Twitter is a great way to connect with people and share valuable information. Those who actively tweet have found great benefits, especially since you can do so through most mobile devices.Like anything, Twitter can either be a complete time waster or a very valuable tool. To make it the latter, I recommend that all minority entrepreneurs follow these top 10 accounts:
1) @BlackEnterprise - the official account for Black Enterprise Magazine; the largest publication for African American professionals and entrepreneurs.
2) @BizGrants - the official account for the National Institute of Business Grants, a leading resource for business funding opportunities.
3) @MBNUSA - the official account for Minority Business News USA (MBN USA), an award-winning magazine authority on supplier and workforce diversity.
4) @MiBizNet - the official account for the Minority Business Network, an organization that actively promotes the competitiveness and growth of businesses.
5) @NASEtweets - the official account for the National Association of the Self Employed (NASE), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that provides resources to entrepreneurs and micro-businesses.
6) @EntMagazine - the official account for Entrepreneur Magazine, the premier magazine of the small-business community.
7) @WSJ - the official account for Wall Street Journal, the world's leading resource for daily financial news and data.
8) @ExecTweets - an account powered by Microsoft that helps you find and follow the top business executives on Twitter.
9) @SmallBusinessAd - the official account for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), offering the latest news and tips to help your business succeed.
10) @SmallBusiness - the official account for SmallBusiness.com, an online resource for news and advice pertaining to small businesses.

ReplyDeleteThe Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary.
