Do you use Social Media in your Business?

Social media is one of the most important things you can do for your business. Social media is basically networking online and it’s crucial if you own a business online. It’s the best way to find potential customers online.

There are many sites you can use when it comes to social media, but the best are Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. Each has it’s own advantages to help you grow your business.

One of my favorites is Twitter. Twitter is like instant messaging. You can add as many followers as you want and people will follow you as well. The thing you need to understand about the followers is you can see almost all the posts that your followers post, but unless they are following you, they won’t know if you’ve posted a message to them. Now there is one way you can see those posts and that’s if they click on the button that says replies. This area of Twitter is for posts that people have made to you. That’s it; nothing else is visible in this section.

One disadvantage to Twitter is that you are limited to 140 characters. Characters are different than words. A character is a punctuation mark, a space, and each letter you type. This can cause a problem when you have a lot to say. So, my solution is TwitWall. TwitWall is a blog that is directly linked to your Twitter page. Each and every Twitter user has a TwitWall.

The great thing about TwitWall is you can include formatted text, you can upload videos from YouTube and other sources, and you can include pictures. Because it’s a blog you have unlimited text space, so you can say what you want and not worry about abbreviating or making multiple posts that might get separated.

We have all been told that a blog is a must in business. It’s not a bad idea to have one, but some people don’t know how to set one up, build traffic, and make it look and work the way they want. Some just have no desire at all to have a blog, but they want the ability to use Twitter in a way that doesn’t limit the number of characters they use. This is where TwitWall comes in. There is no set up required. You login to TwitWall.com using your Twitter username and password and you are ready to start posting.

TwitWall looks just like your Twitter page in that your background follows you. What don’t come across are your posts made to others and your posts made on Twitter. So if you used Twitter or another program like Twitdeck to make a post it wouldn’t be visible on your TwitWall. The only thing you see is the posts you make from that page.

There are so many reasons why a person would want to use TwitWall rather than their regular Twitter page. One huge advantage I see is that you are not limited on the number of characters you use so you don’t have to worry about abbreviating words and you don’t have to worry about someone missing part of your post and questioning what you are talking about.

Check out TwitWall today. I think you will be thankful you did when you realize the potential that comes with it and what you were missing before.
