How To Use Twitter

Well it is Saturday and Saturday at My Auction Empires is How To Day, and the How To for today is Twitter.

Twitter is a what is known as a Micro Blog and allows you to use 140 characters to tell your followers what you are up to.  Twitter can be up dated from your computer or from your mobile phone.

So if you are not yet part of Twitter then pop along to http://www.twitter.com and you will see a screen like this.

Now if you are a member sign in as normal, but if you are new click on the green “get started – Join” button at the bottom. You will then be taken to a screen like this

Just follow along and fill out the boxes. Now before you pick a user name think what you are going to be using it for. You are allowed to have multiple accounts by the way, but also remember that you need to keep them up to date, so my advice is have a main one and then some sun ones when you want to test some things.

Once you have signed up you will see a page like this :

This is where you can follow people and see who is following you. In future blog posts I will cover how you can use it to drive traffic and make sales on your sites.
But some advice, give content at all times and make a few pitches as well and your followers will love.

A great book to help you understand the Power of Twitter is called Twitter Power by Joel Comm my advice is buy this book today and start to read and put into action what Joel tells you.
