How to Get Clients on Twitter
by Biana Babinsky

You have probably heard the buzz that Twitter is receiving. Many business owners are joining Twitter, but quite a few are not sure how to use Twitter and how to promote their business on Twitter in order to get results.

Lately, I have been hearing from many clients asking me how to use Twitter and how to get results on Twitter. Here are five tips for you to help you get more clients on Twitter:

- Use Twitter To Research Your Target Market. One of the biggest benefits that Twitter provides business owners is the ability to connect with your target market and hear what your target market is talking about.

One of the biggest challenges that business owners face is not knowing what they target market needs. At Twitter you are able to listen to your target market, see what kind of issues your target market is experiencing and what kind of help your target market needs.

Once you have this information, there are many things you can do with it. You can write articles and blog posts with the information that your target market needs. You can create a service based on the information you have received. You can offer a teleseminar on a topic that your target market is interested in.

By just doing your research and understanding what your target market is looking for, you are going to get clients on Twitter!

- Build Your List. I am sure that you know that the bigger your list, the more successful your business is. Use Twitter to build your list by sharing information about your free gift and your newsletter with your followers. Don’t promote your newsletter and your free gift all the time, but it’s perfectly fine to mention your offers from time to time.

- Build Relationships With People You Meet On Twitter. People buy from people they know, like and trust. Don’t just promote yourself all the time. Get to know your contacts and they will get to know you.

For example, on Twitter, spend 80-90% of your twits to help others, share useful content and network. Limit promotion to 10-20% of the time. When you do this, more people will follow you and more people will want to get to know you, which will translate into more subscribers over time.

- Blog And Share Your Blog Posts On Twitter. Sharing your blog posts is another great way to demonstrate your expertise to your target market. And you don’t even have to share your posts manually. There are tools that will automatically check your blog and post your blog post to Twitter automatically.

All you need to do is to set it up and your blog posts will be shared with your followers every time you have a new blog post.

- Offer Events And Teleseminars. A great way to invite more people to your list is to offer an event and invite your Twitter contacts to join you for the event.

Just set up a teleseminar on a topic that your target market is interested in and let people on Twitter know about it. You will get more teleseminar attendants that way.

Take action on at least one of these tips today and start using Twitter to build your list, get clients and promote your business!

Using Video to Drive Traffic to Your Website – 9 Tips to Help You Get Started
by DeAnna Troupe

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you have noticed that videos are all the rage online. After you read this article, you’ll have some tips to get you started marketing your website with this awesome tool.

1. Be brief. People on the Internet have a notoriously short attention span. 5 minutes is the longest you should go. Also most sites have a limit on how much space your media can take up.

2. Be sure to use music that isn’t copyrighted. Just go to Google and type in podsafe music to find music that you can use.

3. Use content that will interest the types of people you want to visit your website. If your site is about real estate something about dancing wouldn’t get you the best results (unless of course the people dancing are realtors).

4. Be sure to write down what you want to say in your presentation. You don’t have to write everything down verbatim. Just make a few notes so you don’t forget the key points that you want to address.

5. Tell everybody you know about your video. Post it on twitter, post it to your blog, post in to Facebook, post your content wherever people let you post visual media.

6. Always start of with your name. It’s best to assume that the people watching your visual presentation are seeing you for the first time. Even if people have subscribed to your channel and seen you more than once, if you repeat your name people will remember who you are more.

7. Always mention your website. I know this seems pretty obvious, but it’s worth mentioning. I know most of you probably put the website in your profile. That’s a good start. Always, always mention your url in your video. This way if someone likes what they see and decides to embed it in their site, you get traffic from that piece. It’s important to be able to get traffic from your masterpiece no matter where it is being viewed from.

8. Whenever possible name drop. In other words, be sure to mention the names of experts in your work of art if these people are directly related to what you’re doing. Maybe this particular expert inspired you to create videos in the first place. This will add to your credibility and possibly draw the attention of the particular expert you’re mentioning.

9. Don’t just focus on YouTube. I know YouTube is the granddaddy of all video sharing sites, but you should consider other sites.

Visual presentations are a great way to get people to your website. It’s important that you use your name at least once in each presentation you record. Also be sure to mention your url at least once in the video.
