If you’ve spent any time on the Internet then you’ve probably heard
about Twitter. It’s a cool social networking site that’s all about
leaving little blog entries – called Tweets – about what you’re
doing at any given moment. This is a cool tool for social reasons
but it’s also a valuable tool for marketing. Here are a few tips
for how to use Twitter and a brief overview of what it’s all about.

Over the last several months Twitter has become all the rage.
Stars, sports teams, athletes, companies, and just about everyone
else is using Twitter. All you have to do is go to Twitter.com and
take a few minutes to sign-up on the site. Once you’re signed up
then you’ll have your own page where you can write your own Tweets
and receive any Tweets that are made by your friends.

Obviously this is fun for social purposes. You can keep up with
what your friends are doing every minute of the day if they Tweet
that much. But Twitter is also very valuable for Internet Marketing.

There is a spot on the page where you can put a link to a website.
Ideally you would put a link to your website there and then people
would see your Tweets, visit your Twitter page, and then click
through to your site. Obviously it isn’t this easy. So how do you
use Twitter to your benefit?

Well, the first step is getting people to follow you. You can do
this by following them first. Most people will follow you back when
you follow them. You can find people to follow by using a cool
little tool found at twellow.com. You can go there and put in a
keyword or phrase and find people who use that phrase on their own
Twitter page. So, if you’re in the Internet Marketing niche then
you would type “Internet Marketing” into the search box.

Don’t follow too many people at once. Just pick about 25 people a
day each and every day. You can find more people by looking at the
followers of people you’re following and then following them. As
you follow more people, and people follow you back, you’ll get even
more followers. It’s like a snowball rolling down a hill.

You should start writing Tweets immediately and you should try to
post at least 5 every day. You can post links to new articles and
blog posts you made. But more than anything just Tweet about what
you’re doing. Give people something they’ll find interesting. Then
they’ll start looking for your Tweets and eventually you’ll get
people clicking through to your site.

Do not SPAM people on Twitter. There’s no quicker way for people to
stop following you. And you’ll get banned by Twitter if you do it
too much. Just use the site as it was meant to be used – to connect
socially with people. If you do a good job, people will look into
you and your products and you’ll get customers without even
directly selling to them on Twitter.

That is a brief look at how to use Twitter. It really is a great
little tool and every Internet Marketer should be using it. This
means you should start using it right away.
