Is Twitter Potentially the Biggest
Time Waster Ever? Or Could Your Business
Really Benefit From Using Twitter?
The answer is Yes and No.
It depends entirely on how you use Twitter. It can easily be a huge time waster. It’s potentially more addictive than Facebook, so you really do need to have a sound business strategy and proven usage guidelines if you want to be effective and minimise the time you or your staff members spend “twittering”. Using Twitter for Business can be lucrative.
From the desk of
Annette Welsford, MBA
Hi Fellow Business Owners and Marketers Are you confused or skeptical about using Twitter in your business? I was too. I really thought it was just another addictive time wasting gimmick like Myspace. I couldn't see the benefit of it. |
However as I teach marketing and provide a range of offline and online marketing services to my clients, I thought I better look in to it as my students and clients were asking me for help with Twitter. So I had my team open a couple of Twitter accounts, undertake some research into strategies and tools, and try a few things. . . At first it was very time consuming, but as we learned and experimented we found that it actually started to work!
We built several Twitter accounts and had over 1000 followers in each within a matter of days. Using a combination of tactics we were driving more people to our websites than ever before and selling a lot more products!
We were building relationships with brand new people, learning a lot about our target markets and finding a bunch of new opportunities. We came to realise that Twitter can be a very useful tool, as long as you don't become a slave to it, and use it strategically.
We've done the research, made the mistakes, and ended up with what I think is a pretty good Blueprint for Using Twitter in Business.
How We Make Sure You Don’t Waste Your Time on Twitter
With Twitter, I can [release] new features and ideas to Mahalo's 'superfans' ahead of time and get their input. Many of the bloggers and press watch my twitter stream as well, so if I want to leak something to the press, I can do it by just saying 'what do you think about this...?' and if it's notable, it will be on 10 blogs in a day. So, for me it's part focus group, part press release system, and a lot of fun to interact with users and fans."

Can You Afford to Wait?
I suggest not.
Here's 3 powerful reasons why you need to be using Twitter in your marketing mix NOW.
- Get Your Twitter Name Before It's Gone
Every day Twitter names are being snapped up.
Once your company name or personal name has gone, it's gone.
You'll need to use something else, which may not be the best choice if you're building your Brand. If people are already tweeting about your brand, you want to have a Twitter name which is identical or very close.
-
Twitter Usage Is Rapidly Growing Worldwide
Twitter usage is growing at a rate of 8 million users per month. Over 90% of users have 100 or fewer followers. This presents a great opportunity, because it means that if you set up your account properly and build your followers using our guidelines, you'll be doing better than 90% of other users - and probably your competitors. Hitwise reports that the UK, USA, and Australia show a dramatic increase in Twitter usage and visits.
-
Twitter Posts Drive Traffic to Your Site
Twitter business users have begun to employ Twitter as a pointing device as well as a communications channel: sharing links to articles, discussions, posts, videos — anything that lives behind a URL. Websites that once saw their traffic dominated by Google search queries are seeing a growing number of new visitors coming from "passed links" at social networks like Twitter and Facebook. I use Google Analytics to track the number of visitors who've come to my site from Twitter posts and retweets.
