When I started studying marketing online, I went through tons of information, and overwhelmed, etc…. We all know that. After quite some mistakes and $$$$ wasted ( expensive lessons, but still lessons…) I took some twitter courses, as I could see that Twitter is a Must-Work-With for online marketers.

Those first courses showed me how to use twitter, basically, and how to grow my list of followers fast.
I didn’t tell me what I discovered later, in a webinar with my marketing system company, which is THE information that we need to know and apply, to make TWITTER works for us,  as a FREE LEAD GENERATION  tool.
As long as we just do the basics, it’s just a regular fun Social Networking site, but not yet a tool used to generate traffic really.

Here is what we want to know and implement to make our twitter account effective, with appropriate strategy:

First, download Tweetdeck on your computer, which you’ll need to use for fasten your daily tasks. TweetDeck.com,and download Tweetlater – SocialOomph – which you’ll use to schedule your daily blocks of posts,
(free softwares) .

Then, the principle is this:
We need to send 5 to 10 posts at once, in the same lap of time, in order to be seen widely on a piece of page of twitter. You can see that this is the way people get noticed. If we send a post , separated from others by many people’s posts, we never get noticed neither read. If we can align 4 or 5 at least in a raw, it’s different visually , isn’t it? That’s what we look for: be noticed first.

Second, we want to post good, attractive, valuable, fun content, like a video picked from Youtube, an article from another site, a quote as usual, news that are amusing or surprising, and this content we get it from the places that I tell you below.

Third, we want to gather those different tweets to post,5 to 10 at once, on the Tweetlater software,  do program them for such a time in the day, and let it work on its own.
This way, you can choose to work on twitter each other day only, and schedule the automatic postings at the date and time that you choose (I tell you also what are the best time)

Fourth, we need the other free software downloaded : http://tinyurl.com in order to shorten the URLs that we want the followers to click on.

The tasks :

Gather daily contents, prepare a block of 4 to 8/10 posts on stickies, or a notepad on your desktop:
What to post :

– one or 2 great quotes ( google “quotes” and find the sites that inspire you to copy from) or create your quote!

- 2 to 4 “news” on any subject, not all the time about marketing or networking. Look at in your followers what are different interests of them, and pick articles on those topics.
Where to pick articles, news, etc…..

I recommend those sites:

http://alltop.com

This second site is more specific, speaking of pre-tested stuff, and it has quite some good tips about SEO.

- a tweetback from someone you know: pick an article from a site-group on Facebook, from a blog you you like and link with, use the software Tweetback.

- 1 to 3  videos that you pick on Youtube: go to the site, search for c category, and choose a chocking beautiful video, a motivational video music, or speach, or inspirational video, songs, presentation, etc…. be creative.

- pictures, to illustrate a short story, or just a great picture and promote his author.

- 1 to 2 articles, picked from e-zines articles or other publication sites, and link it to your blog.

- ONE promotional message, linked to your blog, or your primary business site.

ex: ” stop loosing money on …..and start earning daily , visit: tinyurl.com…..(your site, shortened url with the online software.

How to post:

* Post daily, at the best time to each the biggest audience:
EST  7.00 to 8.00 am
7.00 to 9.00 pm
1.00 to 2.00 pm

* Use SocialOomp ( former Tweetlater) , to gather your posts in blocks, and send the post all at once , in seconds, so that they are seen with your repeated picture on the page.

* Retweet some of your followers tweets, which you find of good interest, while you’re here

* and  answer to at least 5 direct messages daily.

When you have set those tasks into a routine, it should take 30 to 40 min a day maximum, to achieve, and this is FREE TARGETED LEADS GENERATION on line.
