How To Write An Interesting Tweet
How To Write An Interesting Tweet
Have you ever wondered what the secret is to writing good tweets that will result in your link being clicked?
The importance of learning how to write a good tweet should not be under estimated. No matter how interesting the page is that you want to send your followers to, unless you have an eye catching tweet, you will get a very low click through rate to the site.
I have great success with getting people to click through on my links. I have received over 13,000 clicks through to a site in seven days.
What’s the secret??
Here are some tips I recommend:
1Write in a non obtrusive way
2Do not make it sound like a sales pitch
3Grab your followers attention and peak their interest
4Make it sound like there could be an interesting article to follow
5If possible, make it funny so that it will be retweeted also for a viral effect!
6Write about topical subjects such as big celebrity bust ups or major news!
An example of a tweet I used for the Subliminal Power product (http://www.bit.ly/L5tln) was “People fear public speaking more than death! At a funeral, people would rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy! ”. It’s the subtle differences that can make the difference of 1 sale a week to 50 sales a week to the same followers purely by getting people to click into the sales pitch or other.

10 Ways to Promote Your Facebook Page
1. Promote your page with a widget
It sounds easy enough but I can’t tell you how many people still don’t do this. You can integrate facebook with your site using the “Like” widget. People who visit your blog won’t know that you have a fan page until you tell. Don’t miss out on this prime opportunity to convert your blog readers into facebook fans!
This discussion can lead to opening the doors to a higher level of customer service that you might not have otherwise had.
If you don’t have a LinkedIn profile, you should get one. Linkedin is one of the best ways to network on a global basis and draw business to your company.
Don’t be afraid to include a call to action as well, something like: “Join me in the facebook flow facebook page!
When all is said and done, think outside the box. Facebook Flow has a facebook page and even I have a Facebook Fan Page. What is your facebook page? Let us know in the comments below and feel free to share your tips for getting more people to join your page!
2. Put up a featured discussion in your LinkedIn group
If you don’t have a LinkedIn group for your industry, make one. It’s your way to demonstrate your expertise, thereby driving business to your company.This discussion can lead to opening the doors to a higher level of customer service that you might not have otherwise had.
3. Link to your Facebook page on your LinkedIn profile
One of the best places to promote your facebook page is in the description of your current position. When you describe your position and the company, put a hyperlink to the fan page at the bottom of the description.If you don’t have a LinkedIn profile, you should get one. Linkedin is one of the best ways to network on a global basis and draw business to your company.
4. Put your Facebook page on all printed (Outbound) Marketing
You wouldn’t send out marketing without your company name would you? So don’t forget a mention of your facebook page. All it takes is one line in a prominent location.5. Put your Facebook page on all Social Media (Inbound) Marketing
The same reasons apply here as your Outbound Marketing. It’s a way of “covering all your bases” and making sure that you reach the widest group of people possible. A great way to do this is by sending a tweet out every so often on Twitter asking your followers to also become your fans.6. Leverage your video blog
Video blogs are also one of the hottest ways to connect with clients and prospects. YouTube allows you to annotate your video with links that you can use to link back to your facebook page. If your video starts to gain traction on YouTube this link can translate to significant inbound traffic to your fan page.7. Link to your facebook page from your info box
It makes me sad to see the many people that fail to use this valuable facebook real estate for any good. Instead why not throw a link in there to your facebook page.
Don’t be afraid to include a call to action as well, something like: “Join me in the facebook flow facebook page!
8. Email your way there
Build awareness about your facebook page in your email signature by include a hyperlink to your fan page. Now every person you email will have a link to your facebook page, and over time you this will effect an increase your fan base.9. Create a welcome tab for your facebook page
To create a landing page for your facebook page you will need to know some basic html, and you will need to use the static fbml app.10. Let your website do the talking
You’re already adding value to your company website by having a blog section, so up the ante and mention your fan page directly within your content. Don’t be afraid to come right out and ask people to join your facebook page. By the way, you really should join the facebookflow fan page. When all is said and done, think outside the box.

Multiple Accounts on Twitter
Most people using Twitter only have one account. They assume that further accounts are not allowed by the Twitter rules. To a certain degree they are right but it is possible to open multiple twitter accounts without having them banned or taken down.
So why would anyone require more than one Twitter account? Firstly because Twitter limits the speed at which you can actively grow your Followers, you may have a desire to increase the number of Followers by opening second and third accounts. In fact if you study twitter carefully you will see that a number of internet marketers have many more accounts than this, often, I've heard into the tens or even hundreds!
If you try this it is likely you'll get banned or eventually lose the accounts. A great deal of care is taken by these people in initially establishing different names, aliases, different bios and often different websites so there is apparently no link to the accounts at all even though they are operating in the same niche.
Under these circumstances Twitter will still eventually catch them because in order to service a large number of accounts it is likely that these marketers are using automatic programs for adding followers or flushing unresponsive followers. It is also likely that these accounts have unrealistic numbers of tweets, indicating that even the tweeting is fully automated. These are all clues which the people at Twitter notice.
One of the easiest links for them to make is through the internet marketers IP address. This can also be overcome by using VPNs or Identity Cloaking devices where different IP addresses are used by the software.
The second reason, not frowned upon by Twitter is that you need a second account as you wish to operate in an entirely unrelated niche, which would not be of interest to your current following who are following you because of things they have in common with you. Although in this circumstance you will need to create a new nickname and provide a separate email address, you need not alter your real name or you bio, you may be relieved to learn.

How does an internet business work?
So what exactly is an online business? This is obviously very important to grasp and not necessarily that clear. The idea of making money online sounds like a great idea and we know it is possible because we see and hear about others who are doing very well. So what is actually happening? We hear about affiliate commissions and traffic and a database of subscribers but what are the factors that bring all this together? I thought it might be helpful to get a clear insight into what we are trying to achieve and how we go about it.
Our aim, initially, having chosen a niche market is to look at our online business like a high street business. We are looking to solve problems for people with either a product or a service and get paid as a result. On the high street we aim to get people through the door with the aid of our shop front and various marketing strategies; we then help them once they have engaged with us. It is the same with an online business but instead of physically having them in our presence we invite them to subscribe with us so we can build a long term relationship to continually offer value and service.
We are aiming to use Social Media to find people who have specific problems or needs and then drive them to us so they can benefit from our products. We will be using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. We will also be using Google because through Social Media we will become a dominant presence.
Once we have generated the traffic we then invite them to our squeeze page or an optin. A what?! This is a website with just one page that usually offers some free products or invites people to leave their details in the boxes. An optin or squeeze page is very easy to create and I can help you to do this. It includes a YouTube video. Here is mine as an example –
This in turn will then build our database of subscribers and this is the main objective. Getting people through the door. In return for continuing to provide value and great products, our database will provide us with a consistent monthly income.
A website or a blog similar to this will be our shop front. From here we can sell products and offer help and advice in our particular niche or market and also create another chance for people to leave their name and email. Once we begin to build a database of subscribers we will need somewhere to not only store them but also to enable us to communicate via email. This will be using an auto responder such as GetResponse which is free for our first 100 people and responds automatically to people as they join our list.
All of the above is a system we use to drive traffic to our business and what I have described so far is all of very minimal cost. The final step is to then sell our products and services. If we don’t have our own products we can sell other peoples products and get a commission on the sales. Digital market places such as Clickbank offer a wide range of products in all niches and is easy to use.
So as a simple overview this is in essence what we are trying to create. I hope this is helpful and I look forward to any questions or comments you have.
Action, learning and persistence equals success!
