Should Twitter be considered an important social media tool for business? I would have to say, yes! I have been using Twitter since 2009 but no where in the capacity of how I use Facebook. Twitter has always generated a decent flow of traffic to my blog, but even without having a strategy in place, I’ve acquired some quality clients who found me on Twitter.
In 2012, I decided to spend a bit more time using Twitter to meet more people and grow my business. I came up with a simple strategy that didn’t require much more of my time and must say, I’ve been pleased with the results so far.

Tell us about yourself and your business: I am a christian motivational speaker, sharing my m.e.i. system for success that benefits all aspects of life, business, ministry, personal growth, family, children and life in general. When you apply this system in the area you choose/your focus – it has been proven to have a HUGE impact.
I am a mother to 5 children and have had experience in over 18 home based businesses, including being a hair designer for over 14 years. Business and Ministry are my passion and being able to blend the M.E.I. system into that has been a blessing. It simply is changing the way you approach things, purposely putting others first and then your goals/dreams will come later down the road.
When I first began marketing online, I had already heard the phrase, “The fortune is in the follow-up”, a billion times as a Network Marketer. I can admit, following up used to be a struggle for me, even in my direct sales business because I always felt like following up, meant I would be seen as a nuisance.
Since those early days, I’ve learned (the hard way), the value in staying in touch with prospects on a regular basis. I also realized that when my way of thinking changed toward the idea of reconnecting, my income began to grow.
The changing point for me came when a customer I finally called after months…boldly asked me, “why did it take so long for you to call me?” I had no answer other than I had been making excuses.
