Local Search Firms On Twitter (How You Can Do Business Through Microblogging)
Matt McGee has made a list of local search companies on Twitter. Just look around the popular social site and you’ll find all kinds of businesses using it to connect with their target markets, everything from lawyers to poets. It’s sort of become the ultimate social site, a bit like an online golf course. You show up to showcase your lousy game scores and close the business deal of a lifetime.
We’ve covered some of the search engine optimization benefits of Twitter in previous posts. There are plenty more, I’m sure. But what about doing business in general?
Don’t think you can just go on Twitter and start selling stuff. I guess you could, but people likely won’t buy that way. Instead, start a Twitter account and watch what others do for awhile, then start interacting. Join conversations, build relationships, and learn how to use the tool. Do a little promotion, but don’t make every blog post a promo. Instead, focus on building value. That’s how companies from local search firms to International giants are using Twitter.

Very true, i like ‘You show up to showcase your lousy game scores and close the business deal of a lifetime.’ hehe. Places like twitter are fantastic to get good business, but it has to be smart business. You need to gain the value by writing excellent and interesting blogs to get people interested and visiting it, and when you interact with people, it will all flow naturally.
@ Claire – This is very true! A key to using Twitter to attract business can be writing and posting excellent blogs posts and “tweeting” about them, for sure!
