I have just completed reading Twitterville- How Business Can Thrive in the New Global Neighborhoods, by Shel Israel. It was and is a book that has encouraged me to open a Twitter account and use it for my businesses.
The whole ideal of using social media to promote my businesses was the furthest idea from my mind. I as well as millions of others have felt the same, thinking that social media is just that, a media to social and meeting people. But once you come to think about it, it’s that how business usually begins? In most cases business begins with a simple introduction of who you are. After that you talk about small issues like the weather, sports etc. As time goes on, you learn more about the person you recently met. Then eventually, there may be an opportunity to do business together. Nine times out of ten, that is the scenario.
After having read Twitterville, it has opened my eyes to view social media in a new light. Shel Israel helps the reader to see how social media, in particular, Twitter, has help numerous businesses, worldwide.
Make time and read this book. You will be glad you did. I am.
