I love Twitter. Simple, fast and effective. A month ago, I didn’t know how powerful this social media tool could be. I have gotten to know how useful is Twitter for me as an individual as well as a professional. I found it useful to:
- Connect with people sharing the same interests. Web, Entrepreneurship, Internet Marketing, Social Media… this list never ends
Heaps of people have gone through the same kind of experience so sharing ideas and/or bouncing ideas with them make you learn faster. You rapidly belong to a community of thoughts you can contribute and learn from. - Share knowledge. Doing researches by yourself can get time consuming. By following the right people, I always get links to interesting articles, events and even good surprises (Thanks to @freitasm and @bwagy for their kind offers . The beauty of Twitter is that the more you help people and the more likely people will help you back!
- Promote PocketSmith and Financial Confessions. Tweeting about these two is obvious. However, spreading the word is way more powerful when the message is carried by other Twitter users who reach a different audience.
I still have so many things to learn about Social Media! But my instinct tells me PocketSmith already benefit from my experimentation with Twitter! If you want to learn more about this media, please read the following blog posts I have selected:
