How to Use Twitter Effectively

Twitter is a great free source for promoting yourself, your company or for starting an online business .

Twitter :: A  great source of information and news.

Twitter :: A great place to socialise.

Twitter   :: Is addictive, profitable, and difficult to see the point of it for beginners.

This article is written in 3 sections, one for beginners, the second for people with few followers, and the third for people wanting to make money with Twitter .

1 For Beginners .

Twitter has been described as a ”Mini  Blogging Platform” I think the best way to describe it is as “An Open Text to the world”

You can set up a personal or business Twitter account or both   here, you will be joining 80 mill other Twitter users. You will need a username, and an email account. The first thing you have to decide is whether any body can read your tweets, this is what most people do, or whether to make your tweets ‘private’. If you wish to send tweets just to your friends, you should click the tab to make your tweets private. For instance, if you want to keep in touch with your old school friends, who may be spread worldwide. Apart from  customising your twitter background easily and for free, this is all you need to read. There are other sites for free backgrounds, with this one, if you sign in with your twitter account, it is only 1 simple click to upload your new background. You might recognise one of them on my twitter account .

If you want your Twitter site to be seen by thousands of people or have a business Twitter account, and want  thousands of  targeted followers there is a little forward planning to be done before you start.

           2 Increase your followers at super speed.

Lets assume first of all you are going to have a personal twitter account, which you can make money from, that is, you are going to sell something using your Twitter followers as potential customers. If you don’t have a web site to do this, the easiest way is as an affiliate. [More about this later] There are affiliate sites for everything; Amazon was the first company to use affiliates successfully. You are paid a small commission on the sales of people you send to your affiliate site. You get paid on your referrals subsequent sales, even if they by pass your twitter account and go direct to the affiliate site. Commissions vary from a few pennies to several hundred dollars. These are usually paid through you pay pal account. Even if you only have one twitter account and several affiliate accounts, you can still make money, and your business can be run on Tweetadder
