One of the top questions I get from nonprofit leaders is, "Why Tweet?" The number one reason why is because it's "easy". Let me explain.

Tweeting for me is super easy. I spend no more than 10 minutes per day if there is someone or some event that I'm following. Most of the time, it's much less than 10 minutes. 

For many non-profit and for-profit leaders I work with, they don't even have 10 minutes. For you folks, I highly recommend 10 minutes every Tuesday. Call it your Twitter Tuesday. 

Here are 4 things you can do on your first Twitter Tuesday in 10 minutes or less:

1. Follow somebody you like that has a lot more followers than you. You can learn a lot just by watching him or her. For example, I follow Warren Whitlock, author of The Twitter Revolution and Profitable Social Media. You can follow me (Phil Johncock), too!
2. Retweet a message from the person you just followed.
3. Follow a client or colleague. For example, I follow the Alliance for Nevada Nonprofits.
4. Retweet a message from the client or colleague you just followed.

10 minutes is easy. Anybody can spare 10 minutes to learn something fun. Make sure to sign up to get updates from Twitter Tuesday by email. Enter your name and email in the right sidebar. Then, click submit. It's that EASY!

Today, I got an email from a friend who wants to create a business online. He asked me what class I recommended for him to learn how to design a website for his online business.

I recommend that you learn WordPress if you want to design your own site. It’s easy to use, but powerful enough to handle a business and making money online.  Here were the recommendations I made to him …

1. CLASS - I recommend the Website Creation Workshop with Christina Hills to learn WordPress … http://budurl.com/WebCreation. Christina is a world-class teacher of WordPress. She helps many pro’s create their sites.
2. HOSTING SERVICE – I recommend Blue Host for hosting your site … http://budURL.com/EasyWebHosting. Best rates and 24/7 customer support in the business. It supports WordPress, you can add new domain names for $10/year … plus I use it for my ticket system (needed for a business).
3. THEME – For your WordPress theme, I recommend Thesis … http://budurl.com/ThesisWPTheme.
4. SHOPPING CART – When you’re ready to sell something online, I recommend 1ShoppingCart … http://budURL.com/1ShoppingCart. You don’t need this initially, but eventually you will.
5. MEMBERSHIP SITE – If you plan to protect the content on your site and create recurring revenue streams with WordPress, I recommend Wish List Member … http://budurl.com/WishListMember

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. There are a lot of scams out there that promise a lot … but don’t deliver … after you’ve put out a big chunk of change. Feel free to run stuff by me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or email.

As a teacher OR student, how can you use Twitter to enhance your learning?

Last Wednesday evening, I was honored to be asked to say a few words on James Rivers’ Blog Talk Radio show. The focus on the show is James’ brand-new Twitter Power System.
