If You Are An Affiliate Marketer – Making Twitter Give You The Results You Want

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

No doubt about Twitter being a challenge for many online businesses, but that does not mean you cannot do well using their unusual approach. Everybody knows about social media, but the thing about Twitter is that you will never get far if you violate the basic tenets of social marketing. You will need to understand what Twitter is all about, and then you have to work that into your business. You will need to start at the very beginning with following the right people so the right people follow you.

Be extremely aware of and careful about what you decide to promote in your Twitter campaigns. There are two main considerations with this; the first being your choice and if it is a solid product that people want to buy; the second has to do with what you do with it in your marketing. Product selection based on your research has to be first-rate because that is actually one of the greatest contributors to affiliate failure. The more seriously you take this one point, the better response you’ll get from your followers.

Any time your tweet is about something related to business or marketing, then be very sure they are designed to provide solid value. Be very careful about including too many sales copy elements in your tweets such as talking exclusively about product benefits. Anytime you tweet you want to offer something helpful and/or offer a link so they can check out something. Lots of things happen at Twitter, and you can use it as a springboard to other web properties. You can be a little bit more direct but only after you have been there a while and your followers know who you are and trust you.

Obviously Twitter and being there means you need to step out of your shell and interact with others. People flat-out will not be willing to do business with you if they have no idea who you are or what you are all about. Remember that there are many IM marketers and affiliate marketers who have been able to set-up their businesses at Twitter, and that means it can be done. If you do not mind making friends and speaking with others, then you will have an easier time of it.

As you can see, there is marketing life existing at Twitter but only if you learn how to play by the rules of engagement. You have to be consistent in your approach and practice patience, so that you’re able to see results coming your way. If there was any place that is more geared toward serious professional marketers, then it is this place simply because of what you need to do to make it work. If your business can benefit from a strong branding presence, then this is one site that can help you achieve that.

The rise of Twitter search

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

The way we search for information is changing. Everyone who uses the internet knows it, but the trend goes far beyond the move away from using paper telephone directories and towards search engines. It’s true that Google is still the first port of call for most people looking for information on the internet, but as the web becomes more social, the way we search is changing too.

Exact figures are hard to come by but it’s known that by the end of 2009, Twitter was serving up to 19 billion searches per month. That’s searches made through Twitter, not those related to tweets and tweeting. The only search engine that serves more queries than that is Google- neither Yahoo nor Bing come close.

Of course, a lot of that 19 billion is down to software, not real people, but nevertheless, this figure shows that huge numbers of people are not content to sit back and watch tweets come to them. They go out and use Twitter as a resource to find recommendations, information, and entertainment.

The three most popular sites on the internet are Google, Facebook, and Youtube. Two out of those three are almost completely populated with social content. The images, the text, the videos and comments are the work of ordinary users. This is the real meaning of ‘Web 2.0′- instead of a network of static sites users can only view, participation and interaction are what the new internet is all about.

As the next step in the development of search resources, Twitter makes perfect sense. Google and the other major search engines are pretty smart but they aren’t perfect. They can give you the biggest restaurant, the closest restaurant, and the restaurants that have invested the most in SEO. They can only make guesses at the best restaurant. What they lack is real input from normal people and these days that’s what users want. The development of Google + was probably prompted by this idea, at least in part.

There are two ways Twitter can be used to find information. The most obvious is to tweet a request- ‘Anyone know a good vegan restaurant in San Diego?’ and see what you get back. Users expect recommendations from friends but they’ll often take suggestions from strangers. Social media savvy businesses (and blogs) stay on the lookout for relevant tweets like that one. They can be an excellent source of new customers or readers in almost any industry.

The second method is to search for tweets other people have made using the terms ‘san diego’ ‘restaurant’ and ‘vegan’. At peak times, about 300,000 tweets are made per minute, spread across every conceivable topic. The chance of finding a recent, relevant tweet is pretty high for almost any obvious search query.

So, how do bloggers capitalise on the growing use of Twitter as a search resource? Like a lot of SEO, it all comes back to keywords. Remember that any and every tweet you make could be viewed by searchers as well as your followers and the followers of your retweeters. Use your blog keywords in your tweets, get involved in trending topics, and try the search facility yourself. Find some relevant conversations and get involved.

Controversial Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Takes to Twitter to Counter Critics

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

I’ve already mentioned that blogs can be used as powerful tools to decry a social issue or start a Bolivarian revolution. This week Hugo Chavez, controversial socialist president of Venezuela, took to the blogosphere with a Twitter account called chavezcandanga. “Candanga” roughly translates to “devil.”

With only two tweets so far, he doesn’t have as many followers as Ashton Kutcher but he’s off to a good start. According to the AP, Chavez plans to use the Twitter to counter his online critics.
