Twitter is all over the news & media outlets these days.

What have you heard about Twitter?

What have you heard with regards to how people are using Twitter; what are they saying online?

• “I’m going to Starbucks…”
• “I’m walking the dog…”
• “Think I’ll have a burger for dinner tonight…”

Those are the wrong type of posts for business networking.

That being said…

Twitter can be a mystery for business owners and business development professionals who want REAL RESULTS and don’t have time for useless, watercooler conversations.

If you’re interested in building your business and reputation on Twitter and want to do it the right way, with the least amount of time each day (yet get the most ROI for your time) this boot camp can help.

You will learn:

• How to set up your profile or overhaul it if you have one so you attract the right people
• How to avoid the “watercooler conversationalists” and connect with business-minded professionals
• How to develop a niche tribe of followers on Twitter (in your business market/industry)
• How to kick off your Twitter campaign and
  • Start conversations
  • Organically build a following on Twitter
  • Get people to notice you online and connect with you
• How to not only create a presence but build your network online and offline through Twitter
• And more!

This will be a very interactive seminar; no “pre-packaged” presentations, etc.  The information covered and questions answered will be determined by you as a participant.

We’ll have audi/visual also so we can all look at real time examples on Twitter and walk through things step by step.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

People on Twitter but wondering how to effectively use it and people who want to start using Twitter the right way.

WHO IS THIS NOT FOR?

Experienced and seasoned Twitter users.

INCLUDED: Each participant will receive a personal, 20-minute follow-up phone session to help with any questions you may have after you start using the strategies.

REGISTER HERE!

100% Money Back Guarantee

We promise you’ll learn new (actionable) Twitter strategies that you can start using the same day–NOT just the “10 mile high” general ideas.  If, at the end of the seminar, you don’t have 3 new strategies to use we’ll give your money back, no questions asked!

Presenter will be Mark J. Carter, Founder of TweetNetworking, LLC & ONE80, LLC: http://www.Twitter.com/mjcarter

***Limited to 6 People***

This event is limited to 6 people so you will get all of your questions answered.

There will be free wireless internet access; this way you can make changes to your Twitter profile (or set one up) and send Tweets during the boot camp (and follow people/have people start following you).

We had a great turnout of high-quality networkers interested in making valuable connections at AND after the event–so attendees had the opportunity to answer a few questions while networking–their answers are below.

If you were at the event: Here’s your chance to connect with people even if you didn’t have time to talk at length while you were there!

If you weren’t able to attend the event: Be sure to check out the information below; you can find new people to connect with based on what causes/non-profits they’re involved with, what professional and social media connections they’re looking for and the types of people they can best help!

Thank you to EVERYONE listed below for taking the time to connect in person and continue the connections afterwards; looking forward to more conversations and connections in Boston and online…

TweetNetworking was created to bridge the gap between the online world and offline business networking and social events.  This event is for both the Twitter “pro’s” and the people that want to learn more about Twitter and get started.

• A Facebook note
• A blog entry on TweetNetworking.com that we can all share on Twitter after the event

TweetNetworkers in attendance will also be able to post as a guest contributor to TweetNetworking.com’s blog.
