Basic tips and tricks for using Twitter effectively

Twitter Logo
I am by no means the authority on this topic, nor am I the best Twitter user out there. I do not have the largest group of followers on Twitter, but I have a few. Some may think that I am not qualified to talk about this, but I feel like there is a lot of information out there about how to use Twitter to grow your business. In fact I think that everyone involved in the industry has written a book on it. Not that I believe this to be a problem, after all we live in the “information age”.
