How to: Market on Twitter

I found an article on Social Media Explorer regarding how exactly to market on Twitter. Twitter is such a great social media site because it allows normal people to communicate with other normal people and celebrities alike. I personally find Twitter to be a unique outlet to voice opinions and to catch a quick laugh since in my circle of friends, not many people have accounts.

With that said, I came across this article Four Styles of Marketing on Twitter. The styles are as follows:
  • the conversationalist
    • day to day conversation
    • used by small business consultants
  • the conversational marketer
    • posting more directly about other websites and personal pages
  • the sales person
    • zero conversation
  • the marketer
    • zero conversation, just facts
If you are familiar with Twitter and follow different types of people, every account user can be identified into these four types of marketers. Do you think that there is another type of marketer to be included in this list?
