Twitter, MySpace, Yuwie and Facebook are all social networks.

Twitter is becoming especially popular today because of it's real-time capability.

With Twitter you can gain a following of people who will search on your key word.

The best thing to do when you get a twitter account, is to announce yourself. Say something like: Just joined twitter and i love internet marketing. Here's a neat opportunity I found.

Someone is going to eventually show p and follow you because they saw the term "internet marketing". Check out their profile, perhaps they have some a lot of fans that could be potential fans of yours. So follow this person. Then you can post some interesting useful on his message thing. Complement him.

By doing this you build a relation ship and then may be ten posts down the road, you announce a product that might be useful.

What a lot of people do is they end up spamming right away, and that can be annoying.

I dont' think you can put an add on Twitter. What you should do is do a search for the types of companies you are trying to sell to, then "follow them" Some of them will end up "following you" meaning they will see your micro posts (140 or less characters). You can put links to you website on these posts to hopefully get them to buy something. The rule of thumb is to post something non-salesy but valueable 9 times out of 10.

You can't place an ad on Twitter, but you can put an affiliate link or any other link for that matter in each of your tweets. Just make sure you include the http:// before the url.
