Everyone is asking What is Twitter? How do you use it? and more importantly, WHY would you want to use it? Read on to find out more informations about this great site.
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

Many people use this just for fun to meet new people. Others use it to get traffic to their blogs or websites, and some use Twitter to gain more knowledge from well known experts in a certain field. Whatever the reason, it is a great site, and you should start tweeting today.

Here are some Twitter tips that you can implement to bring new followers every day.

1. Find people who are interested in your particular niche. Simply do a search in twitter for your niche- this is targeting your market. You can then find and follow people that are interested in the same things you are. This is a great opportunity to learn from them and gain followers who may be interested in what you have to offer.

2. Join Social Networking Sites like Facebook or MySpace - Once a member, you can then find the Twitter groups and write a blurb about yourself. People that are interested will follow you on Twitter.

3. Post a question with a poll - of course your poll will be on your website or blog but let everyone know that you have a poll.

4. Seek advice or training in an area where you need help. People enjoy sharing their experiences and knowledge to help others.

5. Get involved with conversations, rather than just posting random tweets. This is where you will really begin to develop relationships.

6 . Go to www.tweetlater.com and sign up to help you automatically respond to those who follow you. You simply set it up where an instant thank you message is sent to all of your followers.

7. Post your Twitter link in your social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook (has an application that automatically shows all of your Twitter updates), LinkedIn, etc.

8. Search for a big name or successful person in your niche market. Go to their followers list and start following those people. Most of these people can be potential customers that are looking for more information. You can follow a max of 2000 people until 2000 people are following YOU. Then you can get past the 2000 mark.

Let the tweeting begin!
