I don't see how I can make money using Twitter
Is this possible?
Specifically I need to target property owners in Waterloo, idealy limited to student housing, or larger residential buildings.
Something tells me this group might have limited involvement with twitter, and be hard to do something targetted to them through twitter that allows for new client acquisition.
Is it possible to get from here to there?
You can't make money using twitter. Then again, you can't make money directly from the guy you meet standing in line at Starbucks, but that's because you're selling a different product and looking at a different sales cycle.
You might be able to find people and be visible amongst your target market, but I didn't start this thread to target property owners. There are a lot of things you can do with twitter, but starting a social media strategy (focused around new client acquisition) which begins with a technology is one doomed to fail. I make part of my living doing social media strategy for very large clients and we never start with a technology.
For us as individuals, learning how to use Twitter is very valuable because it teaches us what's possible and what's new. It's also entertaining.
