Working at Home

twitterIs Twitter still a big mystery for you?  I hear you.  I did not get it either for awhile.  But it is a powerful force in the business world that will continue to grow in popularity for a few more years, at least, and that is why it is worth it to you to take some time to learn it.  These are just three things things that I have gained as a result of being active on Twitter:

  • I learned about Kelly’s Profitable Mommy Blogging internship program (and here I am now!)

  • I learned about an opportunity to be a guest on Erin Blaskie’s blog (here is the post I wrote).  I got 40 hits to my website the next day from her blog, and sold one product of hers as an affiliate.

  • I am hob-nobbing, chatting directly with, and learning from, my business mentors every day!  (Want to know who some of them are? Look here.)

Twitter Means Business: How microblogging can help or hurt your company by Julio Ojeda-Zapata is one of the best places to get started.  It sells for $17.95 plus shipping on Amazon.  But don’t just take my word for it!  Read a book review by Tami Metzler of The Write Associate.

  • Yay! So glad that it worked out for you!

    It's true -- Twitter really is an important part of business and an important tool for relationship building. I couldn't live without it. :)
