Why Your Twitter Marketing Sucks (But Doesn’t Have To) - How Small Businesses Royally Screw Up (Again and Again) Their Twitter Marketing Strategy
Twitter marketing involves more than retweeting what the Kardashian sisters ate for lunch. In this article, Michael Rogan, author of “Twitter Marketing That Doesn’t Suck” shares how businesses can come up with an effective Twitter marketing strategy.
Twitter marketing is the Matthew McConaughey of small business, according to Michael Rogan of Punk Rock Marketing.
“They’re both kinda misunderstood. And have a reputation for being shallow and speaking in short, abbreviated sentences.”
“But both have some serious substance underneath. You just gotta know how to find it beneath the rock-hard abs and tanning lotion.”

And though Twitter has its fair share of "bongo playing at midnight" moments -- thank you, Kanye West and Lindsay Lohan -- the social media tool with the 140 character limit is actually the perfect tool to help small businesses get more exposure, sell more stuff, and compete with the big boys.
"Most people don’t know what the hell they’re doing on Twitter" said Rogan. “They either sell their crap all day long or they just tweet out links. People don’t want information, they want attitude. If you can show you’re an actual human being, you’ll stand out (and crush your competition).”
