Twitter Domination & Twitter BlogRoll
Twitter is a great tool to use for Internet Marketing as well as great fun to use as well. Why? Well since I’ve got my number of Twitter followers to over 1000 it has accounted for a significant amount fo additional traffic to my website. If you use Twitter to build up good relationships with your followers then I have found many will take an interest in what you are up to on your Blog.
I rarely advertise directly my Blog URL in my Twitter posts, but obviously a lot of people go to my profile where they can then click through to my blog. I urge you to get involved with Twitter. I didn’t get it at first! But I stuck at it and now see the power and potential of it. Here is the tutorial video I promised all Alex Jeffreys Students (but open to everyone of course!) that covers the basics of Twitter plus more advanced topics and some great tools I have found that allowed me to build up my presence in super quick time. You can do it too. Remember it boosts your traffic.
Since recording the video I have just found an even better tool to manage Twitter that is in beta mode at the moment but it is awesome. Please go to the end of the post for more details after viewing the video.
(Click the FAQ page above to find the resources listed in the video)
I’d really appreciate if you left your feedback on the video so please drop me a comment. Good or Bad, I don’t mind as it helps me for when I do my next tutorial video. Now what shall I do that on, hmmmm …. any requests?
The great new tool I have found is called TweetDeck. It is like a control panel for Twitter that allows you to group your followers into separate display sections on the screen as well as having many other very useful features too. It offers far, far more functionality than the standard Twitter home page and better still it is FREE. I am slowly creating a group in TweetDeck that has all the Alex Jeffreys Students (the F500) in one place so that it makes it easy to track and communicate with you separate from all my other Twitter Followers. If you want to follow me on Twitter then click here or little ‘birdie’ on the top right hand-side of my blog page.!!
If you are on Twitter and part of the F500 group then please add a comment with your Twitter-ID on and I can compile a central list (bit like a Twitter BlogRoll) and I can then make it available to everyone so that it makes it easier to communicate via Twitter within the group. So please add your Twitter ID and of course any feedback as well. I’d love to here from everyone, Alex Jeffreys students or not.
Look forward to all the F500 getting on Twitter. Well, I have approaching 300 on my Alex Jeffreys Student BlogRoll so maybe we can aim for that first!!

@Michael,
The video competition I believed finished yesterday but as we all know Alex is away in Florida at moment so we will have to wait until he gets back to know who as won.
Hey Garry, I noticed you added my name to your Twitter list page but my link does not go to my Twitter page.
After looking at your source code you need to add the double quotes ” after my link name. This should fix the link problem.
Sorry to bother you, I just want the link to work. Thanks for offering so much value to your blog and for us Alex Jeffreys students.

Hi Garry
Will Watch your video shortly. Whilst reading through the comments I also had the TV on and the BBC ONE SHOW has just done a feature on Twitter, the two main presenters say they haven’t a clue about twitter although I feel that might change in the near future.

I have just watched the video and enjoyed it. I found that Twitter Karma would not work properly when I passed the 1,000 mark for people I was following and as Friend or Follow was so slow in removing those who were not following me back I found an alternative called Less Friends.
I did a post on my blog about Less Friends and mentioned the post on the Fortunate 500 and in a Tweet.
From one of my blog plugins I noticed that a number of visitors to my site clicked the link to Less Friends and I presume are now using it.
I shall try out the other twitter tools you mentioned and see what happens.

Hi Garry,
I’ve created a post on my blog for everyone on ‘How To Get Traffic Using Twitter’.
I’m also giving away a FREE ebook on how to get started with using Twitter - for all the newbies having difficulty. It clearly explains step-by-step the right way to create & setup your own Twitter account and make the best use of Twitter.
You can also give it away yourself - use it to build your own list or as a freebie to your customers as a valuable bonus.
Twitter is a great way to get free publicity about you and your products. It’s had a lot of UK media attention recently with BBC TV and radio presenters being on Twitter. Jonathon Ross, Stephen Fry, Philip Schofield, Stephen Fry and Chris Moyles to name afew.
It’s a great way to build with relationships with other people and get almost immediate access to your peers in your niche for networking.
I highly recommend you take advantage of this Web 2.0 resource. I’ve used it to generate sales already and grow a list of over 2,100 followers.
To your success,
Dave
