Webinar: Tweet Your Way to Targeted Jobs or Business Opportunities Using Twitter (20 Sep 2010)

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 01:00:00 GMT

Cost: FREE for ETP Members - $25.00 for Non-ETP Members
(review ETP member benefits)

Who Should Attend

Professionals and business owners who want to be in total control of their business environment by expanding their personal network through the use of Twitter as a powerful social networking tool.

This webinar will show you how to attract targeted jobs / business opportunities using Twitter.

Potential of Using Twitter as a Business Tool
According to a study by RJMetrics published in January 2010 in Computer World magazine, Twitter users have reached over 75 million by the end of 2009. The study also indicated that every month 6.2 million new Twitter user accounts are created. However A February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network (Facebook being the largest, followed by MySpace), which puts the number of unique monthly Twitter visitors at roughly 6 million and the number of monthly visits at 55 million. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a growth of 1,382%.

Tweet yourself to a job or business opportunity
140 characters at a time? People are doing it everyday. How about you? Statistics show that job search and business networking is much more effective when you make “loose” connections - touching base with people beyond your immediate circle whose networks and contacts are much different from your own. With over 5 million users, Twitter offers an unparalleled opportunity to create an extended network.

You Will Learn:

How to expand your network connections without spending any noticeable time on Twitter.
How to engage network connections while sleeping.
How find Twitter conversations between people that share your common interests.
How to leverage Twitter to maintain your Facebook presence with friends and associates.
How Twitter can make people willingly connect and help you.
The secret to creating additional income on Twitter, while maintaining your focus in searching for jobs or business opportunities.
