Hashtags and #FollowFriday On Twitter

So I asked what I should write about for my blog today, and @MKJensen85 suggested:

Well since it’s Friday you can write about how #FollowFriday helps people on Twitter to build bigger networks..

That’s a great idea.

First, let me explain what #FollowFriday is on Twitter.

Share Your Twitter Success Story

This week, I had a cool experience on Twitter.

Within a 4 hour period, using Twitter, I…

  • recouped $300 selling a ticket to an event I couldn’t use while helping someone else have an incredible experience.
  • presented an idea to someone, which resulted in a 1 hour phone conversation and a soon-to-be announced training project about advanced Twitter techniques
  • scheduled a call for later on Friday to be a case study inside a major product launch coming out in a couple of weeks.

Now, these are not the first success stories of my own use of Twitter. But having all 3 happen in such a short period of time was quite remarkable.

And it got me to thinking…

Why are so many people still confused about why Twitter is such a big deal?

So help me explain it to them.

Share your success story below. I’m looking for connections made, projects developed, specific items sold, revenue generated, deals made, lives saved, charities donated to… whatever.

Networking At Internet Marketing Conferences

Recently, there’s a trend to broadcast live events via Ustream to those that can’t make it in person. This was certainly the case at JV Alert last week.

What the viewer at home doesn’t realize is 80% of the reason you go to an event is what happens between the sessions and at the end of the day. Truth is, it’s all about the networking!

I encourage you to get to an event. You learn about strategies that are working from the speakers – some you can use right away, others you store for a different phase of your business.

But between the sessions you can bounce ideas off others. It’s a great way to solidify what you’ve just learned – that “A-ha” or “Eureka” moment – before it loses steam.

Controversy Rages: 1 Click Tweets And Viral Getters

The Twitterverse is in an uproar over the semi-automated methods of attracting new followers to Twitter. Is it all spam? Or a legitimate method of gaining exposure to a wider audience? Or is there a middle ground that can keep the Twitter-purists happy while giving new Twitter users a quicker start on growing their circles of influence?

The argument centers around a few different methods of making it easier to post messages and get followers. Specifically, I’d like to get your opinion on these three methods…

  • 1 Click Tweets
  • Viral Tweets
  • Tweeter Getter

I’ll share my opinion and look forward to your comments below…

How To Give A Great Testimonial For More Traffic

So you want to catch the attention of the leading experts in your industry, right? And you want people to visit your website without having to pay for the traffic.

One way to do that is by giving a great testimonial for the products, services, and mentoring most connected to your field.

During the IM Success Cruise, my own mentor, Paulie Sabol, held a special training on how to give a great testimonial. Of course, being the geek that I am, I had my laptop and Freemind software running so I could take good notes.

I’ll show you the map in just a moment, but first, let me explain why sharing your testimonial helps you just as much (or more) than the product owner.

Is Twitter More Important Than List Building?

For the last few years, the #1 skill for building your business online has been list building.

In fact, most internet marketing teachers say without a list, you have no business. This is because it’s very difficult to sustain most online revenue models without having subscribers and customers to communicate with.

Now let’s leave that argument aside and instead debate whether Twitter is more important than list building.

The truth of the matter is, Twitter IS listbuilding. Just in a different sense of the concept. Instead of building a list of subscribers who receive email messages from you whenever you like, Twitter builds a
list of followers who are able to engage in conversation with you and your network.

This may be even more powerful than the traditional list, especially with the tendency for emails to end up getting lost in a sea of Viagra ads and bank transfer requests from the wife of the ambassador of a foreign land.

But more important than getting attention, Twitter and other social networking tools is a relationship builder, not just a list builder.

Whereas the traditional list building mentality is your subscriber list gives you access to wallets…

The new media list building mentality is your follower network gives you access to ideas, connections, market research, partnerships, and profits. This multi-directional approach is more sustainable, and honestly, a lot more fun.

What do you think? Comment below…

p.s. Later today, I’ll be asking this question of one of the leaders of social networking and new media marketing, Deb Micek.

Deb is the author of Twitter Revolution, and Secrets of Online Persuasion. She’s my guest expert to teach you about Twitter during the Discover Social Networking virtual workshop. There’s still time for you to join

Learn Facebook And Twitter Faster

You may have a feeling that social networking is a waste of time when it comes to business. Or perhaps that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., are all “kids stuff” for showing off the inane happenings of their lives.

The truth is, you’re right – if you don’t know how to properly use online social networking sites for business.

Used strategically, both Facebook and Twitter can be very effective tools for communicating your marketing messages to a larger audience. They are also excellent for connecting you with potential customers, and like-minded business people to share ideas with. You may find some viable partnerships form out of these sites.

The key aspect that makes social networking so attractive to business owners “in the know” is

How To Create Your Own Social Network For Free

Have you ever wanted to be at the center of attention, or at least be in the middle of the conversation?

You can do it when you create your own social network – and despite what you may have heard from others, you can create your own social network for free.

The tool I use is called Ning. I use it to run my IM Success Tribe mastermind and coaching program, as well as my peer-to-peer network for any of my subscribers and customers.

Not too long ago, I did a call about Ning with Scott Tousignant, who uses is for his fitness customers as well. Here’s an excerpt from that conversation:

Teaching Social Networking To Local Businesses

Sometimes I’m reminded how much fun it is to teach in front of a group of people.

Yesterday I had the opportunity (and challenge) to share my thoughts on why any business, online or offline, should be using social media for increased profits.

My talk included the following outline:

Social networking mindmap

Map made with Freemind

The complete presentation, including a few questions at the end was about 47 minutes. I took some of the pieces and created this 8 minute excerpt for you…
