Share

Alright, now that you have a grasp on what Twitter is and how other businesses are using it in their social media marketing plans, it’s time for you to “join the conversation.”

Part 4 of the Minnesota BBB”s 2009 Focus Seminar provides a basic walkthrough of the steps involved in setting up a Twitter account and offers some tips on how to best configure it as a business marketing tool. Like initiating any business or marketing strategy, it never hurts to be prepared.

  2. Write your bio
