1. your life, your way

2. having an online presence Your online presence should be an extension of you Brand YOU Lots of social media options out there Twitter is just one. But its an influential one Be consistent in your branding

3. general twitter tips Good photo Well-written bio page that expresses who you are in a professional way with a broad range of interests “Network marketing professional & Motivational Speaker with a leading UK direct sales company. Sports fan of SAFC, Histon FC, New England Patriots” This is followed by a link to my website Your twitter feed is only as interesting as the people you follow Follow a good number of people who share your interests Interact. Many people simply read the tweets of others rather than interact with people Re-tweet things you find interesting/inspirational The aim of twitter is to gain followers who you can then influence

4. so how do you gain followers? Be interesting! Interact with others Tweet regularly – I recommend to start with check twitter first thing in the morning. Review any mentions or new followers & re-tweet one or two interesting/inspirational tweets Send a tweet or two of your own – don’t only be a re-tweeter Think of tweets that others may find helpful. They are more likely to re-tweet Their followers will see your tweet if its re- tweeted. This will gain you followers

5. promoting your business Don’t spam! Talk about kleeneze positively but honestly Don’t just advertise your business non-stop Learn to use shortened links (I use bitly.com) so you can provide a link to your websites Re-tweet other positive messages about kleeneze

6. recruiting through twitter Search #kleeneze regularly Search other useful key words Build relationships Offer solutions

7. selling products Very rarely will anybody just generally buy from your webshop directly from seeing a tweet Offer a particular product and brand it eg stylfile Direct despatch offers us a wonderful opportunity but don’t abuse it

8. don’t let social media take-over your life Don’t reduce your normal lead-generating and other business activity Social media is a tool to be used to add to what you do It can re-connect you to others you used to know & connect you to thousands of others who share your interests Get tweeting!!
