to promote any product or service directly on Twitter I have done quite a bit of business. It is mostly like word of mouth advertising. I mostly say something like. I went for a long motorcycle ride this week end, boy am I glad I had my new Harley Davidson saddle bags. Check-em out at… then I leave the URL. It’s not intrusive and mostly true. It’s about sharing your experiences.
There is no doubt, twitter became a great resource which has influence in our daily life. Business via twitter is not a new concept but people have there own way to do it. some find better and some find average but It has a potential for all. Not for business other areas of life can be twitt with twitter. Like you can get jobs, news, info whatever u want just twitt and get.
Twitter can be a great tool for businesses, but only if you know how to use it the right way. There’s a give and take ratio that has to be followed, otherwise you will be seen as nothing but a Twitter spammer and never gain any popularity.
I have been using Twitter successfully for blog promotion but I know I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the info as I think this would be very useful and Free is good.
I have stayed away from twitter so far, but I have been constantly been bombarded about its usefulness from various places including yours. I think it is high time I gave it a try…:)
I think Twitter is going to be short lived but there seems to be a lot of money to be made with the right Twittering strategy for now.
I never showed interest in twitter. But it seems the twitter can bring some good traffic to my site. I also will give a try.
Thanks for your very interesting and informative article!I had read a lot about twitter before but was not sure if i need it, but now I am thinking of starting to use it! From your article and comments i can see that it might add value to my blog!Keep on teaching us
Great topics…one thing I’ve noticed that is cool lately is to use bit.ly’s new link tracking metrics. You can track the links you paste in Twitter. I’m getting about a 10% CTR so far!
I have just started to use twitter and getting used to the way that it works, I have yet to see any business from it but am getting into it and going to give it a real push!
I have also been looking into audio boo, as it seems like the next natural progression.
I have a twitter account for each niche website i have created and only follow people who tweet about that niche which gives me a highly targeted market of followers.
I just started to use twitter, but still don’t see what the fuss is all about. WHo has the time to read all of these status updates?
Yes. It seems to be a great too, but l still cannot find any strategies how to make people follow you.
I have a Twitter account for my website. It is a good way to promote my business and I think it will be the one to promote online businesses in the future.
I think Twitter can be a great tool for growing your business if you do it right, but it’s not for certain right now if Twitter is just a fad or if it’ll actually stick around for a long time in a meaningful way.
In this nowdays, to earn money online is so easy. One of them is by joining twitter which i’d joined last month. And from those 15 masters hopefully i can earn as soon as possible.
Thanks f’ agreat info bro
Some of the experts conducting this seminar really know their stuff — just look at their Twitter followers. The proof is in the pudding. An important part of capitalizing on Twitter is to make sure you constantly recognize the core point of a direct-to-person channel … to communicate. It’s more than just an online billboard!
Twitter is such a great marketing tool for your business. I’ve been on there for sometime now and I see all sorts of people coming to my site because they saw something they liked I put on twitter.
Its not that I dont believe in the power of twitter in the marketing mix its just that I dont really see the appeal. It seems so one directional and lacks the interaction of something like Facebook or any blog you care to name.
Surely true interaction comes in the form of discussion, chat, banter etc and I cant help but think that maybe Twitter lacks all of that?
That said, of course I have set up a twitter account for various businesses and tell them all that it needs updating three times a day. I just feel a little bit naughty because deep down I wonder if it is a fad?
Twitter is very popular and the thing is many people do not know how to use it. If you learn the basics of it you have really build your business.
Thank,

Twitter is most certainly an interesting social marketing tool, but I also think it’s over hyped. Most business persons looking to expand their contact sheet either have over 1,000 followers or they are following over 1,000. There are simply too many tweets going on in a day to keep up, and I believe that many tweets eventually get lost in the crowd, literally speaking.
I have now 1.3k followers and still growing… i’m very patient in gathering followers in my account. now I have to bookmark this site so i can follow some of the tips
I haven’t used twitter much before, but this article has convinced me it is definitely something I need to look at.
This is really a lot of useful information. I much improved my business using Twitter and significantly increased the company profit.
I’ve been using twitter for awhile now, and it seems like just recently it’s been getting mainstream exposure. You see all the news channels and celebrities talking about twitter nowadays.
Twitter is quickly becoming a cess pool for spammers! It was only a matter of time, not to mention the news feed is way too cluttered to actually gain anything from it. Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. It is extremely helpful and beneficial to your readers
Even though Twitter has been plagued of the complete spammer, it’s still a great online tool to use to promote oneself, company, or brand image.
@ Saipan, I know what you mean. I was watching CNN yesterday and the newscaster kept referencing Twittering with regular people about the Iranian elections.
Lately I’ve been thinking about using Twitter for promoting my shop, but I wasn’t sure about the real benefits. After reading this article and the comments I’m gonna give it a try. Thanks for the tips! Cheers!
This article really opened my eyes and made me realize how effective Twitter can be.
Matty, I agree, it makes me want to get on Twitter right now.
In fact, I think I shall!
I’ve been thinking about using twitter for awhile but did not have the know how but this has truly inspired me to go and give it a go.
Dell has made some millions of dollar from its Twitter page! This clearly shows that Twitter may be used for improving businesses in future!
Nice article. I have not yet joined the twitter revolution and wondered if it could be used to promote my business in some way.
Twitter seems to have potential for sure, I haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet. Twitter itself is wondering how it can profit from itself seeing they haven’t yet posted a profit.
This reminds me, it’s time to get a twitter account ! Wish this seminar was in my city, I would attend for sure!
Oops, it looks like I’ve missed the opportunity… Hmm, maybe my lucky charm is not besides me this time! No matter what, thanks for the head up, Chris!
I think I have missed this summit. I just want to know if I can buy the MP3 and PDFs now. If I can buy them can you please provide some detials
Thanks
Do you think twitter could really be used to promote my Labrador puppy training web site? I get the impression there are probably tons of people on twitter who may be able to use the information located on my site but I guess I am at a loss on how to start the dialog with all of the souls in need
Maybe I’ll have to check out your info!
We have been involved with Twitter for a couple of months now and we continue to see all these “Pros” offer seminars workshops at no cost. How can this be? Certainly they have to make some money somewhere, right? Do they have a “Twitter Success” program that they sell and their seminar is the initial pitch or something?
Twitter is a great micro-blogging sort of tool. You can grow up your blog traffic or site traffic huge with this simple and easy to use tool, very faster. Kudoos to twitter.
I’m still not sold on twitter as something that is needed for every single business. However, I do see its uses. I have it automated to link to my blog posts which is really cool.
I use twitter for affiliate marketing program..I get lots clicks from twitter
hhmm .. i still can’t figured it out how it will works … but i think, i’ll keep watch this out and do some test on that …
great . . i like u`r site. .
f
wow 15 hours, better set aside a night or 2 for this.
Haven’t used Twitter as of the moment. Maybe soon, I might give it a try once I already know the flow in Twitter and its usefulness.
I must admit I have no Idea still on how to use Twitter. I have an account but All you can put in there are links and What Are You Doing?. I follow some people and 34 people are following me but, I don’t see how this will help my business connections.
I’m still learning how to use Twitter best to my advantage for my Etsy shop. It’s great to continue to research all of the tips that are out there though because I do believe in the potential.
We are still trying to master how to utilize Twitter. Thanks for the post!
Twitter indeed is a great place for social marketing. I’ve read so manycomments about twitter, some of them were positive and some not that good, but in general it comes to those people who do not know how to use twitter the right way. I guess this blog would be helpful for those who wish to grow on their online business.
Reading the article and above posts has certainly given me more food for thought… maybe I will reconsider my initial view of twitter. My concern though is ROI in terms of time… To tweet or not to tweet… mmm?
now many people use twitter to do business, more and more new tools which are related to twitter come up to us…..really good thing for the Internet Marketing……
I never really got going with twitter i have had it for a while but do not have that many followers ig uess maybe it will work for you if you establish a good reputation
