So “What are you doing?” This is what Twitter is all interested in knowing. Isn’t it simple enough to just mention and post. Hey! But wait a minute, why are you even doing this? Who would be interested anyway in what you have been doing? Sounds boring and useless isn’t it??

Well if you think so then you are unaware of the micro blogging potential. Twitter is a micro blogging platform that allows you to share information within 140 characters. This ensures that you include only the valuable part of the information and cut the unwanted flab knowledge. It is a social media that helps you to connect to people in no time. Each post is referred to as a “Tweet”. Tweets are not similar to

IM the latter can’t be shared in public domain. You can follow people and in turn people can follow you. Basically anyone can be followed by anyone to everyone. Wow this sounds interesting!

Now comes the interesting part, who is interested in your tweets. Your followers and prospect followers could be interested in the information you are trying to share through tweets. Generally people who share common or similar interests would become your followers in Twitter or you would follow them. Eventually, you would end up sharing tweets with them. People can re-tweet your posts and reply to you. That is when it becomes more interactive and interesting. You can make numerous friends on Twitter in just no time.

All you would require to get going is an account. You can create a free account online and include your picture, viz. an optional feature. You can jazz up your profile and enter all information. You can also access Twitter through various applications like TweetLater. Such applications manage your account and let you save your tweets as a draft and publish it in future.

Audience

Twitter is not meant for a specific group of people. It is a social application that is meant for everyone. Anyone can explore its benefits and make new friends online in no time. For example: A housewife can display and share tweets about the delicacy she discovered, with her followers. Similarly, a college bee can share her latest prom night experience. So Twitter is a one stop shop for all your online social needs.

How To Build Your List Using FaceBook Notes

Notes on Facebook is one of the coolest ways to build relationships with people AND build a list at the same time.  You can talk about anything. I like
talking about life, business, and sports. OK back to the title: How To Generate Leads For Your Business Using FaceBook Notes…Let’s do this in a “rules format”.
Rule Number 1. Be professional. Yes it is cool to be yourself but to in order for you
to transcend into every culture, perspective, and circle of trust, you have to practice a universal attitude that is not offensive to anyone. This takes a high level of professionalism and you can be yourself at the same time. (the nice version) Rule Number 2. Timing is key. Post your note at a good time. Post it when you think other people will read it. The same ethics used in Email Marketing apply to making a note on Facebook. Most people are away for the holidays and usually like to sleep the same times that you do so try to revolve around other people’s schedules. This is business 101. Posting a Facebook note about the latest weight loss and diet plan on Thanksgiving day is great way to have your note deleted and lose potential customers. It’s just rude to talk about dieting when I’m trying to “get down with the get down” on a Turkey leg.  Rule Number 3. People have great instincts. So don’t post when you are in a bad mood or if you are angry. It doesn’t matter if you are trying to sell a car or organize a charity event, people know if you are coming from a place
of negativity. They know if you are rushing or under pressure. People deserve
the best version of you so do some “wooossaah” and pinch your ears if
that’s what it takes to get in a good mood. Rule Number 4. Use the tag option. On Facebook, as most of you know, you can tag people when you upload videos, photos, send messages, and make notes. This is an option and I only recommend you ONLY tag people that have something to do with what you are making a note about. If it is family news tag your family, if you are looking to buy some text books then tag the college students, if you have tickets to the Superbowl game, Boxing or UFC Matches in Vegas, then you can tag me. Rule Number 5. Keep it PG or G rated. Everyone here is in some kind of family whether or not they claim it. When writing a note on Facebook, ensure that it is content that you would allow your family to read. If you are overly raw, uncut, and vulgar then you will find that building your list on Facebook can be a bit of a challenge. Rule Number 6. Stay away from certain topics that can get overheated. Politics is definitely one of those topics. There are some people that will refuse to get on your list because you are a democrat or republican. It doesn’t matter if you are going to give away plasma TV’s to your email list. In business you have to know when to stay neutral on certain issues. Or at least bite your tongue. Rule Number 7. Remember your purpose. You are trying to build a relationship with a list of people that have something in common with you. It can be love for health, technology, spirituality, etc. If you take your eye of the ball you might get caught up in the list building mission which can lead to failure if you are coming off annoying or aggressive. This applies especially on Facebook. We want Facebook to stay classy unlike Myspace. (oops strong opinion…have to be careful with those) Rule Number 8. Be a turn on. Be cool. Be you. Don’t pretend to be something you are not. Being you will work just fine. When it comes to building your list using FaceBook Notes….Remember this: You are good enough, you are smart enough, and dog-on-it, people like you. Head over here >>> To Get More Tips And Advice

Most of you know by now what Twitter is and how it works. You may even have a Twitter account and some of of your friends following you. But, do you know how to use Twitter to advertise your website free? I’m not talking about a couple hundred more followers in months…I’m taking about THOUSANDS of Followers in a few months.

Wait a minute, you haven’t heard about Twitter?

Twitter is a “micro-blogging” site that allows you to post short “tweets” or posts about your daily activities. Or your thoughts. Or your products. Or anything. Not to sound trite, but Twitter is the new My Space/Facebook. Twitter is the “it” site. And YOU can still get in there early and be a superstar.

How early is it?

Well, Oprah just joined a few months ago. Oprah is the Queen of Marketing and Mass Communication, and she just joined.

Twitter followers are just like MySpace friends, or Facebook friends. These are the people that will read your Tweets. For those of you that are using, or are going to use Twitter for marketing purposes, you will need a completely automated Twitter growth system if you want to set a system up once and forget about it.

So, how much and how fast can you grow your Twitter following with an automated system?

How does 20,000 new Twitter followers in 6 months grab you? How about 500 new Twitter followers in 24 hours? Does that wake you up, grab hold of you and shake you a little?

All these followers can translate into “organic” traffic for your website or blog. You don’t have to be an international celebrity to be a Twitter Superstar.

How I Learned to Twitter in 7 Weeks

0

Posted on : 21-01-2010 | By : admin | In : Social sites
1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (No Ratings Yet)
Loading ... Loading ...

I stumbled onto Twitter as a marketing tool completely by accident. I was looking for a way to promote a book I’m working on, and a friend suggested that I do two things: Start a blog and get on Twitter.

”What is Twitter? I don’t get how will it help me promote my book to tell people what I am having for breakfast,” I replied. “It would take me too long to explain, just try it out,” he said.

What follows here is a week-by-week review of how I learned that Twitter can be an important business-development tool for lawyers and law firms.

Week 1: Signing up The sign-up at Twitter. com was just like everything else. I needed to add a picture but luckily, I was still holding on to the picture used for my attorney bio, so I uploaded that. A bio. Usually I leave them blank, but this one was limited to 150 characters, so I wrote: “Father, husband, attorney, and aspiring author. Follow me as I work to get published.” I was pretty happy with myself, it was a perfect bio for someone trying to get published. After I finished my profile, Twitter suggested that I start following a bunch of famous people like Ashton Kutcher and Shaquille O’Neal. Was it the real Shaq? Turns out it was. These famous people have almost 80,000 people following them, and the truth is I just didn’t get it.

Week 2: I start following people I needed help finding some publishers to submit my manuscript to, so I used the Twitter search function. I searched using the term “publisher” and turned up about 50 results. So I started following all 50 of them. Some were small publishers, some were big, but the cool part was that they were all posting stories and links all about writing and publishing, one of the articles was “10 Things Every Author Should Do Before Submitting a Manuscript.” This was good stuff, exactly the types of things I needed to learn in my situation. I also realized that, as I started following people, the majority of them followed me back. Now I had more than 30 followers. I was feeling pretty good.

Week 3: A fortuitous connection Some total stranger was asking about my book, this was great. So I explained my book to him, and we chatted back and forth using Twitter’s Direct Messages, which are kind of like an e-mail message or private messages on Facebook. He was an author who has self-published in the past, and he gave me the phone number of one of the gurus of self-publishing. Out of the blue, I call this guy up, and he takes an hour and talks to me. He gives me advice and shares a few contacts with me.

Week 4: Spreading the message When someone shares an interesting link to an article on Twitter or shares a good quote, it gets repeated. This is called a “retweet.” I noticed that whenever I posted articles, they never got retweeted. Why not? Because they weren’t interesting enough. So I started paying attention to the types of articles that were retweeted. Usually they announced breaking news or shared really interesting content on blogs, so I started trying to think of something to post on my blog that might garner some interest. I posted a satirical response to an article one of my buddies from law school posted, and it spread like wildfire, or at least like a small brush fire. I had 170 unique visitors to my blog in just an hour or two in response to that one post. That was fun but, more importantly, it made me realize the power of Twitter. Here I was with fewer than 100 followers, and my message spread well beyond that circle.

Week 5: My first corporate client “Does anybody know an attorney that practices contract law?” “Yeah, that’s actually what I do, what do you need?” I replied suspiciously. “My friend needs some legal advice about a contract, could you talk to her?” “Sure, send me a direct message with her contact into.” After exchanging e-mail addresses and a few phone conversations, my firm had a new client. All our communication was exchanged over the phone and e-mail, and the retainer and payment were paid by credit card. It was so easy, it made me realize that maybe there was more to Twitter than just promoting books. Maybe I could use Twitter to find clients. You see, Twitter functions like a giant cocktail party where thousands of conversations are going on simultaneously. You can listen in on any conversation you please, you just simply need to “follow” the individuals having the conversation. Unlike two other social networking sites, Facebook and Myspace,you don’t need to be accepted as someone’s “friend” to listen in on their conversation. For example, if MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice (both of whom are on Twitter) are having a Twitter conversation, then you may listen in if you have a Twitter account- you can even try to add your own clever enough comment or question to be included in their discussion.

Week 6: Automated searches Using the free program Tweetdeck, I set up searches so that every time someone mentioned “contract law” on Twitter, from anywhere in the world, their post was filtered through a search that arrived instantly on my computer. I soon learned how to create an alert that would send me an e-mail or text message any time the term “contract law” was mentioned in a Twitter post. That allowed me to respond in real time. Return for a second to our cocktail-party analogy. Here you are at this gigantic cocktail party, and you overhear a conversation about contract law. “Excuse me, I couldn’t help but overhear you are looking for a corporate attorney. Could I recommend someone? And like that, a new relationship is created that is specifically targeted. Here are a few of the comments I saw posted on Twitter after setting up my search: “I urgently need an immigration attorney, can anybody recommend one?” “My friend is getting a divorce, can anybody recommend an attorney?” “Does anybody know a NY attorney I can ask a malpractice question to?”

Week 7 and beyond: A world of opportunity I have been on Twitter for 14 weeks. I have a large following now, but more importantly, I have learned some amazing tools that are helping me to expand my zone of influence beyond just Western New York. Every day I see potential leads- some of which I pass on or have to ignore because they are outside of my area of expertise. There are some 12 million users of Twitter now, mostly highly educated people in urban centers, and they are talking about every single legal topic imaginable. My recommendation for any lawyer? You just need to jump in and give it a try.

Adrian Dayton is an attorney who was recently admitted to practice law in the state of New York. He is also an author awaiting publication of his first book “The Year of 12 Virtues.” He can be found on Twitter @adriandayton or at his website http://adriandayton.com/blog/

tBest Ways to Make Money on Twitter

2. Custom Twitter Backgrounds
tAs the environment becomes so popular Twitter users to have their usefulness, many designers are now offering custom designs Twitter. Some designers specialize in this service and those customers when pitching to build a website. This is still very new and I only saw a good site to offer specially designed environments Twitter.
3. Building Twitter account
tMany online companies do not have the time or knowledge to build a large audience on Twitter. This type of promotion social media is in high demand and I’m sure that people are already pretty penny to build the number of followers on Twitter accounts for customers.
4. Twitter Consulting
tAs mentioned earlier, many companies want to make the most of Twitter, but do not know where to start. If you are a guru of Twitter, you can easily charge for advice Twitter and give companies the information they need to conquer Twitter by a storm.
5. Tweeting for companies
tTweeting must be done regularly, and pagers are very interesting and informative. Many companies probably do not want some full time for Twitter so they think maybe rent rather than own account stocked with fresh tweets hiring!
6. Affiliate Marketing
tIf you have money to earn money online affiliate programs, you probably already have some support. There is no reason you can not push these products on Twitter Twitter us or for use on landing pages and drive! To avoid the use of your account just for this. If your tweets are informative and you have to trust and appreciate your tweets should be implemented in a few good affiliate tweets from time to time.
7. Exclusive Offers Twitter
tSome companies offer special rates Twitter, which can spread like wildfire on Twitter, you increase your Twitter and visitors to your website. How your corporate blog or a Facebook page, Twitter is another ideal place to promote sales and special offers.
8. Twitter Applications
tThere are a lot of questions from Twitter both paid and free. Even free applications, you can earn money because it will generate the exposure, especially if the program is very good and will be used by many users. Many companies are developing applications for Web sites like Twitter, to get this exposure, which in turn leads to more consistent application of custom work for businesses online.
9. Related sites Twitter
tI noticed that many Twitter related sites emerge, such as those that provide free media, which is a top of Twitter users, Twitter and blogs on the list will show later. I think that Twitter will be there for a while ‘, then you still have time to familiarize yourself with some websites are cool, but do not wait too long! It ‘always good to strike while the fire is hot.
10. Online reputation monitoring
tSince Twitter has become a community so large, people seem to talk business over it. It could easily work for themselves in a position to monitor their reputation, what kind of buzz that will always see on Twitter too. The always valuable to monitor feedback from users.
11. Research competitors
tLike any company to follow its own brand on Twitter, you can modify the pool and watch your competitors on Twitter. Who knows what they are too sneaky! I am sure that the companies would report their enemies, which could produce for themselves how!
12. Brand Awareness
tTwitter in its core is simply another way you can draw a wide audience to gain visibility. The more followers you are, the better your mark will be known, which I hope will turn into a kind of useful for your business. Remember, if sites like Twitter, MySpace and Facebook are great, do not forget what is most important for the company.
tI hope you enjoyed this Twitter to the tip money. You can add your own article in the comments!

In the world of social media two companies have stood above the pack for some time, Myspace and Facebook. The recent success of companies like Twitter prove that the two giants are not alone. But are their truly any Social sites out their that can come from so far in the rear and find success, even surpass these mega sites? Say hello to my two new favorite FREE sites.

The first site is a social site, People String, that in all appearances is similar to Facebook, they have the same, invite friends, comment friends, start groups, invites, and events. There a publicly traded company. So what’s so different with this site? How about these features for starters. The most unique and explosive free email service standard. I wasn’t kidding, EXPLOSIVE. There Free email service has standard features like expiring email, if its not read in your set time frame it can’t be read, or BLOW IT UP! Once the email is opened by the reader, after a time you set, 15 seconds to longer, your email burns up in a digital fire making the email unreadable and irretrievable. It’s what 007 wishes he had. Inspector gadget wished it was
only digital. Send a message and have it burn away.This site also links all your social sites to it, Myspace, Facebook,Twitter, and more. The have a im that links all your im’s into one, whether its, yahoo, msn, live, g-talk. You can log into oneim and connect to all of them in one im window.

Not enough? How about editable links to your favorite sites. Still need more? Ok when I saw this one I was truly impressed. By simply using your page to access a network of 400 or so retailers like Wal-Mart, target, OfficeMax, target, Kmart, and 100′s more you will save big bucks. That’s right, you get discount at your favorite retailers websites just by clicking through your homepage. Want to shop at Vista Print, well click through your social homepage instead of your browser and you’ll save 7.5%.

Now your starting to see why this social site is rising faster then a backed
up sink.

But here is the real magic of this site. When you use this site, message friends, use your email, etc. They Pay You. Yeah, I know, I had to read it twice myself, but its true. Just for socializing this site gives 70% of it’s advertising revenue back to its members. When you refer friends to socialize too, they pay you. They’ll even pay you for your friends based on their usage too. The more you and your friends use it, the more you get. You get paid 6 degrees of separation for your friends. I got on the site and in one weekend raked up $23 check for playing and talking to my friend. Come be apart of the next mega social network at People String.

Second Site, BlastOff. Blast off doesn’t pay you to surf, but it does have the same discounts at over 300 retailers. And will pay you a portion of your friends discounts too. Even PizzaHut is throughing in, all their pizza boxes will promote BlastOff. So what’s so great about Blastoff. Simple, they give you a revolutionary homepage. The best way to describe it is an iPhone as a webpage. The first customizable app homepage with an iphone look. Have all your favorite news feeds. company widgets, Youtube, Hulu player right on your page, social sites like Facebook integrated right in, and games you can play all on your homepage. This one is so pretty you’ll instantly fall in love. In fact so many people loved it, the day they launched the massive flow of signups over powered their servers and ground the site to a halt. Go see the
prettiest social site yet.

Myspace and Facebook look out!

What is Twitter – a question on everybody’s mind!

The buzz is all around. Everyone is talking about Twitter! Well, what is Twitter? Read further and you will know all about Twitter. The most simple and clear-cut answer to ‘what is Twitter?’ is, it is a social networking as well as a micro blogging site. Those of you who are too busy in their lives and have no time for long emails and Instant Messages, Twitter is an ideal choice.

Twitter allows its users to send and receive tweets. Tweets means messages in Twitter world. The tweets are limited to 140 characters. These tweets appear on the profile of user page and are delivered to its followers. Followers are those who subscribe to a user. Twitter is also known as SMS of the internet. Whether it is some breaking news or a message or an update from a friend, you can get all this information via Twitter.

There are many ways to send messages (tweets) to others. You can send messages directly through Twitter web site, as an SMS on phone or through third party like Firefox add-on called Twitterfox, Twirl or Snitter.

Twitter is the most recently launched social networking site. Launched in 2006, Twitter has gained popularity among social networking people and bloggers worldwide. Introduced by a private company, the most remarkable thing about Twitter is, it wasn’t started as a venture aiming at social networking. Yet, today it ranks third among the other social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.

After knowing what Twitter is all about, let’s look at some of the pitfalls of Twitter. In the short time it has been on the Internet, it has had its fair share of technical glitches. Account handling came up as one major issue as Twitter servers could not handle the influx of a lot of new accounts. Importantly and critically, security factor was compromised several times on the use of Twitter. The fact that a lot of users discontinued using Twitter a month after signing up goes to show the kind of problems this software faced. With the press giving a lot of bad press about Twitter, one thing was sure – This new social networking application surely had some way to go before it topples Myspace or Facebook. That said, the web site surely gained popularity, albeit in a bad manner.

Now that you know what is Twitter take a look at the list of some notable Twitter users. You are sure to be amazed. Twitter was used in 2007 by the fire department of LA during California wildfires. Some of the NASA projects are updated using Twitter. Oh yes, not to forget the technology savvy President of USA. President Barack Obama used Twitter during his election campaign. Not just him but even his campaign volunteers used Twitter for publicity during the campaign. The most notable use was by Israel government. They held press conferences through Twitter. They held their Q&A round via Twitter about the then ongoing war against Hamas, Gaza.

Now that you know “What is Twitter?”, why wait, and just get the ball rolling with a Twitter account.

Why should Twitter succeed? Facebook and Myspace were already there with many other social networks competing for eyeballs. Throw in social bookmarking sites and we thought that nothing more was needed as far as online networking was concerned. But then came Twitter and changed all the equations. It made everyone rush to see what was happening on twitter and why.

I think that the limit of 140 characters gave a unique appeal to twitter in the beginning. It is like- you use a soap because of its perfume and not because it washes well! Because of the limit in characters, there was no way one could write something that was confusing. Nobody had the time to read long posts on the blogs anyway. So twitter saved all of us from boring and lengthy conversations on blogs. We could open our page and see what was new quickly.

Another major factor is to give importance to not what you write but what you follow. You are interested more in what others are doing and not what you are doing on your page. So with Twitter if you follow somebody, you are immediately told about what the other person wants to say. This results in very quick communication.

Call it luck or whatever but most prominent personalities are tweeting. They are being followed and all followers are interested in knowing about what their favorite celebrity, consultant, author or artist is doing. It also has become a marketing tool. Though it is not a good marketing tool for small businesses yet it may happen soon. Right now if you selling toothbrushes, nobody wants to know about your latest. But if you are offering a bargain, people may get interested. Do you see Twitter affecting ebay? It may happen. Why not sell what you have on your twitter and let people know immediately?

A clean interface, neat design and less clutter make twitter easy to use and this may also be one reason why people are not leaving it.
