I am the first to tell you that there is no magic bullet to marketing your business on the Internet, but Twitter can make a big impact when used effectively.  I outline how to effectively use Twitter to market any niche in my 7 MLM Web Secrets Files that you can download free. The information is written for Network Marketers, but easily applies to anything you want to market online.

Here are 6 quick tips and rules to help you get started on Twitter:

  1. Use your name as your Twitter account name.
     
  2. Upload a picture of you, smiling. (Vital!)
     
  3. Create yourself a free Twitter background. Twitbacks is a good option.  When you get to the point that you need a custom background, I suggest: CustomTwit.com
     
  4. Before you follow anyone, post a minimum of 5 tweets. Make them interesting, using other people’s socially proven content. If you don’t have a WordPress Marketing Hub set up yet, simply link directly to the article.
     
  5. Follow no more than 50 people a day until you have 500 people following you, then follow no more than 10% of the the people that follow you. For example, if you have 1,000 followers, you should not follow more than 100 people day.
  6. Start by following people who follow leaders within your niche. For example, you can be sure that my followers are mostly Network Marketers interested in marketing their business on the Internet. If I were you, I would start by following some of my followers. Be sure to follow me first.
