Everyone knows Twitter has become the hottest thing online regarding social media networks.  I gave you several mistakes you shouldn’t perform if you’re going to market yourself online using social media.

In this post I’m going to give you several tips that could help you boost your presence online using Twitter. Several things are etiquette tips, others are just general marketing strategies you can use.

1) Have a good profile

The profile should have your REAL photo and a good profile description. The best ones are ones that are customer-oriented (“I want to show YOU how to make more money online”) instead of talk about themselves.

2) Take them to a landing page with an opt-in form

When people click on the URL to go to your site, you really need to have some sort of opt-in mechanism there so people can get on your list. Offer a free report, free ecourse, or audio for signing up to a newsletter.

This way you can build your list and make more money.

3) Don’t tweet 50 times a day

This is more of an etiquette issue for me, as I usually only tweet 2-3 times a day. Some people go overboard and tweet ruthlessly which can cause your audience to tune your out because they cannot keep up with your tweets! Ultimately test out what works in your market.

4) Mix up personal, helpful, and promotional tweets

If you reveal bits and pieces of yourself when you’re tweeting then your target audience could start bonding with you more.

For example if you’re a golf fanatic, then you’ll automatically bond with golfers. The more you reveal about yourself the more you’ll eventually connect with people in your target audience since you’re bound to reveal something almost everyone in your target audience will bond with.

In conclusion, Twitter is one of the best social media platforms you can use to create aa strong social media profile. However, you need to use it wisely if you’re going to get benefit from it.

One of the hottest trends in internet marketing has been the advent of Twitter. All kinds of marketers have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon and published all kinds of products that teach marketers how to monetize this social media juggernaut.

However, some people really miss the boat when it comes to their Twitter profile.  Here are several ways you can boost your Twitter presence and get more followers.

Get a nice Twitter background!

The days of having a plain-Jane twitter background are over.  If you are serious about your business you need a good Twitter background.

You can easily hire someone off one of the freelance sites like Scriptlance.com and Elance.com to create a nice Twitter background.

You should have at least your photo on the background so people can know who you are. Further you should have the following:

1) Your name

2) Your website

3) Your Facebook page (if you don’t have one get one)

4) A brief summary of who you are and what you do. This doesn’t have to be long.  Think about people who come to your profile for the first time. They want to know more about you

5) Your LinkedIn Profile page. If you are not familiar with Linkedin you can go and check it out here: www.linkedin.com

Have a good Bio!

Most people’s bio’s are really bad.  You need to have a really good bio that has a link to your website. Think of it as another way people can get to know you and follow you.

It is a good idea if you have an opt-in mechanism on your site. That way you can start building your list from your Twitter followers.

These tips alone will really boost your Twitter profile so you can start getting more followers. Believe it or not there are people who will click on your profile when browsing who is following them.

Live, Love, Laugh!
