Tweeting for dollars
One question that many of our clients have is, “how do I make social networking work for my e-commerce business?” Business owners know that there is value to be gained, but many just aren’t sure how to cultivate it.
Or, they are active on Facebook but haven’t figured out how to monetize their Twitter profile. Luckily I just came across this post from the Get Elastic blog that profiles 17 different kinds of Twitter posts for e-retailers and even gives examples for each type.
