If you’re still on the fence as to if you should be using Twitter or are wondering if you’re getting the most you can from the service here are 5 practical ways that I’ve used Twitter to grow my business in the past week.

As I’ve mentioned before, Twitter is the #1 source of traffic to my site after the search engines and here are a few methods that I’m using:

1) Promote New Content On My Website

Twitter-1

2) Connect With People I’m Doing Business With

Twitter-2-1

Twitter-2-2

3) Congratulate A Client Who Is Having A Birthday

Twitter-3-1

Twitter-3-2

4) Make New Connections With Potential Partners

Twitter-4-1

Twitter-4-2

5) Thank People Who Mention And Promote My Business

Twitter-5-1

Twitter-5-2

As you can see, it doesn’t take much to connect with people through Twitter and let them know that you’re paying attention and that you care. Twitter can be a great way to quickly build new connections and maintain the ones you currently have.

What are some of the ways that you’re using Twitter? Please give specific examples by commenting below – I would love to hear from you!

    Its also a good research tool to see which topics are currently popular, which can be useful information.

    Also can be used to find out people’s opinions about certain products/topics etc.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I don’t use Twitter much because I don’t see much use for it so any good tips I can get might just change my mind.

    Wow and I thought Twitter was only used to status updates. I will be more conscious of integrating it into my website and letting the world know when I have written something or made changes!
