MLM Internet Business and Twitter

By Julieanne van Zyl

Twitter is a fairly new tool that you should seriously consider using to assist your MLM Internet Business. You can build a large list of individuals following you, some of whom may become your friends, customers or join your organization as business builders. In this article, we discuss what Twitter is, and introduce you to the concepts behind using Twitter for your business.

You might be asking what Twitter is? Twitter is like to a blog, except that very short messages are written. It's also different from a blog because when you create a post on a blog, that post (if it's public) is displayed on your blog site for anyone to see. With Twitter, your short message is obtainable on a twitter page, as a "Tweet".

With Twitter it's best to have an application from which you can see the tweets of those you are following. You follow people within your area of interest, and others follow you. Anyone who searches on a word that appears in your message and your individuals following you will see the message you "tweet" on Twitter. When you follow people, you will see posts they write.

The software you download onto your computer that make Twitter more friendly, consist of a window on your computer screen, with small images of the faces of the people you are following. Next to their faces, is the message they have typed. Little symbols appear on the images when you hold your mouse over them. If you click on a symbol, you can type a reply which all your individuals following you can see. In addition, you can post a direct message to one of your individuals following you, which only that particular follower will see.

If you build a large list of individuals following you, you have more people who will see your message, and the chances of you meeting a person interested in your product or join you as a business partner higher. We advise that you have separate Twitter accounts, one should be relevant to some challenge your product can solve. For example, if you market a nutritional product for dogs, then have a twitter account that "tweets" about dogs and healthy stuff they can eat. If you have a blog about nutrition for dogs, you can send a tweet each time you make a blog post.

The other twitter account for an Network Marketing Internet Business could be about you and you could tweet about stuff you are doing, (both personal and for business) so your people following you can get to know you. Tweet whenever you blog post or article which has some educational value.

If you treat your Twitter people following you nicely and provide them with useful content, they will start to like you because over time, you will earn their trust and prove to be a very credible resource. And, if you follow them, and assist them to get what they want, without asking for anything in return (that's a very important part of having a large following), you will start building a relationship with some of your following. Many people following you will then read your blog posts, and many of those will purchase what you are selling.

To summarize, Twitter is a tool used to build thousands of individuals following you. If you provide helpful content to your individuals following you, this list will be a valuable resource for your business, both for selling products and your business opportunity. Treat your individuals following younicely and give them educational content, so they grow to trust and respect you. Once you learn to use Twitter to build relationships, you will have a lot of fun, and it will assist you to build a large MLM Internet Business.
