I’ve had a lot of people in my MLM community approach me and ask, “How in the heck do I use Twitter for online marketing?” These people have registered with Twitter and are starting to use it to build a community but remain clueless about how to use it for online marketing. Twitter is definitely one of the more indirect forms of online marketing and I sometimes have trouble explaining this to my newbies. Luckily, Perry Belcher put out this great video that explains how Twitter is kind of like going to a lot of parties all the time. You network on Twitter the same way you chat at a party. In other words, you don’t hit someone you just met over the head with a blaring advertisement about your business. You just let them know what line of work you’re in and leave it at that.
