Twitter is amazing it great for meeting new people, making new friends, promoting new products or offers as well as driving traffic to the website.

I recommend tweeting to all my clients as an additional marketing tool.

To take the maximum advantage of Twitter, select the people to target and then accordingly make use of it. As it is very popular so it will generate enourmous traffic if used properly.

Twitter is very personal and you use it to make friends. In my small town all the Tweeters now meet up and a lot of business gets passed around between Tweeters (who wouldn't otherwise know each other).

What you mustn't do it is just to tweet about your business. Make friends and acquaintances first based on something you have in common - whether geographical, someone who is in the same line of work, someone who shares the same interests - and then subtley mention your business.

I built up hundreds of followers who were my target market and then when I introduced a new product that they were sure to like, let them know about it. My followers were my first customers and then promoted my product virally by talking about it and posting pictures. All very valuable free marketing with no effort.
