This video will teach you everything you need to know about Twitter from signup, to tweeting pictures, to advanced third party apps,such as Tweetdeck and Hootsuite, as well as Twitiquette - or Twitter Etiquette. :)

This video is filled with insider baseball stuff, from how to block spammers, how to keep your account out of trouble by not exceeding Twitter limits, how to update your Facebook account through Twitter and unpublished tips for uploading your profile image.

I teach you how to choose the best image for your profile, and how to pre-schedule tweets if you are using it for business.

Twitter can be a powerful marketing tool, or a fun diversion - whatever you make it.

For example, the music in this video is an original composition by @dimbulb52 - who I met through Twitter - so make the most of it and who knows what you will find!
