My First Day Using Twitter for Marketing
Well, I finally broke down and started using Twitter for Marketing.
(See the Niche Titans on Twitter: @nichetitans!!!)
When I owned Link Building Bible, people had said to use Twitter for marketing purposes. To be honest, I thought micro-blogging was lame. It seemed pointless to me, and so I didn’t use it. Link Building Bible had done fine without it, and so I never considered using something I thought was lame.
Boy, was I wrong! Twitter is awesome. It allows you to find cool people who are interested in the same things as you. It’s like an RSS feedreader on crack. Yah, people use it to spam, but it’s a few quick clicks, and you can no longer follow them. I think Twitter Marketing can be very effective, if you can find a balance between making a connection with others and promoting your stuff.
Another great Twitter marketing tool is simply helping people who throw out questions on Twitter. I forgot how I came across his Twitter account, but @tabpierce asked a simple question, and I contacted him, and answered it. Then something amazing happened. He thanked me to all of his followers, including my Twitter page. Well, I’ve had like 6-7 of his followers already start following me! Even further, one of them said they subscribed to this blog! (Thanks @sherryness!) See how it could possibly go viral?
Stay tuned for some great Twitter tools that I have found that I use. Subscribe to the blog below so you don’t miss out on those!

Hi,
Count me in as a new user and Tab Pierce follower. It DOES work. (And don’t forget networking for our next employment opportunity) Being in Silly-Con Valley, i’m surprised, what a sales effort it’s taking to get the message across!
Happy Holidays!

I’m wondering how other companies “find a balance between making a connection with others and promoting [their] stuff” on Twitter.
Good Post! Hey I have just published a twitter marketing guide and am looking for a few bloggers to give an unbiased, honest review of it. I was wondering if you – or any of your readers – would like to review my guide? My product can be found at twitteruniverse.info and goes ‘live’ through paydotcom on 20th September. Just send me an email (beepy1968@yahoo.co.uk) with UNIVERSE in the subject line before 20th Sept 09. And I’ll send you over a copy for review. Many thanks, Bryan
