My Twitter Experiment

No, Twitter is not really strictly intranet related. But everyone is doing it right?

I have been seeing all kinds of websites talking about how to increase your business through Twitter. Some even suggesting you can get 17,000 followers in a month! So I just had to try it for my little handcrafted pen business I do on the side, The Norsk Woodshop (http://www.NorskWoodshop.com).

A lot of these methods say to follow as many people as you possibly can or at least as many as you can find that are somewhere in your target (buyers or co-artists in my case). So that's what I did. Last night, I started a dedicated Twitter account for The Norsk Woodshop. And started following my guts out. I have found 171 people to follow so far using a really neat tool http://twitseeker.com that you can search for terms and then automatically follow those people.

Out of the 171 I have followed, I so far have 6 followers. Not 17,000, but it is a start, especially considering it took me months to get that many for my personal Twitter account (I guess I am just not that interesting).

I will keep at it for at least a month and report back my progress!
