How to Use Twitter to Save Money and Get Great Coupons
First Step-Getting a twitter account started
If you haven’t heard about Twitter yet, WAKE UP. No, just kidding. It is an awesome and addicting way to keep up with your friends, make new ones and find information that you need quickly. I am going to teach you how to use twitter to save money and get some great coupons. Read this through once or twice before you click on the links and start tweeting.
The first thing you need to do is get a twitter account (http://www.twitter.com/). To sign up click on the Get Started button. Create your free account on the next page. Try to pick a user name that reflects you. Everyone will see this in your tweets. Next, you need to find people to ‘follow’. Hopefully after this you will choose to follow me so I will show you how. Visit my profile page on twitter (http://twitter.com/chaotic_barb). Under my avatar is a button to follow me. Click on that. Shortly after you will start to receive my tweets. Don’t worry, if I annoy you, you can unfollow me at anytime with no hard feelings! You can now go to your settings page and upload an avatar and change your design. Congrats on your twitter account! Now lets find you some friends.
There are two easy way to follow more people. First, I suggest that you follow Holly (http://twitter.com/Holly_GPB) as well. Next take a look at the awesome people who follow me or who I follow. You can add them to your follow list. I am not trying to pimp my friends list (lol, I always wanted to say that) but rather, most people in my little circle are fellow couponers so it is a good place for you to find like minded friends. The second way is to use the twitter search bar at the very top of your page. Type in ‘coupons’ and see who comes up. Add anyone that seems interesting. Remember, you can always unfollow at any time and most people never even notice if you try them out and leave. You can stop here or go on to the next step to get more out of your twitter experience.
