BellaOnline Forums Career Business Owners Twitter Newbie Confession

After standing on the sidelines and �listening� to quick 140 words or less conversations, announcements, tips and more I timidly made the decision to jump into the Twitter water. I�m fascinated by the whole thing and will confess right this moment that I have so much to learn. I publicly acknowledge that I�m no twitter expert, not even close however; I take comfort in knowing that there are Twitter experts out there, whew! Thank goodness.

Great article Jordan! I'm a followin' you now. I am trying to muddle my way through too as I am fairly new to Twitter as well. It took me a while to figure out what to post. I tend to use it for business - posting articles and classes. I mean who cares that I have computer problems or what I had for dinner anyway? I save that for my Facebook page. My biggest problem is how to find people when you don't know their user name. Is there a Twitter "How To" out there?

Thanks for the follow. I'm following back so you can "practice on me!" Well, I know there are books and lots of social media people on twitter that give tips. I'm following many of them just to get updates and information on using social media effectively. I love to learn and tend to follow people that I can learn from. I'm even following Twitter for updates. By the way, would you like to have your business feature in my 60-in-60 series? Let me know and I'll give you more details.

Great Twitter article! Following you too, now.

Just wondering what the 60 in 60 program is?

There's actually a really great article on CNet about how to use twitter - here is the link: CNet Article about using twitter

I don't know if these are any good - but here are a few YouTube videos too:

I read part of an article today that Twitter has trouble keeping members. People join and then after a month or so stop coming to the site. How do you like Twitter?

I mostly use it to post articles so, it's good for me.

So Twitter is awesome for Taking traffic to you website . It is very simple to setup and its a fun positive way to keep in contact with people. To get more followers on twitter check out this amazing tool.<a href=BellaOnline ALERT: Raw URLs are not allowed in these forums for security reasons. Please use UBB code.

Funny enough none of my friends post twitter updates. Most of my followers are posting to get traffic to their websites or articles too.

I'm a writer, and love Twitter for the writing tips and inspirations! It encourages me to hear that fellow writers are getting articles accepted and writing about what they love. Only 2 of my friends are on Twitter....mostly I'm surrounded by writers, editors, and agents - which I love!

I do post my blog updates once in awhile, but don't want to do it to often.
