Are You on “Twitter?”

Making sense of social media is one of the biggest challenges facing entrepreneurs in this current market.

Young kids are growing up in a digital world. They’ve been online since before they could read. As a result, many of the social media experts are young guys and gals under 30. Of course, this isn’t the rule, as there are many very successful social entrepreneurs of ages.

What exactly is a social entrepreneur?

Social media is a new name for an old concept. Do you respond to letters from your customers? Do you take or make calls to expand your business network? If you do, you’re already a social entrepreneur, in an “offline” way at least.

Social entrepreneurs use online tools like “Facebook,” “MySpace,” “LinkedIn” and “Twitter” to grow an online business that involves as much communicating with customers as it does actually selling products or services.

Social media is always live. A Facebook account doesn’t close up for the evening. These social sites are like having a storefront open 24-7 and allow unlimited access to pretty much anyone.

Now, this is different from having your own web site. A web site is a great contact point for potential and current customers.

But, with social media sites, you get built-in tools for connecting to and finding potential customers at a much faster rate. You can “friend” or “follow” just about anyone from celebrities to the guy who served your morning coffee.

With such a powerful tool, why then don’t we read about new millionaires being created by social media by the hour?

The truth is that there is still no surefire way to use social media to make money. It’s an experiment being conducted by literally millions of people every second of the day. There is a short learning curve for getting started, but carrying that momentum and using it to cash in is where the real challenge is.

While you try to make sense of how social media could work for you and your business, take a quick look at the e-Wealth Daily Twitter account. We’ll be posting links to our most helpful articles and other excellent resources from time to time.
