MUST HAVE Twitter tools to gain more followers!

Part One- Let's Just be Friends

This is the first in a series of articles explaining how to use twitter to drive traffic to any kind of web page. The first few post in this series are going to cover little known twitter tools that are totally free to everyone. All these tools are considered essential to me if you want to utilize twitter to it's fullest potential and we all know that it is about potential.

First some basic information. Twitter is a social networking site, probably the most popular one at the moment. Everyone has a Twitter account, all your friends, celebrities using it, millions of people every day. Twitter is a great marketing tool for your business because right now there looks to be no end in sight for this network. Popularity is just increasing everyday. However I am sure many of you who keep up with the industry know there was a recent study done that states 40.55% of all Tweets are "pointless babble" and I fear that it may be true. I think it is our mission as the next generation of Internet/Twitter Marketers to stand out from this crowd of pointless babble and I will show you how to not only stand out but be ON TOP.

So what do you as a marketer have to do to use this amazing network of people to drive people, customers, to your website or blog using twitter? For those who have not joined the 21st century and do not have a twitter account signing up for one is easy. Just go to www.twitter.com and click the sign up button. You will want to look around and find a customized background to make your twitter account different than others. You will also want to add a web page and a good bio, but I will cover those in my next twitter blog post.

Social media is the future of the business, what business you ask yourself; ALL business. The statement: You are who you know has always been true now that network and your ability to know people has expanded a million fold right before your cyber eyes. Remember the key to this new future is SOCIAL media. So today I leave you with a quote from one of my favorite authors, Jeffrey Gitomer, he says “To climb the ladder of success you don't need more techniques and strategies, you need more friends.”

Review: 16 Articles from a Single Keyword

Do you ever wonder how other professional writers manage to turn out 10-15 articles a day? They tell us all that article marketing is one of the big money makers and explain that it is one of the best ways to get traffic to your web page. But they leave out the part on how to write that many article a day and not get burned out or run out of ideas.

I once thought it was some hidden “occult” secret that you were not told until you had penetrated their holy article writing temple or something. But now I know it is easy to do and have discovered the secret formula that lies behind the article generation and it all accomplished,

  • Easily and with little effort!

  • Without any content writing software!

  • This entire system uses just a single keyword, so this system is very scalable. Many keywords = Many more articles!

Well one way is to spin as many articles as you can from the same amount of research. If you are like me and asking yourself what exactly does that mean and how to do it, I have an answer for you.

I am talking about the report, “16 Articles from a Single Keyword” released by: Brad Carroll on his blog, http://webcontentwriting.info/kevin it is THE answer to all my problems and I know it will solve many of yours.

I am at the point in my job that I have to write 3-5 articles a day and that does not include my own article marketing campaign. Don't get me wrong I love writing, but I also have wanted something to make it easier, and to avoid burnout. Now after all the searching I think I have found a way.

I have read so many how to get over writer's block articles, but as a article writer, writer's block is not exactly what the problem is. As a professional article marketer we are given X amount of research and information about our niche and then we have to turn that into what seems like countless articles and blog post. Well this step-by-step report will show you just how to do that quickly and with ease.

Also with this report also comes information on how to sign up for his Free e-course that give some examples on each type of article he discusses in the report and also expanded amounts of up-to date material.

This article was also written using the secret formula unleashed in this amazing report. I think Brad's techniques are an indispensable tool in any blogger's arsenal.

I encourage all my readers to give this report a try because I think you will find it an indispensable part of your blogging and article marketing arsenal.

All about the Customer !

"The reality is no salesperson on the planet makes every sale. But that doesn't mean that you should ever, ever, ever walk into a sale with anything less than a feeling of certainty that you will make the sale because the customer needs you, and that you are the best."

-The Sales Bible by Jeffrey Gitomer

I am new to this field, but I know a lot of people already established have not read their Gitomer, because if they had a lot of them would have a much better attitude than they do. What we have to face boys and girls is that this whole field, and I don't just mean Internet marketing, I am talking here about the broad spectrum of sales and marketing, is all about the customer. We must get into their mind set we must know, not just think but KNOW, that they need what we have to sell.

Everyone is so worried about how their sales page looks or what widgets look good on their blog or if they have twittered enough for the day, that they don't stop to examine how they approach the customer, because we must remember this lifestyle we are leading, this game we are playing is all about them, so I think we must begin everyday thinking how can we appear better to them, how can we get in their mind a little better, how can we engage the customer better today.

I am, and I think we all should, enter into this with a positive attitude and know that we are giving the customer exactly what they want. And if we get lucky and they do not know exactly what they want then we have to show them what they want and how it can benefit their lives, all our lives. As a challenge I would like to see the many different techniques all of you use to enter the customer's mindset. And to end this on a note from Mr. Gitomer we have to show them that it is “not the lowest price, but the best value.”
