One of the first steps in using Twitter to improve your blog is to “listen“ to other people
by reading their updates. A lot of new Twitter marketers make the mistake of posting too much aboutthemselves and not responding or paying attention to others.
As long as you keep in mind that Twitter is a social tool and not just a traffic machine, you‘ll be able to keep things in perspective and pay attention to others.
Interact with other people, answer their questions and ask them questions back. This way you can become part of the community.
There‘s also another good reason for paying attention to what other people have to say on Twitter. If youadd a lot of people to your follow list who are in your niche, pay attention to their problems, theirquestions and the type of things that they share.
This can all be part of your niche research and you can incorporate what you find there in your blog or inthe form of a new product. You‘ll find that your Twitter account can be a treasure trove for blog postideas.
You can use the information that you find on Twitter to create blog posts that meet the needs of yourreadership. You can also address specific questions or concerns. You‘ll be surprised at what a great brainstorming tool your Twitter account can be. You‘ll read someone‘s update and then it will get thewheels turning for a blog post, or even a series of blog posts.
Another important aspect with using Twitter effectively is to be useful to your followers. The informationthat you post should be relevant, helpful and interesting. Set yourself
apart from the crowd by finding interesting news stories that relate to your niche. Post
tips related to your blog. But don‘t forget to be personal and connect with your followers.
Be sure to ask lots of questions! When you ask questions of your followers, you‘ll get a chance to hearwhat they have to say. Asking questions is a great way to source information for blog posts, or just toget to know those who are following you.
Sometimes Twitter functions like a water cooler at work. Don‘t be afraid to have fun with your questions.
Another benefit of asking questions is that when people respond, it‘s like free advertising. They will replyto your question with the @ symbol and your user name. Other people
who are following them but not you will see your user name and may join your followers list.
Be sure that you get readers from your blog to follow your Twitter feeds. There are widgets that you canadd to the sidebar of your blog and you can remind people in your posts to follow you on Twitter. Youcan also add a Twitter badge to your blog for the purpose of getting your most recent tweets to appear inyour blog‘s sidebar.
Here is a simple way you can do this. You can post a new tweet automatically containing the title of yourblog posts along with a link from Twitter to your most recent blog entry.
You can do all of this for free using a service called TwitterFeed. Here‘s thesite to go to: www.TwitterFeed.com
All you have to do is setup an account and pop in your blog‘s feed URL, and enter your
Twitter info. It‘s really as simple as that…
One of the best blogging platforms to use is WordPress but this can be done with just about any blogthat allows customization. Here‘s a link to one of the top wordpress widget plug ins to add tweets toyour blog: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-widget/
You just simply download the widget, upload it to your wordpress plugins folder and configure it inyour wordpress admin panel. This will allow you to add some fresh content to your blog on a prettyregular basis since Twitter makes it easy to update.
Insider Secret Tip: You can make more sales and gain more followers by thinking ‘out
of the box’ with Twitter by using a moving avatar. Have it showing you smiling and waving at you and getspeople’s attention.
