OMG! Just Discovered Twitter!
Just returned from a FABULOUS seminar in Orlando, “Extreme Business Makeovers!”
A BIG THANKS go out to Thom Scott and Bob Burg who created this heart-warming business extravaganza.
What a terrific weekend program. Burg-Scott Communications, Inc. brought together a group of national leaders, who gave insights on how to grow your business more effectively. (See: www.extremebusinessmakeovers.com)
To quote from their website –
“Three national bestselling authors, a branding expert who was responsible for launching Dr. Phil and a marketer so skilled in using online tools that his viral marketing pieces have received over 60 MILLION views, and more … Do you think that there is something you can learn from these people?”
Besides the depth of information that we all received over 2 1/2 days, an expert team was chosen, based on these three things:
- They must have RESULTS that demonstrate their true expertise in their field
- They must be entrepreneurs - successfully dealing with their own businesses
- They must have the heart to give more value than they receive in payment ‘
And BOY — was there a lot of “heart” in that convention space. So many delightful people.
The power of twitter suddenly became apparent to me. Many people around the room were “tweeting” (sending messages) throughout the program. Then, we heard from the Mayor of Twitter himself — Scott Stratten, known at twitter as “unmarketing.”
I realized that this is a whole new world that I’ve been totally unaware of… a way to reach lots of new people in only 140 characters per message. I’m sure there are many others like me who just aren’t aware of its power.
And yes — it can be quite addictive. Like the thrill of opening up the mailbox and getting a letter in the mail. You just want to keep checking to see if someone wrote a note or “re-tweeted” you…
This has DEFINITELY got to be top priority on my marketing tips. You can subscribe on my website — www.parkaveproductions.com, or at the free tips” section on this blog.
My tweet name (created before all this knowledge was just presented to me) is lynnb0608. The question is… can I change it now to something more memorable? Or will I lose all my followers by doing that?
