<p>Life is full of finding the right balance.  Too much work and not enough play makes Jack a dull boy.  In general, too much of anything is a bad thing.  The same philosophy applies to Twitter as well.  When you tweet make sure you are not always talking about your business and promoting your business. When you do not mix it up, people will leave.  They do not want advertising shoved down their face all the time. Watch to get some more pointers on achieving this balance.</p>

<p>Oprah is now on Twitter!! Are you on Twitter?  Why should you be on Twitter?  Why should you even think about promoting your business on Twitter?  These are all questions you need to answer. After you answer those questions here are a couple more.</p>
<p>Why do you think Ophrah is really on Twitter?</p>
<p>Just think about how many people you can reach with one Tweet that consists of 140 characters or less?</p>
<p>How much does your advertising then cost you?</p>
<p>This week I talk all about the importance of Twitter and how you should be using Twitter. </p>
