Building relationships with business contacts:
Twitter makes it easy to keep in touch with business partners and contacts. Traditional instant messaging is on its way out, and you'll find that most savvy internet marketers use Twitter as their primary social networking tool. So take advantage of this fact! Hook up with your contacts so you can work on building a closer relationship.
Crowd-sourcing:
Crowd-sourcing is a unique form of outsourcing. It works by calling on your friends, fans, followers, email subscribers, etc. to contribute ideas and solutions. Basically, it is a form of “group intelligence”.
By listening to the crowd, marketers and business owners can figure out the exact thoughts, needs, and wants of their customer base. In this way, innovative new ideas and strategies are born that are guaranteed to fall in line with the desires of the consumer.
By directly asking your followers what type of new software they'd like to see developed, or what their biggest setbacks are, or what they liked/disliked most about your last ebook, you can gain an incredibly amount of insight about your business!
Twitter provides a perfect platform for crowd-sourcing.
Thanks for the tutorial. I am a pretty new member to WA and well able to set up account and tweet but thats it. Having explanations of the system in general terms is a mine full of gold. I very much interested in creating tutorials are such, just still on a huge learning curve.
Thank you.
