How to Greatly Enhance Your Overall Twitter Experience

Twitter is all the rage this year. It is becoming more unlikely that you have not at least heard someone mention it in passing. It seems as though that everyone is getting on twitter these days. People like Oprah, and Ashton Kutcher have amassed huge followings recently. And so many are finding twitter as a very valuable tool for business.If you use Twitter on the web by itself there’s already a lot of things that you can do to promote your business.  However there are several other ways that you can enhance your Twitter experience.  In this article, you are going to discover 3 ways that you can enhance your Twitter experience.First;  Use Twitter in combination with other networking sitesThis is absolutely critical.  That’s why it is listed first.  You should never put all your eggs in one basket so to speak.  You always want to have a veriety of ways to stay connected, in case something were to happen to twitter. Such as;  What if it’s down for maintenance?  What if there are just too many tweeps on at once and you keep seeing the fail whale (that’s what happens when you can’t load twiter)?  There is a service called tweetake, which allows you to download your followers, favorites, tweets, dms, everything you need to talk to your Twitter family outside of Twitter.  I suggest you download this file from tweetake daily.  Another thing you should do is invite your friends to join you on Facebook, LinkedIn or an awesome site that will keep you very connected is Friendfeed.com. It has over 50 services that you can link and keep up with all in one place.  I also recommend putting your Facebook profile on your Twitter page as your website.  That way when people follow you on Twitter, they’ll go right to your Facebook page and follow you there too.  Find an email address for your Twitter posse so you can send emails to them.  Don’t send them commercial messages unless they sign up for your email list. That’s considered spam, so don’t be a spammer.  You can send them messages that you’d send to your friends.  It’s great to email your Twitter friends information that will help them with their business.  They’ll be extremely grateful to you for sending them wonderful information and it will seem more personal because you sent it right to them instead of blasting it to the whole Twitterverse! Your goal is to build what I am calling valuable Twitterships, I don’t know if anyone else has coined that one. It’s just ralationships on twitterSecond;  Use Twitter +twitwall to market your telecalls.Twitwall is an excellent service to use to market your telecalls.  Every Twitter user gets a twitwall.  You’d use your twitwall when you have things that are more than 140 characters to post.  You can use your twitwall to promote your telecalls very easily.  You’d just post the relevant information to the twitwall and then retweet it.  Important: Be sure to include the words please retweet in the headline when you post information about your telecall. Even though twitwall makes it easy for people to retweet your information, they won’t do it unless you tell them to most of the time.Third; Twitter + Hashtag + Tweetchat = PARTY!Another great way to get people talking about you and your business is to hold a Twitter party! Twitter parties are very easy to set up.  All you have to do is create a hashtag for your party. Basically a hashtag acts a tracker for your party. Once you decide on a hashtag, next pick a date and a time.  Then start telling everyone that’s in your Twitter family about your party and ask them to retweet the information for you. On the day of the party you can use tweetchat to follow everything everyone is saying about the party.  Tweetchat is awesome because once you go to the website and log in, it automatically inserts the hashtag and tells you how many characters you have left to tweet with.  It also allows you to momentarily stop the chat within the chat room so you can scroll back and see what was said before you enter the room.  It’s important to both participate in and throw Twitter parties because it’s a great way to get the word out about your business and you can meet new people that are interested in the same things that you are interested in.Twitter is a great tool to use to drive traffic to your website.  These things that I’ve mentioned will only improve the amount and quality of the traffic you get to your website.

A Basic Rule Applies to Maximizing Your Twitter Experience

OK. The title of this article may be a bit tongue in cheek, since I am a tremendous advocate of Twitter but if you don’t use it correctly, well, it can be just a waste of time.

What Do I Mean?

Twitter is now one of the most popular, or possibly the most popular, social networking website on the internet. Millions of people ‘tweet’ each and every day. If all you want is to find out what strangers are doing on almost a minute by minute basis, that’s fine. But if you ask me, and I know you haven’t, that a waste of time.

What you really need to do is figure out ‘the why’ about your use of Twitter. For many people today the only reason to use Twitter is to promote their online or ‘brick and mortar’ business.

Having thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Followers can be a real head trip but for the most part that is all it is. There is no chance that a majority, or even a small percentage, of these people have any real interest in what you’re tweeting. Locating targeted followers is critical when working with Twitter. There are numerous tools that can hep you find just such a targeted Twitter audience.

If you are marketing to a world wide audience Twitter is an excellent resource. However, just any audience can still be a waste of time. As mentioned, most businesses have a particular target market or audience. If that is the case with your business you need to target your Twitter market in much the same way you would target market to a live audience.

If you have a ‘brick and mortar’ business and have a world wide audience, than the same rules about targeting may still apply. However, if your business, both online or ‘brick and mortar’ is local, than reaching a world wide audience is most likely a waste of time.

If your business is ‘local’ than targeting a ‘local’ audience is what you want and need. Fortunately, there are also several online tools that can help you find local ‘Twitterers’ who may be a match for your business. Geographic targeting is very important if you plan on maximizing your Twitter experience especially if your business target market lies within a specific geographic region.

In conclusion, Twitter is by far one of the most powerful tools we have to promote our businesses online. If you have a whole bunch of time and have a tremendous desire to know what food someone on the other side of the world is eating at that very moment, than…..well, just Twitter away.

Most people, however, are now looking to use Twitter to help promote their online or ‘brick and mortar’ business. Using generalized targeting along with geographic targeting can make a tremendous difference in your success or your time on Twitter being a ‘waste of time’.
