1. 10 Ways To Use Twitter To
Market Yourself Or Business

2. Twitter is an excellent internet marketing
tool when used correctly. These 10 ways
to use Twitter will help you get the
results you are looking for.
It will take some time to build up your
followers so don't look at Twitter as a
quick fix.

3. 1. The best way to gain followers on
Twitter is by sharing information that is
valuable and/or entertaining. If you send
your followers to crappy articles they will
unfollow you or just ignore your posts
altogether.
Either way you lose.

4. 2. Another way to use Twitter is by using
hashtags to get your tweets seen by
more people. I need to do a better job of
this. But you also have the other extreme
of an entire tweet being nothing but
hashtags.
See how the most popular people you
follow use hashtags.

5. 3. Twitter can be great way to get traffic
to your blog or website. I share links to
my blog everyday. The key is you just
can't send tweets that always send
people to your blog or website.
Mix it up. Send readers to articles on
other sites and blogs.
Find things to tweet about other than
just your niche every now and then

6. 4. Reply to as many tweets of people
that follow you as you can. If they ask
you a question be sure to follow up.
Reply to the tweets of popular Twitter
users. If you reply with something
interesting and others read it you can
pick up additional followers.

7. 5. Some business people connect their
Twitter account to their LinkedIn
account. I have not personally done that.
I like to keep my stuff separate.
I don't want everything I put Twitter to
show up on LinkedIn or vice versa. Just
me being such a private person. I don't
connect Twitter to Facebook either for
the same reason. You have to decide
how you want to do this.

8. 6. I touched on this a little bit earlier but
always respond to anyone that responds
to your messages. I check the connect
tab to see if anyone has responded to my
tweets at least once a day.
I am also looking to see who retweeted
my tweets. I try to send a thank you to
as many as I can. That way hopefully
they will retweet some more of my stuff.
Having your tweets retweeted is a great
way to gain a few followers.

9. 7. You want to make it clear to everyone
that you are a real person. You can do
this by following up and retweeting. Also
you can use Twitter to let people know
about seminars and workshops that are
happening online and offline.

10. 8. Don't always be about business on
Twitter. Check Google News to see if
there are some interesting things to let
your followers know about. Quotes are
always good. Everyone likes quotes.
I do book reviews on my blog and I will
take interesting quotes from the books
and use them on Twitter.

11. 9. Don't go crazy tweeting. I will unfollow
someone in a heartbeat that sends out
10 tweets in a minute or two. Usually
these are promoting 10 different
products. It's crazy, don't do that.
I can't give you the correct number to
send out each day because there is not
one. But 10 tweets in a minute is not the
way to do it.

12. For one thing you want as many people
as possible to see your tweets. The best
way to do this is to space your tweets
out. People are using Twitter at different
times of the day.

13. 10. One last tool to that I have started
using lately is Just Retweet. There is a
free and paid version JustRetweet.
Doesn't matter which one you use. You
can get people to retweet your tweets
based on a points system. You can get
points by retweeting other people's
tweets or you can buy points.
Just go check it out. I have picked up lots
of new followers since I started using it.
But don't retweet crazy stuff just to get
points.

14. There are probably many other ways to
use Twitter that I have missed. There are
a ton of paid tools you can use. I have
about 15,000 followers and I got most of
them the old fashioned way, one at a
time. Following others... Putting out good
tweets...Getting them to follow me from
my blog...retweeting other tweets...
getting other people to retweet me, etc.
