Creative Ways to Use Twitter for Business

Funny as it is, the idea from this blog was spawned by a question asked to me by my mother. She is a real-estate agent in Los Angeles, and asked me if she should use Twitter to help grow her business. Without hesitation I said, “Of Course!” There are many ways that business owners and those who are self-employed can use the power of Twitter to their advantage. Twitter provides us with a near limitless platform to reach people in real time; it is really unlike anything out there. From real estate agents, food vendors, book stores, to any business that provides products or services; Twitter can grant you access to a large number of potential customers who already have the intent to spend.

How to Use #Trending Topics for Marketing

Twitter’s trending topics are the top ten keywords that are being tweeted at that time. Recently MJ has been a leading trending topic. The trending topics range from anything that has been in current events such as #iranelections, to #hashtag keywords that people create to start a twitter-wide conversation with topics such as #truth or #lies. Not all trending topics are #hastags, for example, the few non #hashtag trending topics right now are Chuck Norris, Michael Jackson, Harry Potter, Pirates, Sotomayor, and Bruno. Side Note: Hashtags are tags preceded by the “#” symbol and are generally used by Tweeps who wish to follow what is being said about a particular subject whether or not you are actually following the Tweeps.

Viral Marketing – Where the Underdog Has a Chance

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about how a certain NBA player was using viral marketing in the form of YouTube videos and a website to get fans to vote for him to be able to compete in the NBA Dunk Contest. The voting took place between three NBA rookies; the winner of this contest gets to be the fourth contestant in the Dunk Contest that will be held in February. I made a prediction that the player who ran a successful viral marketing campaign would win, regardless of playing time, stats, or even dunks seen on television. The voting ended on January 14th. I never cease to amaze myself.

f you are looking to redesign your site, launch a new site or promote an existing site, DO NOT ask for a bunch of price quotes. Price quotes are just numbers and the folks that you are speaking with on the phone are just voices on the other end of the line.
