For the small business owner, learning to use Twitter is akin to learning a new language. What’s a Hashtag or a Re-Tweet? Although Twitter may not be the best time investment for every small business owner, it can be a powerful marketing and customer relationship tool if used correctly. Many people are using Twitter to voice their pleasure (and displeasure) for anything and everything, maybe even your business. Twitter is definatly a large investment of your time so even if your decide not to use Twitter for your business, you should at least monitor Twitter to see if people are talking about you and your business.
Instead of writing a tutorial on how to use Twitter, the folks over at Twiends.com created an awesome, easy to understand infographic on using Twitter that will give you a great visual learning experience

I love the illustration shown above. It’s very descriptive and easy to understand. I can say that it’s truly a useful beginner’s guide on how to use twitter. Definitely a great visual learning experience for me!
Glad you found it useful Peter!
Many people called this as “tweetbiz” or literally called as “Business in twitter.” Well, this approach is ideal if you have thousands of followers. Twitter can be also a good place to promote or start your business. You just need time to tweet and follow friends.
Finding time to build your Twitter presence is defiantly a challenge for everyone. One tool I like to use is Buffer Apps

I do promote my business on twitter sometimes but I’m much focusing on SEM than SMM. Tweeting is only a part time work for me. However, I do admit that Twitter helps me gain lots of customers though.
Both are really important Andy, though Social Media Marketing does take alot of time and patience. Glad to see Twitter is working for you. Cheers!
Having a twitter account is like having a customer service department. I used Twiends to reach more people so I can share our wonderful services with them. So far so good. Our online business has been working great after creating a twitter account.
Great to see you are using Twitter successfully. If you can figure out how to make it work, using Twitter is a very effective marketing and customer service tool.
Our company got 3 people checking our social networking accounts so we can be updated about our customers. This is a great investment because people are always online and very much use these sites. I will check on Twiends, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments Leah!
