Have a Tweet Plan
 
When you use Twitter to grow your business, you need to develop a Twitter marketing plan. This will help you use Twitter more effectively and get better results.
 
Determine the Goals of Your Tweets
Here are some possible goals:
  • Build strong relationships that can lead to sales or referrals
  • Educate followers about your industry and benefits of your products and services without "selling"
  • Generate leads
  • Increase awareness of your product and service
  • Improve customer support
 
 
Let Your Tweets Serve a Variety of Purposes
  • Share valuable information with your followers/target market.
  • Ask your followers relevant questions (similar to a survey), especially any related to your industry. This helps you learn more about your target market and discover more about their needs. 
  • Share information that can help/benefit your followers.
  • Share information about your business or products/services.
 
Keep Your Tweets Fresh and Interesting
  • Make sure you are Tweeting about something relevant and valuable
  • Interesting Tweets attract more followers
  • Share interesting news from your industry or something interesting that you or your business is doing
 
Make a Tweet Commitment
  • Make Tweeting a part of your daily routine
  • Determine how long and how often you will Tweet and stick with it daily
  • If possible, Tweet at least 4 times a day
  • Twaitter allows you to schedule several Tweets to post at whatever times you choose, so you can Tweet when you're not in the office or even while you're sleep. You can also set up recurring Tweets.
 
Determine What You Will Tweet About
  • Don't just Tweet about what you had for dinner, where you ate dinner, or where you're planning to go
  • Decide what you will Tweet about (something interesting or valuable that will make people want to follow you) 
  • Determine the categories of your Tweets
  • After you determine what you will Tweet about, go to Twitter Search  and Monitter  to find current Tweets about these topics and join in. 
 
 
Spread Your Wings
  • Don't just follow people you know. Branch out and find new people to follow.  Many of them will decide to follow you if you provide valuable information and input  
  • Join interesting conversations
  • Remember, it's about building new relationships
  • Use Twitter Troll to find new people to follow on Twitter.
  • Twitter Local and TwellowHood help you find Twitter users by geographic location
  • Twellow sorts Twitter users by categories based on keywords in their profile

 Chris Padden

Chris Padden needs a kidney transplant. 
 
Free website hosting for non-profits
 
We offer free website hosting and discounted website design to help non-profit organizations and to help people raise money for special causes. 

To kick off the program, we recently created a website to help Chris Padden, a Plano man who needs a kidney transplant. We have known Chris' father Brian for several years. When we heard Chris' story, we had to help.

On the website, which tells his touching story, people can donate money to help with his medical expenses and find out the requirements for donating a kidney. Please visit the website for more information and pass this information on to anyone who might be interested in helping Chris. Also, spread the word about this service we're offering.
