What is Twitter and why would I EVER want to Tweet?

Sounds silly huh? Twitter, tweeting etc. But Twitter is a great tool to use to get to know people. Chris Brogan wrote an article about the best way to get new followers… Chris is an inspiration!

Followers are people who are interested in what you write about on Twitter (When you post something it’s known as “Tweeting”.) The more followers you have the more influence you can have! But be careful, there are dozens of tools that tempt you with the siren song of “get bazzillions of followers with no effort”. As you can imagine, no effort equals – Crap followers.

You want people to follow you be cause they care about you and want to hear what you have to say. This is part of the process I talk about where we get people to know you, like you and then trust you, it’s the process that takes them from Prospect to Client. And Twitter is a cool tool to do that.

Follow Chris’s advice in his latest post: http://www.chrisbrogan.com/get-more-twitter-followers-today He gives VERY sound advice

And… while your there… follow me on twitter! My handle is johnjaworski – pretty creative huh?

That’s another tip, don’t get to creative with your handle, the easier it is to get them to know you and remember you, the better it is for you growing your followers. While “sexywellhungdude” may seem like a cool handle now, it will be hard to convince people that you have anythings serious to offer!

Have fun, see ya on Twitter!

John
