How to Take Over Twitter

Today, I’d like to introduce you to our guest author, Harris Fellman. Harris recently launched CoupDeTwitter – a course on how to properly get started with twitter, get lots of followers, and turn those followers into cash.

He is by no means a Social Media Purist, but still he teaches what he considers the “right way” to interact on Twitter & other Social Media platforms (hint: it ain’t by spamming people your offers). Harris has a number of years of success in the internet marketing realm and I feel very honored to have him as a guest author today.

With that … here’s Harris’ blog post entitled “How to Take Over Twitter”:

It’s everywhere. From blogs to newspapers to books at Barnes and Noble. And it’s loud. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet.

It’s Twitter. And whether you like it or not (yet) it’s going to be around in some form or another for a long time I suspect. Might as well get used to it, right?

A couple of months ago I was in the same boat many of you might be in right now, wondering whether all this Twitter madness was of any use to me at all or whether it was just a bunch of noise, literally. But I started to hear a lot of Twitter related stories and talked to people that I personally know who were using it in ways that I hadn’t considered before.

And the lightbulb finally went off for me. There was some serious power in Twitter! People were not only using Twitter to make connections and network with others, they were making money too. Some of them making LOTS of it as I came to find out.

The biggest thing that stood out for me is this…

From a marketing perspective, Twitter = Listbuilding. Plain and simple. Proper listbuilding is all about building a list AND building relationships with the people on that list. And in many cases the people I was talking to confided in me that their Twitter contacts were more responsive than even their e-mail lists were. As a long time email marketer, I was pretty shocked. But I started doing research and I discovered several truths that I want to share with you.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to go about using Twitter, and some rules of thumb to keep in mind along the way. But there are several crucial steps you’ll want to take note of.
Here’s how this works:

1. Get followers. Sounds simple right? But there’s a lot of stuff out there that will make you think you can just automate the process and be done with it. BEWARE, Twitter is watching. If you do it wrong, you’re sunk. Account Suspended. Tweet no more.

2. Build a relationship with your followers. Yes, that’s right, you’re going to need to start talking with your followers! You want to treat them like you would anyone you might meet at any other social gathering, stipulating that you’re not at a professional wrestling event and everyone is already yelling at one another. <G>

3. Get them Clicking & ReTweeting. Once you build that relationship with them you want to encourage (gently) them to start clicking links you provide with items of interest and most of all to get them Retweeting your posts. Why? Because the *real* power of Twitter is NOT in your own list of followers. Nope. The real power is in the power of the exponent. If you give things of value to the Twitterverse, the Twitterverse will return the favor… Tenfold.

4. Last but not least. You want to make money right? Of course you do. Once you’ve completed steps one through three, there are a ton of ways that you can start to monetize your followers…their followers and their followers followers. But also beware: Twitter spam is on the rise and people are becoming wary of anyone who just jumps into the pool and starts shouting Marco Polo at the top of their lungs. You have to be very careful to craft your Tweets so that people are still getting maximum value from you.

4 seemingly simple steps, and they’re not rocket science, but they do take some finesse and time to do properly. If you’d like to learn more about how to properly implement these 4 steps, I welcome you to join me and my Coup De Twitter system. It will teach you how to do Twitter the RIGHT way as well as 7 easy ways to make money with it plus a handful of advanced tactics as well.

Do you know where you want to go? Is your internet marketing business the vehicle to get you there? Starting a business is a lot like driving a car from one place to another. First you need a car then you need a map of how to get there. If you wanted to drive from Virgina to Washington State what would you need? You would need adequate money for gas, food, lodging and a good reliable car. That is not a lot different than what you need to build an internet marketing business. In both cases after you have gotten the basics you need a plan or a map to get you to the destination.

What do you need to start an internet marketing business or to just sell some stuff on line:

• You need a computer.
• You need an internet connection.
• You need motivation.
• You need a plan.

It is safe to assume that you have the first two if you are reading this.  The next two depend upon you.  First you must look deep down into your soul and determine if this thing is for you.  There are a lot of sites out there to help you decide.  I would advise you to look for the fee stuff about being an entrepreneur.  Look for the characteristic that define a business owner.  No matter how you slice it if you are going to succeed on line you will be a business owner.

Do you have these qualities:

• A deep seated need to achieve.
• Self motivated and a self starter.
• Are you action oriented?
• Does achieving a goal motivate you?
• Can you be persuasive?
• Are you resourceful?
• Are you tenacious and persistent.  (My kids call me stubborn).
• Are you resilient–do you bounce well from setbacks?
• Are you tolerant of the unknown?  Can you do new things without someone to hold your hand?

Take a careful look at these items before you decide to be an entrepreneur.  These traits plus a computer and an internet connection are your vehicle to internet success.  If you have these basic items then you need a plan.  There are lots of people out there willing to sell you a plan including my self.  However I am not going to give you a link to a plan to buy that will make you an instant millionaire.  There ain’t no magic plan–trust me.  This is like any other business you put in your time, energy and some money to earn the reward.  Think about these things and we will discuss methods to build a plan in another post.

If you are smart? You will follow this link to a free internet marketing training site and plan.  I was supposed to put up a squeeze page before I gave you the link to this site.  MAGIC BUTTON Click the magic button now!!

What is an Internet Business

by

Charles L. Evans

Hi, This Bud Evans your Benton City Redneck Marketer. Today we are going to discuss What an internet business is and what it means to you.

The simple definition of an internet business is: “Any web based activity that generates revenue or a return for you.” This is my definition. This can be money which we all like, It can be customers for a brick and mortar business. Internet products can be digital such as movies, ebooks and reports. Hard goods are also sold over the internet.

Generally an internet business contains these Parts:

• A web site. This may be a blog or a static web site consisting of multiple pages.

• A method to collect payment–generally credit card service or PayPal.

• A plan to generate traffic

• Your personal computer

• Software to generate the web site.

• Knowledge to put it all together.

If this sound like a lot of work. It is. If you thought that you were going to click your mouse a couple of times and be instantly rich then close this video right now. I can’t help you. If you are still interested then follow the link to my pages and get some great free stuff to get you started.  Just click the MAGIC BUTTON.  This is an example of an affiliate link.

A favorite way to do business on the internet is eBay. Almost anything can be bought or sold through eBay. Many people use eBay to supplement their income or generate an other income stream. For many eBay has grow to be a full time business.

A second favorite business is affiliate marketing. When you sell another persons product via the internet you become their “affiliate.” Generally you promote and sell the product while the “product owner” takes care of the payment and delivery. It usually works something like this. You put a web page on the internet that promotes a product. When some one “clicks through ” (clicks to go to the affiliate sale page) a computer code is generated that tells the owner that you have sent a customer. If the customer buys the product then the product owner will pay you the agreed percentage of the purchase price.

Then that page is promoted–advertise, made visible to as many people as possible. This is accomplished by many different methods. This is called traffic generation. Just like the store downtown you need to get people in your front door.

There are lots ow ways that the internet is used to market. I use several methods to “sell” my brick and mortar repair business.

• Videos about automobile maintenance.

• A web site.

• Yellow page and internet telephone ads.

• Articles posted on the internet.

As you can see internet marketing is a large subject. Don’t visit this web site if you know every thing about internet marketing, if you don’t here is a great place to start for the beginner or the advance marketer.  MAGIC BUTTON

HOW TO FIND A WEB BASED BUSINESS

OR

EVEN SAVE YOUR BRICK AND MORTAR STORE.

BY Charles L. Evans

I have spent the last three year of my spare time investigating and trying to build various internet businesses. You would not believe the dollars I have wasted and more importantly the time. If you really want to see how foolish I was you can buy the report for $39.95. I recommend that you don’t buy it although it would have saved me thousands of dollars a couple of years ago.

There are thousand of articles and course on the web to tell you how to build an internet business. They cost for a few dollars to 10’s of thousands of dollars. Some are good some are not. Why spend a lot of money to find out what you all ready know. My advise is to look for a free course or ebook to start out. Even if you have a lot of experience on the web you need to read this book. Free Book.

Harvey Segal really out did him self on this free ebook called The Ultimate Super Tip. It include these amazing sections.

• How to sell any product.

• The Ingenious Twist

• Tools (To help you get started)

In addition for 10 bucks he supplies all the tools you need to build an internet business. I bought a tool similar to Super Rebrander and paid nearly $100 for it. The tools you need all come in this 10 dollar package. You would need to be really stupid not to check this out. Follow this link to the Magic Button.
