Twenty-One Tips for Using Twitter
Subtitle: Two New Conversion Formats You Can Use To Promote Affiliate Offers Or Your Own Products By Marlon Sanders
In this article I’m sharing my cheat sheet for profiting from Twitter.
I want to share with you how to obtain joint ventures, meet people you can produce products with, get people to promote your products and jump start your business — all without forking over even a dime.
And you can do all of this starting 60 minutes from now — even if you don’t know anyone to start, even if you don’t have any sort of list to begin with, even if you’re a newbie, even if you’re a Mac user, even if you can’t attend seminars, even if ….
You get the idea. By using Twitter, you will:
* Meet people who have lists and can promote your product.
* Meet people who have the know how to move your business forward.
* Connect with people like you, so you don’t have that feeling you’re in this all alone.
* Avoid the bickering, arguing junk that goes on in forums.
One thing I hate about forums is a few people post all the time and become power brokers — even if they’re obnoxious, don’t have any clue what they’re doing and so forth. Forums also attract a lot of negativity.
Twitter is a totally different and refreshing experience.
I’ve officially been on Twitter hard core for a few weeks now.
I still have lots to learn. But let me share the amazing things I HAVE discovered about it that can benefit you greatly and almost immediately.
==> You’ll meet and connect with wonderful people
I’ve met some really neat people I normally would have never connected with.
==> You’ll get to discuss things with people you might not know about them in other venues.
==> You can interact with a lot of people quickly.
==> Your Twitter list builds virally
People will retweet (explained below) things you say. This virally spreads your info through other people’s networks. This is the most powerful aspect of Twitter.
Now, here are my best tips on getting the most out of Twitter.
1. Sign up at Twitter.com
That’s step one, of course. It’ll take you about 30 seconds.
2. Download Tweetdeck
It’s a freebie download for pc’s and Macs from Tweetdeck.com.
Tweetdeck will make your tweeting an unbelievable experience.
3. Keep the negative junk off Twitter
Don’t use Twitter to try to get that refund or resolve disputes.
The purpose is marketing. Use it to bring positive energy and meet people. People have asked me, “Marlon, why can’t I publish info if someone rips me off?”
The reason is because the PURPOSE of being on Twitter is to network with people who can promote your products for you. When you complain about other people, it REPELS positive people, exactly the ones you are hoping to ATTRACT.
4. Follow people who are in your niche.
Go to Twitter.com. Click on “find people.” Type in names of people who write blogs in your niche, who have affiliate products and who are influencers.
Click the “follow” link under their photo. This will let you see their tweets with other people.
5. Make friends
Do NOT go onto Twitter pitching people. Make friends. Be a sociable person.
6. Learn the art of the RT
RT stands for “retweet”. There’s a little icon that says RT.
When you retweet someone’s messsage, you’re passing it on so the people on your list can see it. This is the ultimate form of sharing. You give before you get. Even if you only have 10 people on your list, use the RT. But watch how others do it first. Don’t just jump in.
7. Observe for a week
Spend a week or so just watching others and learning what happens on Twitter before you jump in head over heels.
