Fantastic Article Lynn!

I have been told these things about what you want to be know for before, yet when I read this post I wrote down the sentences with blanks and plan to fill them in today.

I am a jack of all trades so focusing on being the expert in one area has been my greatest difficulty. The template you have provided is a nice visual for me to really think strategically about it and fill in the blanks and then be tweetworthy and consistent in my tweets.

I love your writing style and way of explaining things in a way that is easy to understand and take action on.

Many webmasters find Twitter as a very useful tool in internet marketing. Your idea of using twitter as a research tool is great! I agree with you, it’s a very effective way to improve your products and other stuffs.

Thanks Lynn,great post and it is valuable to me to see how others are using Twitter as a strategy in internet marketing. I never really thought of it as a research tool, just a marketing tool. Bravo.

Personally, my strategy is to not Tweet to often. There are millions of people out there using Twitter for marketing purposes, and most of them come off as very “spammy”. I try to be more unique by only Tweeting once in a while. It seems to work.

This is the best article I’ve read on Twitter.

Finally, after reading through megabytes of oblique and obscure drivel, a clear, focused and practical how-to, with plenty of useful follow-up comments. What a great thing you have going here! When I read “What’s your strategy?” I had to admit “None.” Now I know what to do. I’ve just downloaded Tweet Deck and I will start chapter two of my relationship with Twitter.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Your analysis is helpful! Twitter is such a new way of thinking. It’s so right for the way we think and work too-everything fast and quick, if we like it we read more, if not we peruse on.

I think it’s definatley time to use twitter if you dont, and i think you’ve set up some good guidelines. I was researching statistics on twitter and came across some interesting statistics, i thought i’d share them with you. They come from nielsen findings.

From April 2008 to April 2009 twitter grew by 1382%

In February the largest age group on Twitter was 35-49; with nearly 3 million unique visitors, comprising almost 42 percent of the site’s audience.

62 percent of the audience access the site from work only.

As usual very well put! There are so many strategies to twitter but one factor that is common with all good Twitter marketing strategies, and you mentioned it too, KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

Lynn,
When I first started using Twitter I was just consumed with getting more followers that were in my area of interest. Since I started developing a couple of communities at Cagora and created very targeted Twitter accounts for those communities, I have totally changed my thinking on my first account and agree more with your strategy.

By the way, Twitter has become a lot more fun in my “niche” accounts instead of just the Internet Marketing crowd.

The most important tip of this post Lynn is using TweetDeck.

It took me over 8 months to start using it, but thanks to @DaivRawks knocking me upside the head, I finally got started and I would never recommend using the main Twitter site again.

The biggest hangups people typically have with Twitter (especially when they start or they follow a lot of people) is how to make sense of all the noise.

TweetDeck gives you permission to ignore 99% of what’s on Twitter, based on your preferences of what you want to pay attention to.

Since you can do permanent (or temporary) searches, you can really focus on just the main things; and arrange your panels (columns) in such a way to prioritize what to focus on.

It’s a huge time saver, incredible market research device, and an efficient way to keep track of the people you want to connect with on a regular basis.
