[Take note of today’s action… and I look forward to hearing you and seeing you in the Twitterverse.] Have you ever suffered from ‘Tweeter’s Block’? I know I have. Sometimes there are days when you’re just not sure what to tweet about or how to engage people. It’s important to maintain your presence on Twitter every single day so that people know you’re open for business. This is very essential if you’re an online-based enterprise. The great thing about Twitter is that so many amazing little applications and services are available for you to mix up your content and have a break from just tweeting out text based links or 140 character rambles.

Here are 5 Creative ways to tweet for business

  1. Share photos via Twitpic.com – Upload pictures of your office and give people a snapshot into your work environment.
  2. Tweet out your favorite songs on Blip.fm – This nifty service allows you to become a DJ and send out links to your favorite songs.
  3. Participate in #followfriday – List only five people in small niche groups and recommend why people should follow them. Flattery will get you everywhere!
  4. Retweet interesting quotes/links – A huge part of Twitter is helping to support others. If you don’t want to tweet out your own stuff try then help other people and proliferate their content.
  5. Tweet a 12 second message – Use 12seconds.tv – The easiest way to share video moments with your friends on the web. This is a great way to add another dimension to your Teitter presence. Or alternatively link to your YouTube videos.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to the adventures you can have on Twitter. The most important thing is to not be self-conscious and realize that the more authentic and personable you are, then the more interest you will generate for yourself and your business.   TODAY’S TASK: Pick on of Sarah’s 5 Tips and implement that action today.
