What's It All About?

Are you confused about the Social Media Era? Are you a Baby Boomer trying to build an online business using techniques that are outdated or a person just learning the value of Social Media?

When I signed up last year, I really didn’t understand the power of Twitter. So one of my goals on my May Makeover project is to revisit my Twitter account and actually learn the proper steps to marketing. Now, as I go through my account and revisit it a few months later, I have a better understanding of it’s power and will now share with you the steps I am taking to Tweet effectively.

Throughout the next few days I will be editing, deleting and changing the settings. I will also go through the Search options to perform a search on my niche to find people in my industry. I will be adding tutorials and how to tips as I go through my Twitter account.

If you have a Twitter account, or have been thinking about signing up, here are a few tips to get you started.

1. Sign up or log in at Twitter

2. Think of a name for your account. If you are starting a business, I recommend using your real name. This will help others find you. If you are married and want your friends to find you, I suggest using your maiden name also.

3. Write your bio. If you are using Twitter for personal use, you can add some fun info. If you are using Twitter for your business, I suggest you stand out from the crowd by creating fun tips and suggestions to bring people to your blog or landing page. (Remember that you only get 160 characters)

4. Upload your theme. If you have a business that you are promoting on Twitter, why not create a banner or theme that fits your companies brand? There are many sites out there that offer FREE backgrounds, it just depends on your needs.

Here is a FREE THEME SITE that I used.

This will help you get started. On Day 8 & 9 I will be taking some time to reflect on the upcoming Mother’s Day Weekend. So follow me on Day 10 to learn my next step.
