This goes along with my on going mission to get off the couch and out into the world…I had no idea that I’d be getting out in such a big way. Read on:
I had a twitter account for months and didn’t say anything because I just didn’t get it, was afraid to sound stupid, and so I didn’t say anything at all. I just watched.
Then I met Laura Roeder and that all changed. She gave me a couple tips about twitter – it was like a light bulb went on! Now I’m doing things I’ve never done before, like going to tweet-ups. What’s a tweet up? Think of it as a play on words – think “meet up”. It’s simply using Twitter as a way to organize or promote a live event. You post to Twitter about where and what time you’ll be at – “Epulo Bistro” for instance, and then people show up – it’s very fun! This is exactly what happened on Tuesday night. People were even tweeting and taking pictures while they were there. I met Incredible Chef Karen, and Tim proprietor of Epulo Bistro.

Before when I wanted to organize something I’d send out an email – but Twitter reaches even more people faster, and because of your followers, you’re also touching base with people who you don’t know yet – getting a chance to meet different people. I’ve come to rely on Twitter as my post weight loss surgery community, and – I love to shop and recommend people, places, and things too! I have found so many good deals and learned so much. I love it.
I’m really excited to tell you about a new idea Laura discovered for getting testimonials from what people are already saying on Twitter. EVEN if no one is talking about you yet. I think some of you might like this tip and find it useful.
P.S. I hate asking for testimonials. It’s kind of awkward and uncomfortable for me. But this is super easy! Laura kind of stumbled across it and made a free video – here’s the link -Easy Twitter Testimonials. Click on it and let me know what you think. Here’s a little more information –

Just a heads-up that I released a new free video to my blog this morning! It outlines the 3-step method for turning twitter into an automated testimonial machine – EVEN if no one is talking about you yet. This is a method I use for my own business that I really discovered by accident. It is SUPER easy to do and the cool thing is after you set it up once you have a stream of real testimonials automatically fed to any site on the internet – could be an about page, a blog, a dedicated testimonials page or even on a sales page. Cool huh?
Here it is: Easy Twitter Testimonials.
