Are you on Twitter? What kinds of topics do you follow?
Or do you only follow people?
As you know, I have been Tweeting as of late … but I have NOT been using Twitter to market what I sell. Are you interested in knowing my results?
First, let’s talk about a fellow wrist locker: I thought another wrist-locks expert was in complete juxtaposition with my “no-promotion-on-twitter” point of view. Whereas I have not sent people directly to sell pages, and preferred to educate with wrist-locks articles, I thought this master was pushing his wrist-locks DVDs on a DAILY basis.

Alain Burrese.
But guess what! He isn’t pitching his video daily at all. Let me explain …
Every day, I saw a Tweet pointing to Alain Burrese’s DVD, Lock On: Joint Locking Essentials Volume 1: Wrist Locks
Well, recently, I had my birthday, and surprise of surprises … Alain emailed me with birthday wishes. So, I asked him if his Twitter.com efforts were successful.
His response?
He had no idea what I was talking about. It must be an Amazon affiliate promoting his product.
It’s a good thing he’s in the dark, because I can’t imagine that that the affiliate’s selling a lot from that link.

I’d like to make it easier for you to find information. So far, I have been using Twitter for the following:
• To help you find martial arts information
• To retweet interesting tidbits. Call it life-enrichment.
• Actual communication
• Updates about what’s going on with me … NOT what I am having for breakfast, but rather new book, site, and video projects.

It really is too early to tell, but I am enjoying the process.
A few people have clicked over to my articles on wrist locks and practical martial arts; in that sense, I am happy to be able to help.
Now, the question is … should I Tweet a link to THIS wrist locks article? 😉
