Looking For Home Business Gold Nuggets?


If you're reading this blog, it means you're looking for a way to help you make money from home. You're hoping that you'll discover some nugget of information that will unlock the door to home business success riches.

Well you can stop right there...

There isn't a single gold nugget that will take you to home business success. In fact, it takes many nuggets joined together to give you consistent home business success. Here are a couple of fun and very engaging marketing nuggets that make promoting your home business a success.

  1. Twitter -- By now you've heard of it, probably tried it; yet you can't understand what all the fuss is about. You wonder, why would anyone care what you're doing?
Think of Twitter as sending an interesting text message to all your cell phone contacts. We've all received and sent joke texts, Bible scripture texts, and funny pictures on our cell phones before.

Twitter is used the same way except now your contact list is global and all these contacts are 'following' or befriending you because what you say is interesting.

Think of Twitter as a pool part at Jamie Foxx' crib and there are lots of cool folks there. And guess what? You're one of the cool people! So in 140 characters or less (text message size), you get to tell your global connections whats on your mind.

Many times I tweet about breaking news, offbeat weird news, and of course the articles that I Digg. Twitter can be an extension of your marketing and promotion campaign. People like the messages I tweet, and they often Retweet (RT) them as well. Retweet (RT) is the act of your followers resending your tweets to even more followers. Viral marketing at its best.

Warning: Twitter is very addictive!

I installed TweetDeck on my PC and I use the TwitterBerry App on my Blackberry. Both these tools keep me tweeting quickly and efficiently.

TweetDeck is a software I added that easily lets me see which of my followers are most active, along with what are the popular trending topics of the moment. TweetDeck is a powerful tool duplication tool that helps you get more followers and leads.


Remember, social networking is a two way street. Recognize your followers weekly by using #followfriday, or any other method of saying thank you. This creates a conversational tone that will earn you a reputation as being responsive and credible.

In the next post, I'll share another social media gem: How to mine for gold nuggets using Facebook.
