Practical Social Marketing Tips – How to Become a Twitter Rock Star Just by Tweeting About Life

By Jeff Herring

Twitter is one of the most powerful Social Marketing tools for creating online visibility, driving traffic and building your list.

One of the most frequent questions I get from beginners and experienced alike goes something like this: “Now that I am on Twitter, what do I tweet about?”

That’s a really good question, since Twitter is about so much more than “what you are doing right now.” Here are four categories in which you can focus your messages on Twitter. Just be sure that in each one you go by the 80/20 rule: 80% social and 20% marketing.

Bottom line? What you tweet about is LIFE. That’s right, L I F E LIFE. Here’s what I mean:

L – Links – There are at least two types of links you want to tweet. One is links to things you have found interesting such as articles, videos, blog posts, something you found interesting, something that made you laugh, etc. The second type of link to tweet is links into your web world. You can invite people to your blog, teleseminars, audios, etc. Here’s the really cool thing: you can tweet links to your opt-in pages where they can trade their email address for more great information from you. I do this at least once a day.

I – Information – If you want to be seen as a Twitter Rock Star and dominate your niche, deliver information about your experts in 140 characters or less. There is no way you can deliver everything in 140 characters or less, so don’t worry about giving away the store. Share valuable information from your niche.

For example here’s one I often do “If you can write a 7 item grocery list, you can write a 7 tips article for more prospects, publicity and profits.”

Another way to tweet information is by offering quotes. You can choose a quote that relates to your niche or just simply one about life. A great place to get quotes is over at QuoteGarden.com.

F – Fun – One of the quickest ways to get ignored on Twitter is to be serious and business like all the time. Have some fun. As I said above you can tweet about things that make you laugh. You can also tweet about what you are doing or have done that day for fun, silly things that have happened, etc. You’ve heard the term “edutainment” right? This is an example of what it means.

E – Events – Are you holding an event? A teleseminar, webinar, perhaps a in person seminar? Invite your Twitter followers to the event. How do I know this works? I’ve held events and only invited people from Twitter and done quite well. Invite your followers into your world and what you are doing.

2 Essential Twitter Tools by Shannon Herod

Are you currently using twitter? Twitter is a tool that will allow you to communicate with hundreds if not thousands of people at a time and 140 characters or less. Basically, twitter is an instant messenger on a massive scale.

What I mean by that is twitter allows you to join in the conversations of many people at the same time. So, two people could be having a conversation and you could jump right in. You do this by following other users and users following you. Once users are following you and you are following them you can see each other’s tweets.

A tweet is the 140 character message you send across the twitter platform. You can add pictures, links, or just use plain text in your tweets. But, there is one restriction. You must do this in 140 characters or less.

It is really an awesome platform. This platform is great for building relationships with potential customers and clients. You can easily start driving traffic and sales to your webpages with relative ease. The great thing about twitter is all the barriers are usually down. So, that makes it extremely easy to communicate with people.

People you once thought were unreachable are now reachable. People you could never have dreamed of getting a hold of, you can now get a hold of. It is really a great platform and want to be used with respect. Do not try to spam the platform because it will only backfire on you. Now, to get into the point of this article. There are two essential tools I use when using twitter. And those two tools are TweetLater and TweetDeck. In the following paragraphs I am going to tell you why I like these tools so much.

TweetLater essentially allows you to automate some of the processes and building relationships with twitter. You can not only send follow-up messages at scheduled times using twitter, but you can instantly send a welcome message, not a spam message, to all of your new followers.

Plus, you can automatically follow every one that follows you. I would highly suggest doing this. Because following everyone that follows you shows respect. Plus, it allows you to build relationships that much easier.

TweetDeck is a tool that allows you to manage your twitter account with ease. You can easily follow the conversations between a time of different twitter users using TweetDeck. This application is a desktop application that will allow you to easily follow all of your tweets, all of your replies and all of your direct messages.

TweetDeck alliances these different categories into different columns so they are easily viewable and readable.

Okay, so here’s what you need to do next… if you are not using twitter you need to start using it right now. If you are using twitter and you are not profiting from the platform you need to learn how. So, what I have done is put together an extensive Twitter Special Report. This special report will show you exactly the tips, tricks and strategies I have used to build great relationships and even pull in a massive $147 in a single day using twitter.

So, if you are interested in building relationships, driving traffic and grabbing sales using twitter you cannot miss out on this report. Go grab the Twitter special report now and start getting a mass of followers, building great relationships and making a little money while you’re at it.
