Twitter can be a great tool for small businesses, like home-based businesses, but knowning how best to use Twitter can be the difference between tweet success and not developing a following.
"Are You Headed for a Twitter Chernobyl?" on BNet outlines five ways small businessses can use Twitter to successfully market their products. First, don't always sell something. Second, keep your tweets at a minimum. Third, keep Twitter separate from Facebook. Fourth, don't neglect your Twitter account. Fifth, keep up with security on your account.
Following these simple steps can help you use Twitter to your business's best advantage.

Twitter Tips
If you use Twitter to market your business or company, "Tips for an Effective Twitter Profile" in Practical e-Commerce can help.
The author recommends spending some time developing your Twitter profile with information and photos. Keep your bio short and sweet, with appropriate links to your website and other online information relating to your business.
Also make sure your username is something easily recognizable and not too obscure. But with only 15 characters, you might have to get creative.
Keep your background simple but striking. Don't forget to include ways visitors can contact you and other company data.
Twitter can be one more tool in your marketing arsenal. Having a good profile can boost your following.

Think you don’t have time for Facebook and Twitter? You should make the time because building your brand (i.e., business) via the social web can bring huge dividends in the long run, according to a recent blog on Small Business Trends called “Why The Social Web Is Like Falling in Love.”
The author recommends viewing brand-building as a long-term relationship. Put the effort in and receive the fruits of your labor later. See the value of social media and embrace that as part of your marketing plan.
I plan on tackling how to use social media as a marketing tool in an upcoming issue of At Home News. Sign up for this free monthly e-newsletter by clicking on the newsletter tab.
