Using Twitter for Networking
By: Jason James

Twitter is the fastest growing social networking site on the Internet and a very popular subject within Internet marketing circles. Despite the opinions of many online marketers who dismiss Twitter as nothing but a waste of time, Twitter has proven to be a useful tool in the marketer's toolbox for driving traffic and networking with fellow marketers or people with similar interests.

When you're just getting started on Twitter, things can seem hectic or confusing. To get yourself hooked up with some followers who have similar interests as you, think of a popular online community that you frequent and start following people you know there. If you are active in this online community, then people will start to notice you and follow you as well.

Once you have a decent number of followers, it's time to start tweeting. When you tweet, it shouldn't be about yourself, but about others. There have been many spoofs of Twitter in the form of comics and videos which comment on how some people like to tweet about their everyday lives. If you want to brand yourself as someone knowledgeable and whom it would be desirable to follow, then you'll need to be able to provide value to your followers as well as potential followers.

There is a plethora of tools on the Internet that integrate with Twitter to provide greater functionality and options. Some of these sites provide options to automate some of your Twitter activities such as automatically following those who follow you or automatically sending welcome messages to those who follow you. Twitter is a social networking site, but people often forget about the social aspect of it. If you are truly interested in networking with people on Twitter, then try not to automate anything. While it does save time to automate parts of your Twitter account, doing so will make you seem less interested in your followers.

Twitter is a great networking tool because it allows you to get in touch with people who you wouldn't otherwise have a chance to meet. A great way to start a conversation with someone on Twitter is to either ask them a question, or answer one of their questions. Comments may be ignored, but if you help them or ask them for help, you are more likely to elicit a response from them. This is especially useful for networking with experts in your field.

If you tweet and interact with certain individuals long enough, they'll start trusting and respecting you. Once there is trust and respect between you, then that's when a viral networking effect begins. When people see something funny, it is common to tell a friend about it as soon as possible. It is kind of the same principle on Twitter. When serious Twitter users see something cool, they'll tweet about it. When they find someone worth following, they'll recommend that their followers follow this person as well. As soon as you start building your network on Twitter, you'll find that your follower base will start to grow on its own without any additional effort on your part.
