Twitter: A Marketer’s Dream Come True

by PD McCloud

Over the past several years, we’ve seen dot.com’s come and go. We’ve watched dot.com moguls go from rags to riches, and back to rags again. So what makes Twitter.com so different? Or, could it be that it’s future is not as bright as most think it is? Of course, if I was any good at fortune telling, I’d be able to answer that. I’m not, and I won’t try. I do know this for a fact though – Twitter.com has provided the network marketer with a seemingly endless source of customers. Hence, a marketer’s dream come true.

What a marketer does with his/her twitter.com account is altogether different from the normal method of internet marketing. Instead of flooding email boxes with ads, the typical twitter client can expect to see a myriad of ads when they log on to their account. What seperates the good marketer from the spamming marketer? A good marketer will know what to advertise. Know the users that are seeing the ads. Will distribute the ads evenly. A spammer? Well, the ads are not targeted, they are more or less grabbed from thin air and shoved in front as many people as they can get the ad in front of. All the while, having no clue as to what it is they are actually selling, nor to whom they are trying to sell it too. Shotgunning is what I call it. If you throw enough pellets out of the barrel of a gun, one of them is bound to hit something. The spammer’s mentality.

For those who are seriously interested in Social Marketing, Twitter.com provides a perfect place to either begin or continue your marketing efforts. There are approximately 12 million people from around the world who log into thier twitter account each week. People from all walks of life, from the teenager board with doing their homework to the celebrity’s updating their fans. Each and everyone of these are potential customers. Customers you may not have found anywhere else. In a sense, you could say that 12 million people walk into your store ever single week. I think only Walmart could make that claim, on a global basis of course.

One of the most important things you’ll need to do is build up your followers. In twitter world, these are people who follow your tweets, or messages. Getting to know thousands of people in a relatively short time span is rather difficult but there are programs that help in that regard. The best program I have found for building one’s list of followers is Tweet Tank. With this program you not only get the software needed to generate hundreds, or thousands of followers, you get specific instructions on how to use it effectively and without triggering the alarms at twitter.com signaling suspicious activity. That will get your account suspended, halting your efforts. But Tweet Tank will show you through video how to use their tool to benefit you to the max.

Another really super program is a must for anyone who wants to be a Twitter marketer. SocialOomph.com is your management source. With SocialOomph, you can schedule your ads so that they go out at specific times. Of course, you can’t be online 24/7 (you have to sleep sometime). This is where SocialOomph comes in as a necessity. You can configure your ad(s) to go out automatically. Set it and forget it. This tool is invaluable to the social network marketer.

I use both of these tools extensively. One other tool I use very often is free. A group of network marketing guru’s got together and put their two-cents into a program that is free to use, for as long as you want. In fact, I highly recommend this one because of the invaluable information you are going to get. And, you have a chance to make some real serious money with this website and it’s offerings. I won’t let the cat out of the bag though. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to find it useful, refreshing and very rewarding! I’ll just call it my special weapon. It will not only build your knowledge of internet marketing, it has the potential to provide some very nice monetary rewards of you just follow directions. Can you follow directions? If so, then click here, My Special Weapon.

Until the next edition, happy twittering and may the gods look favorably on your social network marketing efforts. By the way, don’t forget to add me to your list of followers. PD McCloud

Is Twitter for Students? Twitter could actually benefit a student in many ways, but before go into that- what is Twitter? Wikipedia describes it as a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. These tweets are 140-character limit messages which is so since Twitter’s messaging system was initially set for compatibility with SMS.

Twitter is definitely a useful tool for communicating since you do not have to worry about what you write. As a student, you could use Twitter to your advantage by relating to others your views on a certain subject and you can even put some links in your posts so that you could share more about the topic. If you have followers who happen to be your classmates and maybe some of your professors too, then they might find what you have to say interesting—that would be a good way to start a productive discussion. Another great thing about Twitter is that it allows you to easily update your ‘followers’ with just a simple SMS text message that you could send even during class! Not only will you be able to send tweets through your cell phone, you’re also able to receive tweets too. With the power of SMS in your hands, you wouldn’t need to use your home PC or your dad’s laptop to log on to your Twitter account!

Tweet with your iPhone

If you happen to have an iPhone, there are a lot of Twitter clients available to you, one of which is Tweetie. With Tweetie, you can manage multiple Twitter accounts, view Twitter trends and do custom searches, access complete user profiles, and manage multiple Twitter accounts. Isn’t it great? It suits a student’s Twitter needs.

More About Twitter for Students

How else is Twitter for Students? Have you ever thought that Twitter could help you improve on your writing skills? Well, it’s not exactly a proven fact but if you want to know how Twitter teaches students to write, then that would be a good chance for you to learn more about how you could use Twitter to your advantage. There many ways in which we could make use of Twitter to have it actually be beneficial to us. Even though Twitter isn’t exactly a teaching tool, it will not hinder anyone from learning a thing or two just by tweeting. One way you could learn on Twitter is by following people who you think you could learn much from and tweet topics that you want to know more about, and if you’re lucky, people might Retweet you (a Twitter feature that makes you “bookmark” tweets) so that more people will be interested in what you have to say or what you want to know about. You could make your Twitter better or more your style by checking out the many applications built just for Twitter.

I hope you found this Twitter for Students article helpful!

In such a quick period of time, Twitter has emerged as highly popular digital service that is full of wonderful potentials.  Presidential candidates use Twitter to coordinate their nationwide campaigns, for example.  Rival sports superstars use it to publicize each other’s dirt.  Emergency response units accept tweets as legitimate calls for help.  Airplane crashes are first reported through this micro-blogging platform.  And Perez Hilton uses Twitter every time a celebrity actually decides to punch him on the face.

Twitter has become an ubiquitous web service that has transcended the internet.  Everyone seems to be using Twitter, and your online business can capitalize on this fact.

Basically, if you’re into internet marketing and you’re not using Twitter, then you’re missing out on some major benefits that can increase the profitability of your business.

But for Twitter to work for your enterprise, you will need 2 things: 1) thousands upon thousands of followers; and 2) a commitment to tweet regularly.

The first can be solved via automated Twitter software programs, and there are a lot of them these days.

The second can be remedied by digging deep inside you to actually dedicate yourself to posting several 140-character messages per day…… or by using your Wordpress blog.

By using a Wordpress plugin wittily named Tweet My Blog, Wordpress will automatically post a tweet whenever you post a new blog entry.  This tweet is user-defined.  You can invite your followers to check out your blog.  You can try the mysterious approach of promising a surprise for them if they’d click on the link to your newest blog entry.  Or you can simply give them a heads up, like a buddy would, and wait for them to visit your blogs, again, like a buddy would.

Tweet My Blog is a wonderful piece of Wordpress plugin that many bloggers-cum-tweeters have hailed as the best add-on that has been introduced to the community since Twitter was invented.  If you’re a Wordpress blogger and you own a Twitter account, then it will be a grave sin if you won’t use Tweet My Blog.  If you’re an online marketer, then it would be a graver sin if you don’t have a Wordpress blog and/or you don’t own a Twitter account.

Installing the Tweet My Blog Wordpress plugin is very, very easy.  Just like other plugins, simply unzip the contents thereof to your wp-content/plugins folder.  Thereafter, go to your admin interface and to your plugins menu and install the Tweet My Blog.  And you’re all set to go.

Initial configuration is just as easy.  The Wordpress plugin will ask for your Twitter details, i.e. username and password, so that it can automate the process.

Tweet My Blog Wordpress plugin is a great way to maximize your efforts and save you a lot of time you’d otherwise spend on blogging and tweeting.  Tweet My Blog is an excellent way to harness your followers and transform them into cascading traffic to your blog each and every time you post a new entry.

Perhaps you have noticed how Twitter recently gained influence to a lot of online people. Actually, it isn’t only Twitter which is getting too popular. Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn are achieving fame, too. You will hear about these online craze wherever you go. This makes other people curious. What is with these websites that makes everyone so into it? If you don’t have a Twitter account yet, why don’t you create one? You will then understand why your friends are so fascinated by it. The Social Media Marketing is so evolved now. There are several brilliant updates made that are more beneficial to its users. There are websites even made available for both recreation and business.

Take for example Twitter. It may appear boring to other people. But if you try to understand its real essence, you will appreciate how it works. In Twitter, there are terms coined to make the experience more unique and interesting. These terms are tweet, retweet and hashtags. There are actually hundreds of terms created already and new ones are still coming in. Through Twitter, people can get in touch 24×7. This facilitates exchange of ideas or information faster.    

A person is called a tweeter because of giving personal updates to his Twitter account. Right now, there are more than 14,000,000 Twitter users in the US alone. There are also millions of members from other countries. It is a great tool to share information inexpensively to other people. In order to make your followers keep their interest in you, you have to constantly give them something interesting regarding your activities. These updates are called tweets. It is called twittering whenever you post updates on Twitter. Tweets only have 140 characters or less. Whenever you tweet, you have to maximize the 140 characters allotted. So you have to perfect how to deliver your lines precise and interesting. 

If you haven’t had a Twitter account before or you are planning to create one, there are other important terms you should remember. A retweet is done when you tweet again the same quote or line of your fellow tweeter. When you retweet, you put an @ sign before the name of the person from whom you derived the tweet from. Some people use R/T or just RT before a person’s name to indicate retweeting. Retweeting is viewed as a respect to your co-tweeter. It will make them feel that their tweet is worth to be shared with others. Usually, tweeters are grateful whenever their tweets are being retweeted.

Hashtags are also significant for tweeters (e.g. #hashtag). Tweets can only be viewed by your own set of followers. If you do hashtag, you are making it possible for other people to view your tweets even though they aren’t your followers. This can help increase your followers. So, can you now understand how twittering can do well for your online advertisement? Surely, this is an important addition to your SEO strategy.

Most of know by now that Twitter is the flavour of the year, and a lot of you will be starting to use Twitter for the very first time, and using it correctly to build your following, to get your followers to go where you want them to and to get buy in from them is not easy,even though there’s lot of people using the micro blogging service, you still need to have a plan to get the most out of the site. For those of you who have been using Twitter for awhile, this article will also help you get more response for all your efforts.

To be successful using Twitter you need to offer value to those following you, and you need to create what I call the “Trusted Adviser” role for yourself, once you have created this role and others see your expertise on a subject, they will follow you to get information and advice, but first you need to work very hard to create this persona.

Creating your Tweet plan and then following the strategy you have set up for yourself, will help you keep you focused. Just posting tweets about your product or listing is not engaging your followers nor is it creating value, it is just plain boring.

Setting out to become a trusted adviser means you need to listen,respond, broadcast and build your community, that’s what your followers are, your community, and you need to offer value in what you do to get engagement from them.

Creating a topic list is a good place to start, define your area of expertise and start to build that trust.

Some of the topics you could include if you are just starting out would be:

1. Your Expertise

2. What are your passions

3. Stats in your market – Good for those in real estate

4. Share your interests

5. Tweet what you are doing

6. Updates on your listings – real estate again

7. Share links and helpful information

So now you’ve worked on your list of topics, it’s time to create your tweet plan:

1. Make a list of topics

2. Identify your resources – sites to turn to, to get information

3. Schedule drips – spread your tweets out throughout the day

4. Be spontaneous

5. Follow other twitters of like minded interests and retweet information

Once you have your tweet plan worked out, you then need to set up your Twitter profile:

1. Create your Twitter background and personalise your profile

2. Complete your profile – serious followers always check out your profile before a follow.

3. Use monitoring and measuring tools to check your tweets – Use URL shorteners such as Bit.ly/Cli.gs/Hootsuite

4. Add video to your tweets by using Bubbletweet.com

5. Use Tweetlater.com to add an auto welcome  message for new followers

I hope that you find the above information helpful, particularly if you are just starting out with Twitter, and by using the tools I’ve suggested, it will give you the basics to start building your following and help you create the trusted adviser role.

Some helpful Twitter tools you can use to start building your Tweet plan:

1. Tweetdeck.com

2. Topify.com – Uses email notification for new followers

3. Hootsuite.com

4. Tweetlater.com

5. Tweetmeme.com – Search and retweet the hottest stories on Twitter.

Good luck if you are just starting out with Twitter and most of all, just have fun.
