Then you’ve most likely been keeping up with Twitter’s shift from a completely free platform to one that will bring in some advertising revenue from its millions (and quickly growing) of users. The lastest is that you can now pay to promote yourself on the trends list that appears on your Twitter home page. But is a paid trend really a trend?
Find out in Kit Eaton’s article on FastCompany.com:
Whether you’re a new network marketer or have been in the industry for a while, I bet you’ve checked out many a network marketing tool to grow your business.
You want something that you can trust and depend on to work for you consistently and give you 100% . . .and of course, something that doesn’t cost you a fortune.

Because this “secret” tool just happens to be Y-O-U. . . that’s right, yourself.
Are you confused? Don’t worry. . .I’ll explain. . .
Let’s first back up a bit and discusss what tools you DON”T want to use in your Network Marketing. Do not try to promote your network marketing company with the tools that the company itself offers you: the fliers, the posters, DVDs and no, not even the website. You can show these to your prospects later on but here is the golden rule that you want to keep in mind.
The people that you are trying to recruit into your company (your potential future downline) do not care about the business that you are involved in. You might not believe that but trust me. . .they don’t.
It doesn’t matter how great you think the business is . .your potential downline does not care. So what DO they do care about? They care if YOU can show them how to be successful with this network marketing business. They care if YOU will be there to answer their questions and to support them. They care that YOU are excited about the business. In this exploding world of online network marketing, where it’s hard to find a person through all the hype and offers, your potential team members as well as your future customers are looking for someone that they can trust and count on. Someone who will lead them in the right direction. And above all, someone who is real.
They too are seeking that guaranteed-to-grow-your-business network marketing tool. So go out there and introduce yourself. Let everyone know that you’re here and you’re going to dedicate yourself to their success.
Here are just a few places you can go – these ar all quick and painless and they are all free. I will be updating this article continuously. . .
1) Set up a Facebook account. Let people know about your status. Make it interesting with comments like “Just helped someone get their first lead! I love my business!”
2) Register on Twitter and update your “tweets”. This is similar to what you do on Facebook. . .but do it in 140 characters or less. Again, make it interesting and make it personal and don’t be promotional. . .the name of the game is “offer value” and allow people to see what you are all about.
3) Set up and account at Squidoo.com. Include your picture and a small bio about yourself. Fill in whatever else you can. Write an article about yourself. It can be about how you help people succeed in network marketing. Or. . .it doesn’t have to be. Just write about something that you know bout and can help someone understand.
Make comments on other people’s hubpages. they will see your comments and take a look at your hub. This is how you start introducing yourself.
Realize that you yourself are the best network marketing tool and capitalize on that! More to come. . .
