It’s fabulous to think that only 2 years ago, this word was unknown and didn’t mean anything to most people.

Now Twitter has become one of the center-pieces of marketers than know how to handle social media, and require to make it a powerful piece of their marketing puzzle.

As general concept, you require finally both free and paid marketing on your arsenal, that is how you can take huge action and get huge results, but this is for another broader topic.

In this editorial you’ll learn how to automate your twitter marketing by quitely putting your acount to work, and deliver hundreds of followers per day, but simultaneously by keeping your account tidy and compliant to Twitter-rules so that you don’t get banned!

1. Think it like going to a party….

You would not say to somebody you meet at a party…” hey how are you? Here’s my business card, hope to see you in my store!” Probably not…. and you need to think of your account as a magazine or radio station as well… bottom line, you NEED to offer lovely content of REAL value for your followers. Mix it up, don’t blast out ads only.

The biggest thing you will do when you automate your twitter promotion is schedulingall your tweets…. you don’t need to be on there all day, you have other things to do.

2. The power of scheduling and forget… go about your day with your tweets being posted.

3. How to Follow people every day in a smart way

I suggest 10-12 tweets per day, a lovely mix of value for your followers (quotes, articles and free reports) and tweets with your business link. a 3-4 to 1 ratio is lovely… where the 1 is a tweet with your personal link

Here’s what is safe to do so you won’t get banned from Twitter: add 100-150 people a day until you get to 500 followers… than start adding 200-300 a day.. when you are around 1000, you can add 400-500/day.

The best way is to pick 1 or 2 people that relate to your business, and follow their followers.

4. Tidy it up

VERY IMPORTANT, when you get over 2000 followers: you cannot follow a quantity of people that is higher than 10% over your followers…. Example: if you have 2000 followers, you can be following over 2200 people.

Every morning, you ought to UNfollow people that are not following you back. There is no point in giving them a few days to do it. Tidy it up every day.

My first software suggestion is Hummingbird 2,a wonderful software that will automate many cool functions for you. You can google it. This is a ONE TIME fee. This can do all of the above and more for you.

The other is SocialOomph … cute name I know, this one offers a lot for free…. for all the other bells and whistles you will have to pay a small mothly fee.

I really hope this will help you get started in your Social Media adventures, to market in the best way possible, which is giving before receiving.

ClixSense lets you earn up to $5.00 for every 30 seconds you view other advertisers web-sites. Unlike a lot of networks they don’t charge you anything to get started and you can signup for free with them. If you are interested in promotion with them they charge as small as one penny per targeted visitor to your web-site.

The ClixSense Domain was registered in December of 2006. This MLM Promotion company gives you a chance to earn extra income by referring others in to their network. You ultimately get paid by viewing their advertisers web pages. Each ad you must view is 30 seconds long. The company pays you one time per month as a result of your efforts.

ClixSense is not an autosurf by it is most technical definition. Autosurfs tend to load their adverts directly in to the browser and the view doesn’t necessarily must see the ad. With this program it is great for the advertisers, since each ad has to be viewed for 30 seconds and the member has to be alert to be able to click on the next ad.
Of coursework ClixSense does have a Premium Account upgrade option available to its members. Premium members will be able to view more ads than free members can. This gives Premium Members the chance to earn lots more funds than free members. And paying advertisers have the option to only show ads to Premium Members since they would display their paid ads to customers which have proven buying power.

I can vouch for the fact that ClixSense gets a whole lot of traffic. As of the time of this review, they are in the top 4000 web-sites on Alexa which does say a lot. They even let you list your ebay auction with them to improve the chance of selling your ebay items. This company can send the funds you earned with them straight in to your paypal account. They currently pay commissions on 5 levels.

You only require to earn $10.00 before ClixSense will cut you a check. However if you require to set the amount higher, say $25.00 or $100.00 you will be allowed to do that through your back office. be aware that if you are not using a standard browser that you may not be able to view the timer frame at the top of the screen. So it is preferred you use either MSIE or Firefox when viewing your ads. Finally the company only allows one account for every household. But if you have a relative at another physical address this is all right.

Social media has proved to be a great means for getting traffic to your blog: Once you have your web-presence, in the form of a social-circle on networks such as Twitter and Facebook, you can publicise your posts by this means in addition to socially interacting.

There are plugins that you can add to a Wordpress blog, (I’m speaking from experience here.) that will aid you in doing this: They automatically send notifications of your articles to Twitter, Facebook, Ping.fm, and the like. You can also set these networks to notify other networks too.

There’s a single drawback there though, in that notifications are restricted to your own network alone. Whilst the faithful followers are notified, it can become somewhat of a cut-off clique in a sense of the phrase. Unless someone notices and retweets your tweet on Twitter, for instance, it’ll stay within your own personal following to a greater extent.

Having said all that; here’s a plugin that could get some great publicity for your Wordpress blog posts. It’s called the Tweetmeme Button. It’s a plugin for Wordpress that adds a retweet button to your blog, so that readers can retweet the main subject matter of your article on Twitter to their own social-circle.

From the plugin’s home page on wordpress.org: -

The tweetmeme button easily allows your blog to be retweeted. The button also provides a current count of how many times your story has been retweeted throughout twitter.

Features

• Integrates the ability to retweet your post with one click
• Shows the current number of times your post has been retweeted on twitter
• Allows you to specify when the button should go (e.g. top or bottom)

From the button page on the tweetmeme.com website: -

The Retweet button is for website and blog publishers that want to encourage their audience to retweet their content on twitter.

We have made our button really smart, with one simple piece of javascript we are clever enough to give you up to date tweet counts and shorten your title and link for the retweets. Best of all it will work on any web page, anywhere!”

Yes it’s not solely restricted to use with WordPress blogs. Any blog or otherwise can use it. The relevant code etc is available on this page linked here. The Wordpress plugin itself will only work on Wordpress, of course. Otherwise it’s a multi-platform sensation.

Twitzap is better than Twitter Web Interface. So far, it is the best webUI for Twitter. It is an AJAX interface app that just works with its elegant looks. It automatically refreshes your twitter stream and channels or saved searches you subscribe to, and keeps track of how many unread messages you have in each channel.

Twitzap may be compared to Tweet Grid, but of better layout and design.

Channels are the main feature of Twitzap, where @replies and direct messages are treated as channels, too, combining your incoming and outgoing DMs into one neat list. You can also quickly add trending topics to your channels from right in the sidebar. Other features including chatting over Twitzap with other users who are logged in and a retweet button for each tweet, next to favorite and reply.

The application uses the same background you had set-up for your Twitter web interface, which, honestly cause you to feel at home.

What’s the killer feature? For me, being a web app (no installation) and having the AJAX effect all throughout the app (except the numbers for followers and following) is the killer, as if I’m using TweetDeck less its huge memory resource requirement.

Buzzom is a simple Twitter tool that does the following:

• help us to randomly select users and follow them.
• help to unfollow users which are not following you and that way you can keep your following list in control.
• Buzzom also helps to follow your followers back.

Using Buzzom to unfollow a number of twitters may get you bored by the 25 per transaction limit it imposes, but at least does the job compared to twitter karma that doesn’t allow me to login after I reached the 4000th level

It is the universal sign of a new idea going mainstream: Oprah Winfrey is bestowing her endorsement on Twitter.

Oprah Winfrey

The woman who can single-handedly send a new product or book flying off the shelves has just joined Twitter. She has not yet written a tweet, but more than 30,000 followers have already signed up to follow her every 140-character thought, and the number is growing. Rumor has it she will write her first tweet on Friday, when she is dedicating her show to Twitter. (It airs at 4 p.m. Eastern time — check your local listings here for details on viewing the show in your area.)

Ashton Kutcher will be on the show, according to Oprah’s Web site. He is one of Twitter’s most active celebrity twitterers and will most likely talk about his race with CNN to be the first to get a million followers.

Maybe Evan Williams, Twitter’s chief executive, will be on the show, too. He mysteriously twittered this message Thursday morning: “Tomorrow just became a very big day. (Sorry for the teaser — more later.)” The blogs went wild. An acquisition? A partnership with Google? An update on his wife’s pregnancy?

More likely, an appearance on Oprah. Biz Stone, Twitter’s co-founder, told me that Friday’s news will be “more exciting for Ev personally but also good for Twitter.”

Oprah is already following the twitterings of both Mr. Williams and Mr. Kutcher, as well as Demi Moore, Ellen DeGeneres, Gayle King and George Stephanopoulos.

Twitter’s popularity has been soaring in the last few months — according to Compete, a Web analytics firm, Twitter had 14 million unique visitors in March, up from eight million in February.

Oprah’s blessing will surely send traffic to the stratosphere as a flood of new people discover the microblogging service. It will also test the service’s ability to handle the increased traffic — just imagine if Oprah logs on and gets the famous Fail Whale indicating that the Twitter service is overloaded.

What do AT&T, Avon and Coca-Cola all have in common? They all have a web presence using social marketing. But social marketing isn’t just for the million dollar businesses to use to promote their company.

Social marketing is for anyone and can be used successfully with just minimal amount of time and effort. Many real estate agents have turned to social marketing. Since a great deal of their potential clients have started hanging out online in social sites, those are the areas smart real estate agents as well as real estate companies are targeting.

Century 21 is one real estate company that utilizes social marketing.

Some ways social marketing can benefit agents is it helps them build an awareness of who they are. By using online videos, agents can put a face on the services they provide which in turn helps people connect more.

Why?

Because giving a face to the product or service helps to build a bridge of trust.

Agents can create webinars where they can walk clients through the steps of buying a first home, or teach experienced homeowners how to best stage their home for maximum selling potential.

Real estate agents aren’t the only ones who can use social marketing. Attorneys can benefit from creating an image and building a reputation. No matter how pressed for time an attorney is between running to court and consulting with clients, social marketing can be accomplished in a zip by using Twitter.

You can send a quick 140 character or less mini-blog update to Twitter about what’s going on in your world. You can link Twitter to your website or legal blog. It helps people see your online presence and makes you appear more approachable.

You don’t have to be a professional to benefit from social marketing. Take at home entrepreneurs who have Café Press shops. You have many avenues you can use with social marketing.

If you’re selling your graphic art images on T-shirts, you can create a Squidoo lens about your creation, then you can tweet when you see your product sample on your Café Press page, you can put content about your business on a Digg post - the possibilities are endless.

Social Marketing has also become popular among writers and best selling authors. Many use social marketing for such things as virtual book tours. They interact with fans and by doing so create a web presence and brand that helps the fan feel connected.

Those invaluable connections help fans feel like they get to ‘know’ the author, creating a relationship and that can then translate into sales.

You can sell tangible products, ideas, digital downloads, or yourself (for branding purposes) in the web 2.0 atmosphere. The possibilities are endless!

Due to the relative ease of sponsoring followers, twitter dominates compared to the traditional blogging.

Twitter is similar to blogging but accelerated and concentrated. Instead of comments, links and trackbacks, we discover new people to follow through replies, both to you and to others. If someone replies to me with an interesting comment, or if someone I am following has an interesting conversation with someone I haven’t discovered, I am more likely to follow them. People who would otherwise go unnoticed in the blogosphere have found attention far more efficiently in the Twittersphere.

This is even more pronounced and exciting when you get noticed by the topnotch Twitter movers and shakers. As in the blog world where an A-List link can boost your subscriber count, this happens much more often on Twitter. Tweets are cheap, it isn’t a big deal to fire off a message, compared to writing up a blog post, so a conversation with a big named Tweeter can drive hundreds of follows with little effort or risk on either side.

There is also the “reciprocal follow” where someone follows you so you follow them back. It doesn’t happen all the time but it is virtually unheard of in blogging.

In the case of personal blogging, Twitter has mostly taken a big chunk of the action. Before we would subscribe to the feed of people we wanted to stay in touch with. Family, friends, or just people who we found interesting. Twitter now provides the same role, with the bonus of immediacy of updates and instant interaction.
