Twitter is exploding so quickly there are actually people being paid just to use the site, if they get popular enough. I'm not proposing this is likely for one to pursue, but an illustration of how serious people are about using the social networking site these days. And if you're in direct sellingyou unquestionablyought to be taking advantage of this freeapproach of building traffic for your business.
1.You don't have to be a big name to get a large and deicated following on twitter. It is really about the content of your posts. You should be posting positive content as well as useful content, using links to either your blog or page or someone else's. But if you want people to follow you it is necessary to both provide value and build people up.
2. GetYourself a Good Desktop Client-Tweetdeck is the one I wouldsuggest: it works for windows, Linux and Mac and is really useful for managing your Twitter universe.
Tweetdeck can be used for tweeting , tracking specifiedgroups or topics, and even integrating Myspace and Facebook.
The strengths: monitoring multiple topics, multiple accounts, iphone support, free
The one drawback : you need a VERY wide screen for more than a few topics
3. Tweet From The Treetops
If your Twitter account is going to be personal as well as professional, then you will almost certainly want to use it on the road. One option is simply to use Twitter's mobile website. However, if you are fortunate enough to have an iPhone or Android, then there are plenty of Twitter clients available to you.
4.TwitterBurner is a likable tool that helps shorten URL's and click-through's aiding you in keeping track of what interests people and moves them to action. It even tracks these stats for sites you don't direct yourself.
5. The Pied Piper Woudl Be Jealous
You really want to be following either people who already follow well-known network marketers or 'gurus'-or people who follow companies already and are using twitter. Remember you're greatest target market is other network marketers, particularly ones who could use your help.Set an initial goal to follow 30-50 new people a day. I'd advise against adding more to begin, otherwise you might get 'twit-slapped',and you dont' want that.
Mr. Tweet is also cool little application that helps in this genre. It provides two kinds of information:
-first, suggesting people you ought to think about following and
- next, it recommends those from yourfile of followers who you should follow back.
6. It's Not Rocket Science
Don't be intimidated by Twitter. The important thing is just getting started- it will seem less uncomfortable the more you do it. Simply commit to memory to build others up, be dependable, and post helpful content and it is easilyfeasible to quickly develop a steady twitter following.
