Tweetmentor praise – indulge me

We launched Tweetmentor earlier this year in order to help small (and large as it happens!) businesses to make the most of Twitter, gain leads from it and ultimately make money.

You can read about how I chose to market Tweetmentor to see that we didn’t do things the ‘expected’ way. :)

It’s always nice to read Tweets from people enjoying Tweetmentor, and to see people recommending it to others, but even nicer are the emails I get at times.

I asked some of the first intake of Tweetmentor signups to let me know what benefits they got from Tweetmentor, and have posted some of the responses in this post.

Tweetmentor has been fantastic for me in many ways:
  • It has shown me ways to improve my profile, my Tweets and who I follow / followers.
  • it has shown me what I should /should not be doing on Twitter
  • it has helped me develop a Twitter routine
  • it has shown me add-ons and sites that maybe I would never have discovered.
  • it has shown me how to use RT/FF/# etc
  • it has helped me with my blog
  • it has helped me …. and so much more!
I cannot speak highly enough or thank you enough for all you have done/do!
You might be wondering why I’m bothering with this self promoting post – should I feel guilty? This blog gets hundreds of visitors a day, and many of them find the help and advice they need when using Twitter – to my mind this post gives them an extra bit of help – Tweetmentor. OK, it’s not free, like the rest of the site, but you can pay as much as you want for it, so it could cost around a fiver!
The tweetmentor emails continually give me new ideas of how to use twitter and the applications available.  My preconceptions are challenged and it makes me think about how best to use twitter for my business.  My followers have increased dramatically and I expect to gain business in the future directly from twitter by using Nikki’s tips.
The great thing about promoting and running Tweetmentor is that I’ve been learning too – I’ve found out more about what businesses need and want from Twitter, seen some of the mistaes that are made, and realised that not everyone understands and sees Twitter in the same way.
Every day I get questions from subscribers that mean I have to go out and find out more – so it’s helping me too!
I’ve also seen that as well as bringing in business and leads, Twitter has helped people to find suppliers too.
For many small businesses Twitter  has 3 possible outcomes
1.You give up on it almost immediately as only for geeks and kids

2.You waste hours on it in a totally unstructured way, deluding yourself that you are being productive

3. You successfully  manage the various applications in a timely fashion and build a real network of useful contacts and resources

Tweetmentor has ensured the 3rd outcome. It has built up into a reference source that I am able to return to regularly. It has added a discipline to the process of tweeting and has allowed me to build up a meaningful network of people that I wouldn’t have thought possible, at virtually zero cost. It has also allowed me to gain additional tips and advice at a fraction of the open market costs from telephone marketing to Press releases

So, if you’re floundering on Twitter, and not sure whether you’re making the most of your time, why not consider spending a few quid and learning from a Tweetmentor ;)

As a complete newbie to Twitter I did not understand what it was all about and how it could help promote Virtual Sales Limited. The TweetMentor course has been invaluable in explaining what to do in very simple terms how to get started and to get the most from Twitter. I have found Nikki’s course to be an invaluable source of information and recommendations that would otherwise be difficult to grasp. I have and will continue to recommend her course to anyone looking to use Twitter to promote their business.
