Twusted Twitter Twools and Twips

Why is everyone talking about Twitter?

Is this just a phase or will this be the next form of interaction to replace our blogs?

Today, many media social networkers are twalking or twyping with a form of speech impediment. But this is no speech impediment…this is the new world of Twitter.

Twitter is a VERY popular FREE micro-social network. A service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages (no longer than 140 characters). http://www.twitter.com

Twitter Tips

See your Twitter profile page…

1.) Bio – Most followers will read the one-line bio under “SETTINGS”. Include a direct link to a profile page rather than sending them to the homepage profile.

Example:

View profile of Jo Van @Prempromotions – Int Promo Manager. http://bit.ly/2UV7y

2.) Follow-up: Investigate your followers. Send a direct message.

Example:

Ty for following. I’m a Sask. Gal, runs my own Internet Promo business at: http://bit.ly/6aCh3 and personal blog at: http://bit.ly/pGGZX

3.) Feeds: A simple feed that allows your twitter post to automatically show up on your blog or website is by clicking on “SETTINGS”, scrolling down to “MORE INFO URL” and clicking on the “BLUE LINK – YOU CAN ALSO ADD TWITTER TO YOUR SITE HERE” and just follow the steps.

4.) Promote: Advertise your @prempromotions where ever and all over. Include your twitter link to your signature, add comments on twitter discussions, and leave a direct message with others who are following you.

A writer must conquer all obstacles.

> You must build an author platform that stands out from the rest.

> Target an audience suited to your niche or genre.

> Generate traffic (Friends/fans) back to your site.

> Display a fabulous site, highlighting you and your books. (Do not forget the visible button to purchase your book).

Take heed to the above tools, sites and tips.

Only when you continuously add a ‘w’ after the ‘t’ will you know you’ve been Tweeting a tad too long…lol.
