10 Twitter Marketing Tips

Did you know there are almost 200 million people on Twitter? how about this one - Twitter is the #10 most visited site in the world? Holy moly!

Alexa.com is one my favorite resources for internet traffic data. Take a gander at today's results for Twitter and just look at where Twitter is heading. In the last three months alone the tally of people using Twitter has snowballed by over 10% whipping even Facebook, the number 2 site in the world, which only achieved a mere 8% in the same period. Twitter is hot hot hot!

So is it possible to use Twitter to market your own home business? Here are ten twitter marketing tips.

1. First, if you haven't already subscribed, go to twitter.com and join.

2. Now, it helps to look good when you set up your profile. Choose a nice smiley photo of yourself to upload. people are more attracted to nice smiling faces.

3. Next, when you create your profile bio be original. Find an approach to make yourself different. Make yourself stand out. If you like, be outrageous.

4. Remember that Twitter is like a 24 hour social event. Don't beat people over the head with an opportunity sales job the first chance you get. Develop a connection based on trust. The biggest mistake of network marketers is they try to sell before they have developed a relationship.

5. Search out content and value and share this by tweeting it to others. Help solve peoples' problems.

6. SocialOomph.com is your best friend on Twitter. It's free so go ahead and get an account. With SocialOomph you can:

-automate following others who follow you
-automatically send out a response to people who follow you
-be notified when they @mention you.

7. You'll end up appearing robotic if you automate your tweets on SocialOomph. So don't. And when you do reply to someone who has just followed you remember, don't sock them with a sales message. Be an actual person. Be approachable.

8. Here is a sample welcome message you can use that I picked up from Ray Higdon. he says it has worked very well for him. Check out the little emoticon:

You're Cool :p - Connect with me on Facebook - http://facebook.com/insertyourfacebookaddresshere!

9. From time to time, share motivational quotes and upload some fun photos. Twitpic.com is a convenient service to use for this.

10. It is essential to work on your business every day. Make it a daily discipline to:

- Scan, comment and retweet 10 MLM or marketing blogs in your category. If you can be the first to comment.
- Find and follow 20 MLM leaders on Twitter. Two resources you can use are: Twellow.com and Search.twitter.com
- Find a way to present your business opportunity to at least 2-5 people.
- Create one new piece of content.

Have a blast with Twitter! I do. And follow me at twitter.com/devkhalsa.
