    Whether you are just getting started with an online business or you have been around for a while and looking for a new way to network, have a look at what Twitter has to offer for Marketing.

    How to Use Twitter For Marketing

    Do create two separate accounts for personal and business use.
    Firstly, void sending personal messages to prospective clients. You can send private messages to your friends and family, but this can be a time consuming process. Instead, create two separate accounts, as you will save time and there will be no confusion.

    Do not spam.
    Spam is a big violation on Twitter.

    Do not pressure your followers to buy

    Do include a link
    When sending Twitter updates to followers, include a link.

    Do not send late night tweets
    It is no secret that home based and online workers work flexible hours.

    I am using twitter.

    What about if you use an automate system to tweet your posts, is that good or bad if the posts go out different hours?

    The traffic brought from twitter is instantaneous. Most are on the schedule that work the traditional 9-5. You should avoid late night Tweets. Followers with mobile web alerts may be awoken from sleep.

    But it also depends on the time difference. If your potential customers are in daytime now, you can send tweets late night in your country.

    It's probably best to tweet out an important link 2 or 3 times in different times so you can reach all time zones. Remember, the internet is world wide. (Unless your business isn't).
