Beginners Guide To Twitter

The most common question asked by people is by far "how do I use Twitter?" This is due to the amount of people joining or planning to use this social networking platform increasing exponentially on a daily basis.

Twitter has become such a big player in the mainstream that people cannot resist finding out what all the fuss is about. However, a good majority of people hoping to join Twitter have little or no idea about how to use it. This article hopes to cover some of the basic concepts regarding using Twitter.

Opening An Account

To join any social networking platform, you first have to open an account. When it comes to Twitter, it?s all a matter of going to Twitter.com and following the prompts to complete the signup process. You simply need an email address (which most already do) and the rest is relatively simple. Once you have opened an account, don?t forget to add an appropriate photo and colors that reflect your tastes and preferences.

To Tweet or not to Tweet

Once you start to get the hang of Twitter, you will find it hard not to tweet. Tweeting is basically Twitter language for sending a message to all your followers. Make sure your messages relate to the profile you want to build on Twitter. If it?s inappropriate or not very useful (such as spam) then your followers will not like it one bit. The best way to get a loyal bunch of followers is by consistently providing good content. Tweet carefully and with purpose.

Follow Me, Follow You

The whole essence of Twitter revolves around following other people. It would be wise to only follow those people who share your interests. Otherwise, you will have to put up with uninteresting tweets. In addition, the best to get people to follow you back is to follow them first. If you share your love on Twitter, then some of that love will come back to you.

The most important thing to remember is that Twitter is not very difficult to use. As with all things, it?s hard at first, but then with a bit of persistence, you will become a Twitter expert. If you remain committed to making the most out of this social networking platform, then the result would be an increased knowledge of Twitter to the point that you will be in a position to teach others.

The methods of Social Media Optimization include adding RSS feeds, social news buttons, blogging, and incorporating third-party community functionalities like images and videos.

Social media optimization is in a number of ways connected as a technique to viral marketing where word of mouth is created not through friends or family but through the use of networking in social book marking, video and photo sharing websites. This online concept aims to bring together ideas and display information that could benefit the organization in terms of its popularity and overall increase in customers. In a similar way the engagement with blogs achieves the same by sharing content through the use of RSS in the blogosphere and special blog search engines. Social Media optimization is considered an integral part of an online reputation management (ORM) or Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM) strategy for organizations or individuals who care about their online presence. A lot of people have started to interact through blogs, especially discussing issues that concern them. This has thus created a social network against groups of people and helps in sharing data as well. Social Media Optimization (SMO) is not only limited to marketing and brand building. Increasingly smart businesses are integrating social media participation as part of their knowledge management strategy (i.e. product/service development, recruiting, employee engagement and turnover, brand building, customer satisfaction and relations, business development and more). Firms often save up on their cost because they are conducting a number of tasks simultaneously through search engines and websites with the help of Social Media Optimization. There are a number of functions that it provides; therefore quite a few goals of the organization can be achieved through Social Media Optimization.

Google Ad sense and other merchants

Have discussed about using Google Ad sense and other merchants affiliate programs to generate profits from your blog. However, here are even more options to monetize your blog.

The first option well be looking at is Chetek. What is Chetek you ask Chetek is a very innovative contextual advertising program because it can serve very detailed advertisements to your blog that fit perfectly with your blog theme. For example, on your technological gadget blog, Chetek will show advertisements for tech gadgets such as pods. They show them in different tabs: one for Best Deals, another for Details, another for Reviews and so on. This way, it is more of an informational section for your visitor rather than a blatant advertisement, and naturally the click through will be higher. You can apply at chitika.com

You can also be an affiliate for Amazon.com. Amazon offers a wide range of products but its predominant niche is in physical books. And, like Ad sense, you can select Ad blocks that display products that fit your blog perfectly. Whatever your niche is about, you can probably find a book about it on Amazon.com. Keep in mind though, they do NOT pay big bucks. You can refer visitors to them and earn up to 10% commission. Its not a lot but if you can manage to refer big volumes of visitors, Amazon is for you. This program really shines when it comes to the ways you can refer visitors: you can use their predefined templates to pull up recent items that match a certain criteria you set, you can target your ad to show a specific item on sale or you can just simply weave your referral links into your blog posts. Every dime helps so join their Associate program if you are into selling hard and soft cover books.

Last, but definitely not least, you can sell advertising space on your blog if your blog is truly popular. Just take a look at blogs like: xiaxue.blogspot.com. That blog receives over 10,000 page views every day and naturally merchants will want to strike a deal with the blog s owner to post their advertisements there. If you manage to pull in huge amounts of traffic like that blog, you can definitely get people to buy ad space on your blog for prices from $150/month upwards, depending on your blog popularity.

To gauge how many page views and visitors you get everyday, just use the free tool available at statcounter.com. They have a very detailed setup guide there so I won not go into it.

If your blog has not acquired a large amount of visitors yet, you can still sell ad space on your blog on a per click or per impression basis. Just visit sites like: adbrite.com. For a complete list of these sites, visit: performancing.com.

This is just one in a 6 part series that should help you drive readers to your blog and maximize earnings and profits from your blog Yes, it is possible to quit your day job through blogging. All that stands between you and freedom is working smarter, and sometimes harder, towards your goal. Its a balance. Eventually, after you have worked harder, you will be able to work smarter.

I edit 15 blogs. It took 6 months of learning and working harder before I was able to work smarter and begin making extra income.

I did not jump on every offer and rejected those marketers who claimed I could make overnight riches with no work on my part. In fact, I have spent less than $100.00! You can do this too
