So i just joined twitter because i heard that was a good marketing option. I'm alittle unsure of how you actually market through it. I did just join so i havent had time to browse through and see what it is all about but i figured some peeps on here would have used it and just wondering if they can give me a boost to get started on it.
Thanks moyke

You know - I have twittered in the past and have not looked at it recently, but was thinking about looking at it again and see what all the twittering is about...
Am thinking someone who is a twitterer will stop by soon... hang tight.

I have mainly other marketers following me on Twitter.
It just gets your name out there, and when you update web pages, you can post your link and your followers will see it.
I have made additional sales using Twitter.
Also, I have checked out posts of Gurus  I am following, and have picked up some great IM tips.
When you get to the point of following many people, which may be as a courtesy to them for following you, you can select your favorites and add them to Friend Feed or iGoogle, so you only have to read those particular updates, rather than sift through Tweets for everyone else every day.
And your profile is yet another place to earn a back link to your site.

I recently joined Twitter as well and Victoria seems to have hit it right on the head. In a couple weeks I've made a sale and have networked with several interested prospects. Like Victoria said, there are a lot of top notch Internet Marketers on Twitter whose updates can be very useful to you as a follower.

Mike-
I guess it all depends on the product you are marketing. When it comes to Twitter or any social media outlet, connecting with your potential customers (or in this case followers) is key. If people get to know "you" first, they will be more apt to listen to you about your product.
There are many people or companies who get on Twitter and basically shoot a random tweet about their product. It begins to look a bit like "Spam Banners". The successful ones are always connecting and making connections and then tell us information on their product or services.
If one can use Twitter, it can be such a powerful marketing tool!
All the luck!
