I am days away from launching/taking over a golf related business and while I have been an avid Twitter user/follower for nearly six months now, I have yet to use it/view it through the eyes of a business as I have not been involved in a business endeavor during that time. It is not as simple and clear as one might think to discern how one goes about utilizing Twitter and other social media forums for business. IT IS CLEAR how one SHOULD NOT use it and that it to simply SHOUT CONSTANTLY at potential customers. As the adage states "Nobody cares how much you KNOW until they know how much you CARE." Being a "casual but avid" user/follower of Twitter, that has been easy to figure out. So while learning what NOT to do has been clear, learning WHAT TO DO is not as simple. This post helps tremendously with beginning to answer that question. Any business endeavor, or any meaningful endeavor for that matter, is a constant and evolving learning curve but any worthwhile effort requires one to first determine who you are and where you are and who and where you want to be. Thanks for your insight into launching that inner dialog! Scot,
