Twitter

I have been trying to grow my lampwork bead business so in February I decided to do my Bead giveaway.    I signed up several months ago for a Twitter account.  I looked around, sent a couple tweets and then was done with it.  I thought, this is not for me, I don't get it, etc.   But how was I going to get the word out about my giveaway?  So..... I tried Twitter again.  Well it has been about a month now and I am so happy I gave it another chance!  I have meet such wonderful, talented, nice people.  Most are so helpful and generous with their support and knowledge.  I was able to give 12 people some of my beads and many have send me pictures of their wonderful creations using my beads.  I could not have been happier and will do it again!

I am selling my beads on Etsy and have found a great community of artisans that use Twitter also.  called World Wide Etsy Sellers.  Please visit http://www.worldwideetsysellers.blogspot.com/ to see about this group of artists!

Now I am getting traffic to my Facebook Fan Page also!  More to come on that. 

I am so thankful for having the opportunity to associate with a group of like minded people who are up beat, funny, supportive, creative and above all talented.  So if anyone out there is not on Twitter, I strongly suggest you try it.  It isn't for everyone but it definitely for me.

Thanks to all of you out there in Twitterland!
