What NOT to do on Twitter!
/ 2
I wish people would not use Twitter as if it is an advertising billboard. You won't get the sales you want but you will get frustrated when you don't get the results that you want! I get several new people following me every day on twitter, but unless they have interesting tweets related to the niche I follow with my twitter account I'm not going to follow them back. It's kind of like getting a bunch of Viagra e-mails in your inbox!
Why would I not follow them back? Because their not tweeting about what interests me. And to see practically nothing but affiliate links on someone's Twitter page, is not at all interesting, no way am I following them.
People don't go to Twitter to 'buy stuff' and Twitter is not a one stop shopping mall. People log on to Twitter to socialize or perhaps they will just watch a twitterer's page that they find interesting. I am not saying they won't buy. But people get together be it on-line or face-to-face to talk about the things they are mutually interested in.
Now if while talking/tweeting to somebody about something that is a common interest, they just might take you up on your 'recommendation' concerning a product or service.
Many of the followers I get are very obviously affiliate marketers. It's easy enough to tell. You look at a page of about 20 of their tweets and 19, or maybe even all 20, of them are affiliate offers.
To use Twitter make money you need to get people to follow you. You do this by tweeting information and discussing things that are of a common interest (a niche), not tweeting affiliate offers.
The typical twitter page as about 20 tweets on it. It's one thing if 2 to 4 of the 20 tweets are affiliate offers but to blast out 20 out of 20 tweets with affiliate offers is not likely to produce the results that you want.
Twitter is a "Social Networking" site, so if you want to monetize on it you have to do some socializing!
To use Twitter in a manner that is consistent with what Mr. Morrison teaches you need to get quality tweets that relate to a particular niche on your Twitter page.
Use Google Alerts to get the right information from the Internet. When you setup a Google Alert you use the search options just the same way as you would use google.com to search the web for information. This is how you get niche related information. So you need to get good at using Google to search the Internet.
Here is info on using Google to search the Internet.
You can really make the most of Google using this info.
Then use Twitterfeed to get that information to your twitter page.
You can then download and install Tweetdeck on your computer and use it to create and schedule affiliate offer tweets to your twitter page.
But don't think that is all it takes. Log on to twitter and tweet about the niche your promoting. Maybe someone tweeted about a problem they are having related to your niche. Come up with a solution and tweet it, don't just DM them, and they may retweet your solution to all of their followers. Some of which might start following you, especially if you can be seen as an authority or expert in that niche.
Also, find other twitters that are interested in the same niche and follow them, if they like your tweets they may follow you as well. When you see tweets from those you are following and it seems like good information for the niche your promoting then retweet it.
Retweeting shows you are a participant, someone that is active and interested in the niche and not just some 'techy' that can send stuff to his/her twitter page.
