Myth #1: The Twitter train has taken off, and you missed it.

Fact: Twitter is the latest tool on the internet. It is not an outdated has-been. Twitter is the latest and greatest in the social media sector. It is hot and happening, and everyone constantly talks about it. And, Twitter is always creating new applications on a daily basis. So, even though Twitter has been up and running for over a year now, there are many internet users out there that are unfamiliar with Twitter, and even less people know that it can be an excellent business tool. For those who believe the boat has passed, do not worry; it is not true. However, the time to jump on board is right now. You must strike while the iron is hot.

Myth #2: The more people you follow, the more people will follow you.

Fact: There is a new term used by the blogging community: Twitter Promiscuous. Twitter is not the right outlet for this. Using Twitter this way will chase away quality followers who could become customers. Too many people think that you must collect as many visitors as you can. The truth is, quality matters much more than quantity. The people who follow you say more about you and your business than the amount of followers. In other words, having 100 followers that have a quality business relationship with you is better than having 10,000 followers that do not even glance at your tweets.

Myth #3: Twitter produces few results in way too much time.

Fact: Twitter is not as time consuming as most people think; it can even be used via mobile phones to update quickly and easily. There is an advantage to Twitter as opposed to traditional advertising. With standard advertising methods, you have to take the time to sit and discuss the direction of your campaign. But, with Twitter, you can update tweets, view profiles, and answer questions; it is not even necessary to be tied down to your computer desk. You can do all of this from your phone while you are out on a lunch break or out of your office.

If you are familiar with online marketing tools, you know about the ad networks and agencies’ structuring. And, you also understand that using these tools cost money. You do not only have to pay for the tool itself, but for the monitoring software including with the tool. This is why Twitter is much different. First of all, Twitter and its profile monitors are completely free, and you do not have to sacrifice the number of people that will follow your campaign. You will get the same amount of people as basic advertising methods. As you can see, Twitter does give users outstanding results.

Twitter really is one of the best and newest marketing tools for businesses. Using Twitter in the right way might just land you your next customer, and the only thing you have to do is write a 140 word tweet.
