How to Use Twitter for Business

Twitter is one of the social media platforms that fewer people really understand. It seems a bit mysterious - sort of like writing a poem that goes viral. It is actually easy to set up and with just 140 characters (140 for the Tweet and 20 for the address), it doesn't take long to write it. The 140 characters are the same as a SMS text message. What are the advantages or the differences between Twitter and other social platforms? Twitter is much more instant. While this video does not cover them, there are Twitter parties that are typed out in realtime. Getting an answer to a tweet a few seconds later is also common. Everything happens faster and messages can go viral very quickly too, meaning there is an explosion of shares and retweets. I guess you might know that the younger media users rarely use e-mail these days. It's all text messages, instagram posts and Tweets. Twitter has been used by astronauts on the International Space Station because the message could more easily be transmitted such long distances. However, I haven't found it useful with my Chinese business partners. It doesn't seem to be set up in some places.

Residual Income with Business Labs Pro

Here's a short video in which I am being interviewed by Mark Wright, one of the co-founders of Rapid Time Networks, a meetup network located mostly in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I relate how to set up and benefit from the Business Labs Pro system that will produce a residual or passive income for the owner. There are a lot of residual income business ideas these days, but as I point out in this video, the staff of Business Labs Pro have been testing and improving this system for two years now to find a system that will work for everyone - one that produces results in the form of people who bring in sales or a good ROI (return of investment).

Residual income with Business Labs Pro

It works by setting up back links with social media and then by adding content from time to time. All you have to do is follow the video tutorials that are provided in the training. This will work for brick and mortar businesses as well as online ones. There are many residual income benefits. Most people trade time for money. Even if they like their jobs, they are still set on a schedule. Wouldn't you rather be making money while you are sleeping or better yet, while you are in Hawaii on a beach? Having a source of residual income is also a good addition to a regular job and it's not hard to learn this system. Why not try it out?

Ask the Internet Marketing Experts

When learning how to market online or for a brick and mortar business some people learn best by going to a large gathering, a convention or a large workshop. There are lots of gains to such gatherings - finding out what others are doing, discovering new approaches or online inventions and more importantly hearing what the experts have to say. Recently in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where I live part of the time there was a 3-day convention entitled, Business for Excellence. The mover and shaker and master extraordinaire of this event was Colin Sprake and here's some of what he had to say. I also asked various speakers and participants for their feedback on this convention and what advice they would give to people just starting out in internet marketing. Here are their replies.

Ask the Internet Marketing Experts: Local Experts

There are so many local experts here in Vancouver, but I couldn't write an article about them without including two more, Dan Lok and Isabelle Mercier. Both are very successful millionaires thanks to the internet. Isabelle can be found at http://leaptv.com and http://leapzonestrategies.com. Recently she spoke at a meeting of Dan Lok's Vancouver Entrepreneurs Group with the title, "Transform Your Business into a Well-Oiled Machine to Double Your Revenue". I asked he the same question: her advice for those just beginning in internet marketing. Here is her reply. Last but not least is Dan Lok (http://danlok.com) another self-made man, one of the new breeds of young recent millionaires. He host a meetup group, Vancouver Entrepreneurs Group and also sells his books, videos and courses. Here is a video especially for starting entrepreneurs. It's a lot of information but the great advantage to the internet is that unlike TV, you can come back and replay most any time. It's there when YOU are ready too. Have any comments? Would love to hear from you.
