I agree.. My freelance writing business is still young [a month old now if that's still considered young :)] so - so far Twitter has mainly been a source of information for me. So let's see how I work it for my business now... Also think you're right on the 'Define your own rules for success' going further than Twitter -think it's a policy that should make people happier with who they are what they achieve. take care B hi Maggie…

You raise an interesting point because I'm not sure how people track back their business to Twitter... can you shed some light for those of us who are less knowing... is plainly asking people how they found you? Thanks B Nikki thanks for your comment.

Like everything else, I think it's easier to be yourself and do what feels right for you, whether that's keeping up a constant supply of tweets, or only when you feel you've got something to say. I have got work out of having a Twitter presence and I do know that being on Twitter is driving people to my website. However, I think for me the most useful aspect of it is the ability to ask for and receive recommendations and feedback on a multitude of subjects, from ethical banks to hotels in Amsterdam to whether there are any delays on the roads I'm about to drive on!

I don't agree witht he 'follow everyone who follows you' brigade, and I don't automate a lot of my tweets, but I can see how these strategies work for others. To me, the return on investment on Twitter comes from the business I can track back to there - when I can't track business back to Twitter then I'll stop using it :) Twitter can be different things to different people – the great thing about it is that there are no right and wrong ways, generally.
