I have not used it yet – email still works for me – but then I am a syadmin and not into 10 different ways to contact me. email, phone works for now. Also given all the distractions and fingers reaching out for my money via “offers”, I notice the less media I consume, the less I spend.. If I need something, then will go looking for it versus an offer and I spend perhaps a bit less on something that’s nice but not needed…

I recently started using Twitter and it’s interesting to read this post from 18 months ago. I only wish I had started using it that long ago because I see the marketing power it has.

We resisted the call to tweet for a long time too, Ann.
Now that we’re linked in, facebooked and connecting online, it’s a natural to grow the conversation.
And it’s instant.

Great post Ann! Twitter is a fantastic resource for bloggers, just like you. There are methods you can use to minimize the amount of effort it takes to get up & rolling with Twitter too!
Your article showed some great “mini case studies” on how Twitter can work for anyone, no matter what sort of internet business model you might be employing.
One approach I highly suggest is to get involved & interactive with the Twitter community, not to just go in guns-a-blazing spamming your links everywhere.
If you have the attitude that “I’m here to mingle & getting traffic is just a pleasant surprise” while at the same time toss in a few of the tips I’m about to drop to you, you’ll definitely see results.
#1.) Go grab a free account at http://www.twitterfeed.com and get it all setup to work with your blog. You can use this free service to AUTOMATICALLY post the title of every new blog post you make to your twitter profile, along with a link back to that blog post. It’s tremendously valuable.
#2.) Go grab a free account at http://www.tweetlater.com and setup an “auto-welcome direct message” by following the instructions. In that message say something like “Thanks for following me on Twitter. I appreciate the follow & you’re welcome to come check out my blog at http://www.ProFromGo.com/blog”
#3.) Post when you feel like it and just go on there to have fun, because you’ve already implemented two awesome tools that are going to take care of AUTOMATICALLY getting you traffic. By just going on there and exchanging thoughts & ideas with other users you’ll quickly attract new followers.
The steps described here will, without a doubt, bring you back traffic.
The best part is how easy it is to set it up.
Check out my main site at http://www.twitterhints.com for more similar info, a free report called “The Twitter Report” that’s all about ETHICAL twitter marketing, and a few easy to follow step by step videos that can show you how to get started right away.
There’s a lot of black hat crap out there already regarding Twitter & to be up front & frank, that’s just not what we’re about. We enjoy, respect, and LIKE using Twitter so you won’t find any tips that promote a spammy approach to using twitter.
Feel free to drop me a line or ask questions if you have any. I’m also available to make a guest post or two if you like. I’m always happy to meet new people & make new connections.
Thanks for the great post on Twitter, I really enjoyed it.
I would appreciate hearing back from you too…
Twitter is a very young company and it’s going to be interesting to see if it will overcome it’s growing pains & blossom into a well monetized & sustainable business.
The traffic is there, the challenge they face now if figuring out how to monetize it without ruining it… but judging by the ingenuity they’ve shown thus far, I think the future is promising for Twitter, and getting on board now will be a good move, because this ship is about to set sail.
Sincerely,
Chris Vendilli

I avoided web 2.0 for a long time, but now that I’m involved, the connections with new people has made it worthwhile.
