Chris Brogan is a Social Media MUTANT! If you talk to anyone who has been online in the past year and ask them who are the top three most recognized names in social media, Chris would always be in the mix. There is no doubt that Chris knows his stuff. He wouldn’t be paid top dollar to speak at every major conference, or consult for major companies on the subject if he didn’t. In fact, his latest book Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust was just released for pre-order on Amazon. This book is bound to be a best seller, and if you read his blog, you know the value he provides is “A Game” material.
Make sure you watch the video in this post because Chris shares his thoughts on how someone SHOULD be using Twitter. There are those that just don’t understand it or don’t even know what it is yet. If this is the case with you, his witty words will surly make you chuckle, and give you the information you are looking for to create a successful plan on Twitter to dominate your market.
Twitter seems to be one of the beasts that everyone is talking about lately. Pro Athletes are using it to connect with hundreds of thousands of fans, celebrities are sharing revealing images and intimate information, and people are honestly building their business, finding jobs, and creating new opportunities from its platform.
To prove that it works, just last night I posted randomly to my Twitter followers this message:
“I have about 10 videos I need to upload on SportsNetworker.com but don’t know if I have time before my book tour… I need an intern badly!”
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen on the Internet crossed my Twitter stream as it it read:
To shorten the story, after a great chat we decided that the fit would be a good one for both of us, and the rest is history. So in a matter of a few hours I was able to voice my opinion, have it be heard and responded to, and achieve my goal of what I was looking for. Does Twitter work? I would have to say YES!!!
It could have taken weeks if not months to try and find the right person to be my assistant, and instead I weeded out those who would have wanted to send me a cover letter and resume from a job posting, and had the right person reach out to me and share interest because they thought it would be a great opportunity.

Does Twitter work? YES! Does it take time to undertand how to start a conversation and engage with your followers? YES! That’s why it would suit you well to pick up a copy of Chris’ new book, and watch his video interview above.
