Twitter and other social media sites are easy to get addicted to; just ask entrepreneur Angie Shafranek.
“Ha, I’m on it like five times a day,” Shafranek admitted when asked how often she uses Twitter.
However, that Twitter habit has given a boost to her online children’s clothing business, Shafranek said.
She went from four people following her “tweets” to nearly 1,000 in no time, and since then, more and more people go to her Web site to check out what she’s selling.
“It’s growing my business, and that’s a big thing,” Shafranek said. “Twitter is the water cooler for the 21st century.”
People go there to talk about anything, and savvy businesses owners can take advantage.
