Here are some tidbits of things we learned from Curt “The Mac Marketer” Frieden and how he’s generated a sizeable income using Twitter.
1. First off, you can’t forget the attraction marketing principles in social marketing. They come entirely into play while “Tweeting” on Twitter. That is key!
If you start promoting your biz, your products, your opportunity – you’re sunk. People will almost blacklist you. You need to make friends, build relationships, be active in the community, and provide value to others. When that happens, then you have their trust, and then they come to join you!
So, there are some tips we learned.
2. Numero uno – Get Tweetdeck! This is your flightdeck for Twitter. When you have someone Direct Message you or give you a Reply in just the regular Twitter page, you run a high risk of missing those messages just because of the set-up and design of the regular Twitter page. Tweetdeck lines up and keep all of your messages – including the tweets of those you follow – until you’re ready to get rid of them. You NEED this tool and it’s a free download.
Ontop of that, you can send messages from the Tweetdeck to all of your followers and people you follow.
Get Tweetdeck here www.tweetdeck.com/beta/
3. Next is www.MyTwitterToolbar.com This toolbar can be added to your Firefox as a plug-in. Good God! If you ever wondered how many tools there were for Twitter, this is the Holy Grail. You can get access to TONS of tools and widgets at just the push of a button.
Plus, there are Twitter tips – over 100 at this point. This is a very good source for social networking tips on Twitter.
4. Ever wanted to hide your affiliate links when you post it? Go checkout http://tr.im/ (no .com) You enter your affiliate links here, the program converts it to a smaller cloaked URL.
5. Want to follow specific people with like interests (other network marketers) on Twitter and maybe…um…spy on what they’re posting? How about checking out Twollow.com You can set up searches using keywords, and Twollo will automatically set you up to follow them.
6. Ping.fm This site is a VERY useful tool to help you blast your Twitter messages to all of your other social profiles like MySpace, Facebook, your blog, etc. Register for free, put in your text that you want to blast, and hit send.
Set up alerts and track keywords in the public Twitter stream. We will monitor the Twitter tweet stream and periodically email you a digest of the tweets that contain those keywords. You can also use this to track your @replies.
Schedule tweets and keep your Twitter stream ticking over with new tweets even when you’re not in front of your computer. Publish tweets when your international followers are online and you’re asleep.
Send automated thank you notes to new followers, and automatically follow new followers, if you choose to do so. Optionally, select to vet (approve, ignore, block) new followers before we perform your selected automation tasks.
Grab your own personal 140-character tweet scheduling engine and RSS feed. You can schedule and publish tweets that don’t go to Twitter, they go to your personal tweet stream, which is available in RSS, XML and Javascript formats.
Add and manage as many Twitter accounts as you want. It’s free.
