One very good tip here, is to limit your advertising tweets to around maybe 10% of your overall twitter output, and allow the rest to be friendly, helpful and informative with no obvious immediate financial benefit to you should someone be tempted to click upon any link contained within the tweet.

Hi Mark,

Great post with practical and current advice to follow. I am using most of the recommended approaches, except the links and hash tags. I am not making full use of these tools – and as we all know sometimes it’s that extra effort or small percentage improvement that puts you ahead of the pack.

Thanks for sharing.

Good tips. I used these and they work for me. Twitter should come with an instruction manual like this one. It is all good common sense but so many people skip many of these steps!

Loans with Bad Credit Rating — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:58:07 +0000

There’s a friend of mine who’s very poor, with very bad credit. There’s a good chance that I won’t be at the end of the month. I have an idea on how I can help him pay for college (an estimated $90,000 for the entire bachelor’s degree) while making a few extra dollars on the side. Since he has bad credit, it will be very hard for him to get a student loan. Staffords may help, but they aren’t a be-all, end-all. So, instead, I’ll offer him a contract where I pay for his college, and he pays me $600 a month, for 240 months, after college. Essentially, I’m becoming his student loan creditor, when no one else will! Of course, what I don’t tell him is that I will turn right around at sell the contract (which, for me, is an accounts receivable) for 80% of its total value.

Thank you for a great post. You are right…it’s so hard to get into twitter when no body seems to care about what you do. I will try to follow your suggestions and maybe I’ll become more successful at it.

Great tips and worthy of practicing. I’ve gained new subscribers, visitors and followers when posting helpful links for others or even sharing news items that are helpful or informational. :)

Hey Mark! This is actually a really helpful article. I have found many if these tips to be true. I think the biggest helpful tip I have gotten about Twitter is BE PERSONABLE! I think there is something to be said about having collaborative relationships and not sending spam or self-promotion. UGH!!

There is also a balance between RT others, helpful links, and self-promotion – in that order. I hardly ever promote my blog because I find it uncomfortable to self-promote. But, if I create a post that ppl may actually BE INTERESTED in, I will Tweet it. But, I also promote others much more. Thanks for the article… I will be looking for you on Twitter ;)

It’s a wonderful tips I think but I am not sure that our follower will always click our link’s update and as a newbie there’s no a reason to try these, well done!

I am unsure how trusting people still are of clicking links on Twitter. With the amount of spam on there it’s worrying. Though, I guess it all depends on whether your followers are your target market. If they are, they would expect it. :)

Twitter is great for some traffic. If they follow you then you will get traffic just ask nick stewart who has like 300 followers but half of them visit his website when he has a new article up.

Sounds like excellent advice. I am implementing the blog idea today. I have had some success with one of the traffic exchanges I use converting to sales but am looking for additional ways to drum up targeted traffic, and it looks like you have some good suggestions. Thanks a bunch.
