Know Why No One Retweets You?

Do You follow the 20% Rule on Twitter?

Do you? The 20% rule that says your tweets on Twitter shouldn’t have links back to your own content less than 20% of the time. That’s an interesting concept. One that most who complain about not having their content retweeted might want to sit up and notice.

Most of the time, I find content that I like to share with my followers that can enhance their lives either personally or professionally. My passion is marketing, so I’m always reading articles from companies that offer an interesting twist or insight on mobile marketing or social media marketing. If I find something relevant,I’ll post it.

But,many people are just ‘shouting’on Twitter. Shouting their affiliate links like they are throwing something against the wall hoping it sticks. Yeah,it probably works sometimes,because there is always that percentage of impulsive shoppers,who if you catch at the right time on the right day,they will make a purchase without thinking.

But,the key is,if you post it on Twitter and they make an impulsive buying decision,will they turn into repeat buyers. Or more importantly,will they share your link so you can earn more business?

Probably not.

Most of my business associates refuse to use Twitter because they have yet to find the value in it. They don’t understand that you can use Twitter Search (www.twitter.com/search) to target your audience and speak to them personally.

Similar to searching on Google,you can use the modifier ‘-‘and place that in front of ‘http’—which means you want to find tweets that do not contain links. It would look like this: -http; then add the keyword you want to target,if it is a location,place the keyword ‘St Louis’ or ‘STL’;then to further refine your search,add the word ‘nearby.’

This is how your search string would appear:

-http “STL” nearby

Doing this will retrieve all the tweets about St. Louis from users who are in the St. Louis area. You can try this strategy with any keyword you are targeting.

Try it, see how it works.

Twitter or any other social media network is not difficult to use,you just have to take time to learn HOW to use it.

Hey,comment below and give me your feedback. Let me know if it works for you,or you have another

Article Writing and the Email Marketer

You have got to have an opt-in list if you are an email marketer. There simply is no other choice. After Congress passed the CAN SPAM Act and it became law in 2004, you cannot legally send bulk marketing emails without the express consent of the recipients. If you do, you will be fined heavily. The law provides fines for up to $11,000 per incident. So...there you have it! You either have an opt-in list or you will have to find another way to make a living. One of the best ways to build your opt-in list is to write and market articles. Each time an article that you have written and submitted to an article bank for use by other website owners and ezine publishers, every name on their lists are exposed to a link to your website. If the articles are good and filled with relevant information, they can produce much traffic and many new opt-in subscribers. It isn't hard to write a marketable article. Marketable articles are short...only 300 to 400 words. The key ingredients...

Are You Successful Because of God, or Is It You?

I just read this article published by Marketo, titled: "The God Complex and the Importance of Trial and Error, " written by Jason Miller, it discussed a scenario where a company which wants to make detergent discovers how using a process of trial and error. The gist of the article summizes to create the theory which states do successful people have a God complex in which they refuse to believe, no matter the situation, that their way of thinking, their ideas are wrong regardless of the "complexity of the situation." Let me tell you why that article sticks out to me. I have been marketing successfully and unsuccessfully at times on the internet since 2001. I've had my super successful times as well as times when I've just plain walked away from projects. There was a period where internet marketing programs paid my bills for three years and financed lavish vacations to the Caribbean and other wonderful places many people...
