Marlon Sanders’ 21 Twitter Tips part 2
This is a continuation of yesterday’s post.
8. Anything and I do mean anything you say can and will be retweeted.
It’s crazy. People RT things you wouldn’t think they would.
So be aware that anything you say can be spread. So be very cautious about saying anything negative about anyone.
9. Share your positive energy
I said this before. But I’m going to repeat. Positive energy attracts other positive people.
10. Give first
Do NOT ask people to promote you or your product. GIVE first.
Offer to promote THEM! How? I don’t know. Be creative. Think of something. Anything.
Even if it’s just republishing their article on your blog. Or retweeting them. Let me repeat — give first. Offer to promote others first. By law of reciprocity many will give back to you.
The #1 mistake people make is to ASK before they give.
11. If someone really annoys you, you can go to twitter.com, find their name and on the right side is link where you can block them.
12. Go to associateprograms.com and search for affiliate programs in your niche market. Find the names of the product creators and look ‘em up on Twitter.
People who have products with affiliate programs also have lists. Make friends with ‘em. Do something to promote their product and tell ‘em about it. That WILL get a response in most cases.
13. Offer viral ebooks and reports on Twitter.
Instead of blatantly promoting your product, it’s better to offer a little report or ebook with a decent chance of others retweeting it. Use Twitter to PULL more than to PUSH. This is PULL marketing.
14. When you run across a cool web site or resource tweet it to your list.
15. Do NOT send a lot of messages without the @ symbol.
You want to send most of your messages to individuals using the @ symbol.
16. Go out of your way to promote others to your Twitter list. They’ll reciprocate some time in some way.
17. When you find a good blog post on someone’s blog, pass it along to your Twitter list.
This endears you to the blog owner. Even if they aren’t on your Twitter list, there’s a decent chance word will spread back to ‘em. This IS the age of instant communication.
18. Learn to Twitter on your iPhone or cell. Yes, you can do that too.
19. Understand that in the big picture your goal is to find people who have lists and can promote your products then make friends with ‘em.
That’s your ultimate objective. But you don’t get there by ramming your product down people’s throats. You get there by being an ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY that others gravitate to. It helps if you pass along cool resources and on occasion say things that are profound or retweetable.
20. Inspire others to go for it and pursue what they know they should pursue but don’t have the courage to do it.
Be a cheerleader for people’s highest and best interests.
21. Use Twitter strategically to meet and network with list owners.
Do NOT end up twittering away time you really should be using to create products or do other promotions. Use Twitter. Don’t let it use you.
