Social Media Buzz: How to Stand Out and Become a Twitter Influencer

The word influencer in the social media world goes with words like expert, credible, authoritative, with publishing power and thought leadership.   Every time they post something, it surely becomes a hit and, of course, reaches the intended target audience.

If top Twitter influencers experience lots of retweets of their posted tweets, then one might possibly conclude that in order to stand out and become a Twitter influencer, you have to tweet what are basically “retweetable” tweets…..right ?

As a start-up, one of your goals should be to become an influencer in your own market or industry.   It’s a good thing social media has enabled aspiring start-ups to reach outside of their intended niche markets.   Try to open up some awesome opportunities where you can work on growing your reputation and expertise.

Twitter is a great way to start.
