Ian Hendry of wecando.biz answered a few questions about his use of Twitter for business. Thanks Ian for taking time out of your busy schedule!
How long have you been on Twitter?
About three months. I was previously very cynical but am gradually coming round to the possible business uses.
How many people do you follow?
35
How many people follow you?
37
What made you sign up to Twitter?
An interest in all things Web 2.0 and to see what from Twitter we could take and better implement for small business on WeCanDo.BIZ. We have used the principles behind it for our Biz Needs feature, which is one of the most popular and valued aspects of our site.
How often do you ‘Tweet’?
I personally add a message probably once a day. But I also use Twitterfeed to pass through the RSS feed of Biz Needs posted by members of our site through to my Twitter followers.
How has Twitter been benificial to your business?
It brings us welcome traffic and also helps promotes the most urgent business needs of our members. it has brought benefits, especially considering what our investment in Twitter is, but they are hard to measure.
If you had to recommend one person that business people should follow on Twitter, who would it be and why?
I would recommend anyone follow those of us who are posting business needs, as these are sales leads!
