I Understand Twitter, a little
In the title, I say I understand Twitter, a little and I think I also have to include "Maybe". For the longest time I wanted nothing to do with social media, but to get my message out for my business, Property Management in Orange County Ca. I started to slowly delve into the scary world of social media. I still don't know if I do social media the correct way, to get the most out of it, probably not. Between Facebook and twitter, I have to say, Twitter seems to be the most interesting to me.
As I started to get more involved in Twitter, I found that I could follow businesses that interest me. As a Real Estate Broker and being in Property Management in Orange County California I follow people and businesses in my industry all around the country. As a contractor, I started to follow all the large builders around the country and I really enjoy that Twitter allows me to be connected with these companies and allows me to see everyday at a glance what these builders are doing. I follow many design companies to see what is new in the home design industry.
Now, I don't understand how all this helps my business, I have very few followers and when I do get a follower that I don't know, I wonder if I should also follow them to return the favor. I usually do. Most of the stuff that comes across Twitter I just pass by and pay no attention. Many of the short messages seem garbled to me, but as I glance through the list in the morning, I do find some gems that I enjoy clicking on and reading.
Just like everything in life, you have to go though a lot of junk to get to a gem, Twitter is no different. I may never figure out how to promote my business on Twitter, but I get quite a bit of information to hopefully enhance my Property Management in Orange County Ca. business.
