I get asked no less than 5x per week by politicos, “I mean come on who really has time for Twitter?” Usually that’s followed by, “I just have daughter do it for me.” Yes you do…yes…you do.

Twitter is an engagement and awareness tool. Sure you’ll have a percentage of tweets that are informative (links and event announcements) but this is usually where it stops for most.

Take it a step further. Ask questions. Provide answers. Find supporters and build a hyper local twitter following so you have a concentrated and high-power audience that markets your message for you.
