Twitter Marketing 101: Do you tweet?

Twitter has been the latest trend in social media network marketing. For those of you that don't know how twitter really works you are truly missing out on something huge. What ever your use for twitter it can help you meet other people that have the same interests as you. Twitter can help you gain an income that you may have never thought imaginable. It can and will bring more traffic to your website when used to it's fullest potential. Twitter is currently the fastest growing internet network marketing source on the web. You will find all types of people from all walks of life around the world that tweet on twitter. If you don't know what a tweet is, it is a short little sentence about what your doing in 140 characters or less. Here are some different types of tweeters you may encounter on twitter.

1. One Timers - Those that sign up but never use it again.
2. Occasional Users - Are those that use it once a month or less and for special occasions.
3. Weekly Users - Are those that will tweet up to a few times a week but never daily
4. Daily Users - Are those that use it at least once a day, sometimes will take weekends off.
5. Extreme Users - Are those that use twitter every day and use all avenues and devices to tweet such as cell phone, Facebook, MySpace, Squidoo etc.

To be successful with twitter you should maximize the usage. This is one of the easiest things you can do that doesn't consume a lot of time.

• Send a text message and tweet from your cell phone.
  
• Link your twitter account to other network marketing sites. You can tweet remotely from these sites.
  
• Follow everyone that follows you. By doing this you will create a snowball effect and get more traffic to your website.

There are many other ways to maximize twitter. How and when you use it can determine how successful you are. I initially started as a Weekly user, then graduated to a Daily user. When I was a weekly user I found that very few people were watching me and the amount of users were under 20. Since then I have graduated to a Daily user, my traffic on my website has more than doubled as well as the amount of people that watch me. I wen from 15 watchers up to 60 watchers in less than a one month period. I found that this was producing much more exceptionable results. So do you tweet? Which type of user are you? Find out what twitter grade is. I am trying the Extreme User method. Follow me on twitter and I will let you know how it works out in about a month.

Video Marketing

Video Marketing is a great way to promote your website. Since I posted my first video on YouTube, I noticed that my website has had a huge increase in traffic. Also I have found there have been multiple sites that have picked up my video including other countries. The thing I love about YouTube, is you can type in almost any subject and there is a video about it. My conclusion is if you don't try YouTube, your missing out!

I want to try something new. A new way to expand on everyone's network. I am going to expand my network of friends by posting a link to your site right here in my blog page. If there is something interesting about yourself you would like me to post, let me know.

Twitter

There are so many different ways of networking on the internet, and I am finding out about more every day. This is a follow up article on my study with Twitter. After I listed my post, I now have more followers on Twitter. How do think this effected me? I now have more people paying attention to my blogs thus driving more traffic to my website. I believe with Twitter you can expand on your network of people and get people who are genuinely interested in your blogs to follow you. It's like having your own fan club.

What does the certification mean. This means allot to companies looking to hire you. Sure you can make money with out becoming certified, but you will usually find a higher paying job if you are certified.

Worth 1000 is another way you can get work. It's a different type of site and is more for designers. Here you will submit a sample of your work according to the post that is requested. This operates in more of a contest format. Companies or corporations, will post a specific job for work. You will submit a sample, and if yours is chosen out of all of the entries they receive, you will be awarded the job. This site you are graded on your work and you will earn a rank according to your experience. Some items will post that you will earn points instead of money. Read each post carefully, some posts you will get both money and points if you win.
