Relationship Marketing and Twitter Success

This may be a touchy subject. I use Twitter as a very big part of my business. And, in actuality, it’s not all about business. Besides providing value to other marketers and internet communities, I want to get to know people and enjoy my relationships with them.

For marketing purposes, there are BETTER ways to use Twitter. I say “Better” because they are not the only ways to use Twitter and I am certainly not going to sit here an knock the way anyone chooses to use it. Unless it’s belligerent and they have very bad manners or bully syndrome. As with all things in life, I just take what I can use and leave the rest.  And I recommend you do the same.

The purpose of this post is to show some of the wrong ways to use Twitter for Relationship Marketing and the best way to use Twitter for building relationships with people in marketing.

I am going to be the guest speaker on a call this evening at 6 pm Pacific Standard Time. I am using this post to point out some examples I will be presenting during that call. I have created some screen shots to provide a helpful visual.

So the first thing I want you to do is to picture yourself reading a great, well-written article on this blog. As you are reading the article, you catch some text off to the right in your peripheral vision.

A. Either that text is going to compliment your blog content and make people want to read it even more; or

B. That text is going to turn people off.

As a reader of this blog post “How NOT to Twitter”, you are either

A. Going to see the power in having that text there and positioning yourself with it; or

B. You are going question why it needs to be there in the first place and think to yourself that it’s a choice and it can be removed if it doesn’t create the image people are looking for.

If you are smart, and you really want to take advantage of the technology that allows us to participate in relationship marketing and extend your success to a whole new level, never before available, then you will focus on the powerful marketing resource before you!

You will want to be on the call tonight at 6 pm PT, 9 PM ET, to hear me talk about the following images. Those who are on the call will hear my explanations about the images.

If you would like to attend the call, please direct message me at http://www.twitter.com/wendyroan and I will provide you the phone number and password by email.

Here are the Images Required for Tonight’s Call

Because Twitter has literally changed my marketing presence online, helped me to earn my first dollars online, and introduced me to so many wonderful people and great resources, it deserves the stamp “Powerful Marketing Resource“

P.S. I hope to have your support on my first ever teleseminar call as a guest speaker! It’s both exciting and a little scary for me. So I am hoping you will be there to make it an even better experience. Remember, if you want to be on the call, please DM me at http://www.twitter.com/wendyroan

HISTORICAL TRIBUTES

Susan B. Anthony

In 1849 Susan gave her first public speech. She was responsible for publicizing and denouncing the abuses of women and children; and advocating anti-slavery and equal pay for women.

While advocating and fighting for women’s right to vote, Susan and some of her fellow advocates broke the law and showed up to cast their votes. This amazing and courageous feat cost Susan dearly and she was tried and convicted for her actions. Despite the conviction, Susan pressed on and never quit the fight for women’s right to vote.

It is, in large part, due to Susan B. Anthony that today, not only can you and I vote, but we have the incredibly powerful opportunity to run for President of the United States of America.  Do you find yourself wondering if Susan ever believed that would be possible?

Lucretia Mott

In the early to mid-1800s Lucretia Mott was dedicated to ending slavery and was also advocating women’s rights. For all intents and purposes, she did not fall into the category of income-generating entrepreneur; however, I would venture to believe that she was a results-generating entrepreneur. Wikipedia defines an entrepreneur as a person who has possession over a company, enterprise, or venture, and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome…

Lucretia Mott was, indeed, the owner of her venture, (venture being defined as a “huge undertaking”) And, she assumed significant responsibility for her life and the lives of the runaway slaves she hid and housed until slavery was abolished. She did not participate in the making of money for profit; but, she most certainly participated in the saving of souls and in the regulation of women’s rights to speak, author, and sit in congressional seats.

Historically, Lucretia was one of the first women public speakers in America. She paved the way for many more women public speakers and educators of public speaking; which brings to…

TODAY’S FEATURED 2008 WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR

It is my pleasure to introduce you to an accomplished woman entrepreneur who teaches and inspires people…

Felicia J. Slattery

Blog

Communication Transformation

Credibility and Cash Flow

Felicia’s mission, as an entrepreneur, is to empower and inspire women to live their most fulfilled lives through effective communication. Doing what they want so they can have the freedom to run a business, be with their families and live their best, most authentic lives while being financially prosperous and creating all forms of wealth while living their dreams. It is her personal mission in life to make sure ALL people have the skills they need to communicate effectively.

As a woman, Felicia wants to raise her daughters to believe that what they want is possible and to show them by her life’s example that they can do what they want, succeed and be happy by serving others and being grateful for what they have. She, herself, is abundantly grateful.

On a Personal Note

I believe that Felicia’s mission as a woman is more important than any other mission she or I or you may have. I strongly believe that if we teach our daughters that they can be anything they want and teach them skills to increase their experiences and mannerisms to retain their femininity, they will blossom into beautiful women with no self-limiting belief systems and will be capable of reaching any target they aim for.

And One Final Word

Neither Felicia’s, nor my, nor your entrepreneurial missions and mindsets would be possible if women like Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony had not paved the path.

Wikipedia Definition of Entrepreneur
GreatWomen.org

Today we have, dare I guess, millions of women authors worldwide; we bless every occupation with our golden touch; we own, trade, and tax property and property owners; we govern the people; we run for president of the United States of America; we battle in war; we operate backhoes; we build parks; we build houses; and we build minds.  Where once we cried out to be equal to our men, now we cry no more.  For it is within each of us, at any time, to enable our dreams to become realities.  Today, we are the sum of all of the strengths of those heroic women who came before us… and yet, we are still mothers, we are still wives, and we are still pillars in our spiritual communities.

Today I want to honor some of my own friends who have earned their title of “Woman Entrepreneur“.

Please allow me to introduce you to

Heather Juma

Wealth Success and Women and Wealth and Success Lifestyle

Heather is the real thing!  She is an entrepreneurial woman who gives back to both her community and to her fellow rising entrepreneurs.  Heather’s motto is that she can have it all — power, style, celebration of life, femininity, and family.  Heather has been setting up and running businesses since she was a young girl.  She’s been driven to success from the beginning.  Perhaps one of Heather’s greatest gifts to the world, for which she will be remembered for all time, is the Wealth, Success and Women Ruby Red Slipper Foundation.  Because she believes that women should strive to become the greatness that lies within each and every woman, the foundation was created to provide counseling, coaching, and financial support for women attending college.  A portion of all annual profits goes to the foundation in addition to other fund raising efforts.   Heather, take a bow…

Allow me, now, to introduce you to

Clara Stokes

Clara fits the entrepreneurial profile in two ways.  First, remember when I spoke of women filling great positions in life today — where only men once d welled; well, Clara worked in an engineering department.  And, although many women are very capable and can get there, still many have not yet taken up those engineering positions.  Clara, herself, commented about how lonely it was there as women were a minority.  And today, Clara is an aspiring woman entrepreneur, taking on her dream of gaining freedom, success, ownership and leadership.  But is this just a dream?  I think not!  Clara is very vested in what she’s doing and success is looming just around the corner.  Take a bow Clara…

And, now, put your hands together for

Tina Williams

Get Beyond the Warm Market

I have some terrific things to say about her.  Tina is not just a woman entrepreneur.  She is taking on the MLM (Multi Level Marketing) arena!  I applaud her, as it is an area of internet marketing that takes a lot of guts and strength of character.  But I can tell you, she’s probably doing very well in her MLM business because she uses web 2.0 and relationship marketing to propel her success.  You see, in the old days, MLM was a profession where you had to chase down your leads and convince them why they should join your company.  With the development of web 2.0 (or relationship marketing or my story marketing), that is no longer the case.  The ability to attract people to you and for them to actually ask you what you do and how they can get involved - is POWER!  But, that’s not what blows me away about Tina.  Her motto is “Achieve your success by helping others achieve theirs.”  Based on my own relationship with Tina, I can tell you, she does indeed live by those words.  The greatest power is in GIVING your power away.  So, without further ado, Tina, please take a bow…

It is my pleasure to introduce you to a dynamite woman of the 21st century

And here is

Karen Kramer

The Freebee Queen

Karen is involved in Internet Marketing, is the Queen of Freebie Trading, and is a Single Mom.  I can tell you, from watching Karen work with the massive Thirty Day Challenge event, she is a giver and a teacher.  She is so active in her relationship building and marketing that I wonder how she keeps up with her own work.  :-)   Karen has taken her life challenges and turned them into creative marketing platforms and ingenious ways to find savings and get stuff for FREE.  So, you’ll want to keep your eye on her blog.  It does not discriminate!  There is free stuff there from all over the net - not just related to internet marketing.  Karen, please take a bow…

Please put your hands together for

Sandra Foyt

On Living By Learning

Sandra is a mom, a home school educator, a girl scout leader, a cub scout helper, a child advocate, a volunteer, an activist, and a writer.  She wants to inspire people to be life-long learners.  Isn’t Sandra the very picture of a woman entrepreneur who really has it all?  She clearly plays a strong role in her community and has a heart bigger than New York City.  She uses her intelligence to empower herself to be of the most use to people in life as she possibly can be.  And she is still a mother and a pillar.  Sandra, will you please take a bow…
