Social media is almost a cultural thing. I mean, who does not have a Twitter account? If you have an online business of any kind, you would have to be crazy not to use Twitter. The only problem I see is that most people are using it incorrectly; it's just my take but I'm entitled to my opinion, I'm old enough to have earned the right!
The first thing I see is a lot of people selling their goods right off the bat. Come on dude, I don't even know you and I'm supposed to get in bed with you? Let's get to know each other first, or you know what? No one is going to pay much attention to you brother. You're just another person pushing stuff, and it does not give you much credibility. You can twitter all you want, but you're not going to get much as far as sales go.
I was always told you need to build your follower as quickly as possible, I guess it's suppose to make you look really important. See all my followers, I got it all, do you want to join me too? Well, people follow for more reasons than I care to know. What I do know is if you're going to use Twitter, do it right so every one comes out a winner.
Go ahead, start your account, add your user name and pass word, and in the back office set up everything you want people to see. Do your Bio, let them know who you are, keep it simple but clear. If you really want it to look professional there are web masters who can set you up for a small fee, there are programs you could purchase, or you could do it yourself by customizing your Twitter profile with Themeleon.
After you have everything set with your Twitter page, start following the people that are in your niche. But what I would recommend is this: start to communicate with people by sharing personal things with them, get to know them. If they start pushing their stuff on you, move on, because what you eventually want is to create a tribe. You want to gather a group of people of the same mind-set, ten would work nicely, to share and help each other grow by kicking ideas around, chatting within your blogs, or by creating a forum so that you can easily talk with each other.
Can you imagine each having an item you want to share or sell, and everyone helping by way of Twitter and retweet, and giving recommendations for one another? Think how many people you would reach when your efforts are being assisted by ten or more other people. It would be unbelievably surreal. You couldn't buy this much of an audience in such a short span of time!

It may not appear like it, but there are still thousands of online businesses not involved in video marketing. But, believe me; it won't be long before your competitors catch on.
Mind you, it will take time and practice...and more practice, but, before you know it, you'll be as good as the Video Queen.....maybe not! But you'll get better and better the more you work at it. Why would you want to create videos for your online business?
