Do you Tweet? If you are on twitter.com and have followers you may want to think about creating a "Thank you for the follow" video via YouTube.

Its actually rather simple. You record a video of yourself thanking your follower for following you on twitter then tell them a bit about yourself and your company or the services you provide. Post this message to YouTube, then when you get a new follower send them a message with the link to your video. You can check out my video below for an example:

This is truly great way to welcome your followers to your twitter world. People really seem to appriciate it when I send mine out! I hope you found this information helpful. If you would like more information or have questions please feel free to email me at knoble@campbellhomes.com or leave a comment below. Also if you would like to know more about the company I work for, Campbell Homes, please feel free to check us out online at www.campbellhomes.com.

Liz- You don't have to send it to the marketers if you don't want to. just send it to those you want to send it to.

Mike- Thanks! That means a lot coming from you!

Montana Country Real Estate - I have had several people send me responses. It is all positive.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Thanks for the idea. We harp on our clients knowing who they are working with so this is a great addition to our page.

Nice Post! I also heard that if you have a video on youtube, you're more likely to get bumped up in a Google search. dar

Learn to leverage technology to get more done.

Kelly, I like this idea - I think it's a lot better than the direct messages I get from people saying "buy something from me." Good luck with it!

Peter & Dar - Thanks for the positive comments.

Jackie- I agree with you! I can't stand when people are trying to sell me something right away and they havn't even taken the time to get to know me.
