My dad came to me and asked what is twitter about? Why do you use it? Who uses it? How do you use it? I realized maybe a little explanation would help others out there as well. I also talked to a coworker about it and they had the same questions.

Twitter is a platform on the computer or internet to make people aware of what you are doing. It is kind of like texting on the computer to the world called a tweet. A question comes up to why would you want to txt the world?

Hollywood stars use it to let fans know what they are doing. Organizations like CNN, WWF, Earthhour use it to get the word out about petitions or other environmental happenings. I have found Veterinary clinics posting jobs.

I learned to use twitter as part of my business marketing plan. At first it seemed very strange and pointless. As I started using it I realized it was a great tool to reach like minded people interested in the same business ideas.

As a social tool on a personal level I don’t see the real value and feel the phone or email is great for keeping in touch with friends. I have a few friends on twitter socially and they don’t use it anymore. Facebook and Myspace are places friends connect regularly. I could see twitter used for a wedding to keep guest and party up to date on what is going on in the planning. A family reunion may be a good thing to start on twitter to keep people posted on happenings up to the event.

I know there are speculations that it is not going to be around much longer. I will use it for business for however long it is around. I am amazed how many people follow me and what I do. Although I have not been on much the last few month people can see what I have done in the past. I hope this helps answer questions about twitter.

I wanted to share a little wisdom about creating a blog from my experience. At this point you are learning to market your business online and building a blog. If you are using the Renegade University system and following the step by step process it is pretty simple to get a blog up quick.

I made my first blog on squarespace with the step by step process instructed by Mike Klingler. Squarespace is easy and quick to use once you are acustumed to the site. Your blog can be up and running in a matter of hours. It is a little more expensive and less flexible if you want to keep the account.

I searched for other blog options to make sure I was getting the best deal. A good habit of mine is shopping for the best deal. I had heard a bit about wordpress and hostgator. I deceded to go with them because it was more flexible site building, email was included and less money. As I got started I had to figure my own way around. I became frustrated having to learn PHP to build my site. Wordpress was a bit more difficult, took more time and a steep learning curve. All I wanted was my site up and here I was having to learn code. Then Donna Wells told me to use Fantastico and this made worpress as easy as squarespace. Now I have the skills to write and read PHP. It makes building my blog even quicker.

Wordpress has a great forum to help answer questions. It was a resource I did not use until weeks into making my blog. They even have a section about introduction to wordpress. This is a great resource to use.

Another tip I want to give you if you are growing in the back office. Create a blog while you are creating an Ezine. Once the Ezine is ready to Publish you will need a website to put in the footer. Even if the blog is messy it will be a work in progress and it can be used to get your ezine up and running.

Good luck and have fun creating. I found it was like being in elementary school again with contruction paper and glue. As always I am here to help anytime feel free to call or email me.

I’m blown away by Ann Siege’s new Special Report called
“The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto.”

It’s free and it’s available today.

Let me tell you why this has got me so excited!

You know, one of Ann’s biggest contributions to this
industry was exposing the lie that grunt work (cold calling
and randomly prospecting strangers) would ever produce
any profitable results.

But now she has taken her message further. Much further.

She shows how anyone – and I do mean anyone – can use
attraction marketing to build an automatic online recruiting
and selling machine. For low cost or not cost at all.

Here’s what’s even better, especially for network marketers:

What Ann shows is how this kind of attraction marketing
is easily duplicateable on the Internet.

If you’ve been looking for specifics and proof about
attraction marketing, this report will show you things you’ve
never seen before.

It will also help you overcome information overload and
open up possibilities you may have never imagined.

And it will give you the road map to fulfill the promise of
residual income… and it even goes further than that!

Well, you’ll have to see for yourself. Fortunately this report
is free, and you can download your own personal copy in
a matter of minutes.
