As many of you know, I was quite slow to get on the Twitter train. Truly, the train had already left the yard and was well into its journey when I wanted to hijack a stage-coach, catch up to the train, and then hop on...this was kind of akin to a Family Guy episode since I have absolutely no idea how I was able to find a working stagecoach and then how I knew how to drive it? But I digress...

Anyway...just yesterday I studied about using Twitter Hashtags to make the keywords of your Tweets to be clear. There are a couple of benefits to using Twitter Hashtags as good I could find out:

1. To Get More Targeted Twitter Followers: Just like you and I (now!), individual want to follow and be followed by like-minded people. For network marketers, we need to be followed by others who are either already engrossed in network marketing or who are keen about getting involved. One of the excellent ways to gain followers is to follow...many people follow back. Thus, by following people who use network marketing linked keywords in their tweets, we may be sure that we are not being followed by the person who tweets "I'm so bored...just hanging out" and can stand an opportunity of reaching our target audience...Somebody who has a need or want for our product or business opportunity.

2. To Target Followers Who Are Interested In Your Product or Program: I feel everyone will agree that it's tough to read all of the tweets from the people you follow from your main Twitter page. I use SocialOomph to follow certain keywords that I'm interested in. I think that there are other services that do this for you also. If you recognize others, please let me know. Anyway, the Twitter Hashtag will make that keyword be conscious in the tweet and make it more conveniently found. When you come across someone who is tweeting your keyword, that is a best person to follow...they share an interest.

To identify your keyword in Twitter using Hashtags, you only type # before the word. For illustration: "I am writing a blog post at present on how to use #Hashtags with Twitter". Hashtags is my keyword and the pound symbol identifies it as such.

I know the mega-Twitter Tweeters already know about using Twitter Hashtags, but I even know that I wasn't the merely person to just learn regarding them! If this article may help a few use Twitter more effectively and begin generating leads to your business, I'm glad!
