TOP TOOLS & TIPS FOR TWITTER A Guide For Newbies By Kate Hartley Top Twitter Tips & Tools For Beginners (Fantastic Decoder Video) I’m a newbie to Twitter. Recently I’ve been building out the digital side of my business and I realized that I would need to harness social media in order to help to build trust around my products and the type of therapies I offer. I already had a Facebook page, so to create my Facebook fan page was a fairly simple process, but I had no idea about how to navigate Twitter nor about Twitter etiquette. The last thing I wanted to do was to create buzz about doing the wrong things at the wrong times. Why you need to listen to the Keith’s podcast!! “Crack the Twitter Code” Around 9,000 tweets are tweeted every second. That means 540,000 per minute and 780 million tweets per day! Statista.com states that in the first quarter of 2016, Twitter has over 310 million active Twitter users. These figures are huge and mean two things: (1) That I need to know how to use Twitter effectively to make the most of belonging to a massive social media platform and (2) That among all these tweets, how was I going to get my tweets seen and even better, lead to links to my website and blog, likes and retweets? The Crack the Twitter Code podcast has taught me everything I need to know about using Twitter effectively from setting up a strong bio to using tools to analyze and enhance my and...

GUEST BLOG YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS Social Media Rockstar Tip By Karen Repoli Sharing your knowledge on other peoples sites is actually a fantastic strategy to help your build your own brand. That means making sure that you create and maintain active (and mutually beneficial) relationships with influencers in your field of expertise and add value to their community. In return they will usually allow you to place links to your material at the bottom of your articles and they will share them with their “TRIBE” on Social Media. Classic “WIN/WIN” How Often Should You Post? Ideally, you should be writing something everyday or so, but if article writing is not a passion of yours, make that “as often as possible”. There are other ways to contribute as well of course (Podcasts - Videos - etc) but article writing is still a great strategy for building authority.

Five Powerful Marketing Strategies Fantastic Ways To Build Your Visibility 1. BE THE RESOURCE NOT THE SALESPERSON. Twitter is about sharing information and resources NOT selling ‘stuff’. This may sound counter-intuitive but it is the essence of Social Media marketing. 2. WRITE A STRONG BIO. One that will inspire potential clients and joint venture partners to follow you. 3. ADD A PHOTO OR COMPANY GRAPHIC. There is significant evidence to prove that people who do this get more followers and retweets 4. REMEMBER THE 80/20 RULE – IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. 4 out of 5 tweets should be of value to your followers and not sales related Only 1 out of every 5 tweets should be a sales related message. 1 out of 10 however is a far better ratio if you can manage it. 5. SHARE – SHARE –SHARE (This is Twitter 101). Share great articles and interact with your followers…this is the essence of how Twitter works.

“ENTREE - MAIN COURSE - DESSERT” “Sales Funnels” can bring your Twitter marketing strategy campaign to life. Here’s a quick & handy “HOW TO” guide!! These days, having a strategy behind your every move is absolutely necessary and when it comes to using Twitter as a marketing tool, we’re going to talk about 3 main ideas: Entrée - Something Free Here, you offer your fanbase something that’s completely free as a teaser and a way to build trust. For example, I often use an eBook to do this or a podcast series (much like this one). As for Annemarie, she calls this her irresistible giveaway that helps you to become part of someone else’s world. She uses this freebie to build her email database so that she can communicate with people to alert them to anything else she has to offer. Main Course - Something Small So, your target market has expressed interest in your freebie. It’s time to up the ante slightly with something small and affordable. This product is designed not to be big but to act as a taste test of what’s to come. I’ve used numerous methods to do this over the years including my Get Found TV series where I partnered up with someone else to help people to navigate their way through the online world. Here, Annemarie goes with a three-part webinar training series she knows provides her target market with value. Dessert - Something Fancy Now it’s time for your top-notch offering. Think of flying first class or going to Gold Class at the cinemas. By this point, your...

“TWEET IN TWENTY MINUTE CHUNKS” MAKING TWITTER DOABLE!! Twitter really is as an AMAZING marketing tool and it doesn’t have to suck up huge amounts of your time. I advise people to “TWEET IN TWENTY MINUTE CHUNKS”. If you can’t squeeze those chunks into one day (ideally, you should be spending an hour each day on Twitter), break them up over the coarse of one day or three days. Adapt the following solution to whatever suits you and you won’t look back. It’s all very VERY easy. (1) Thank people who have followed and/or retweeted you This falls into my social media 101 guide. Check who’s taken the time to follow and retweet you since the last time you jumped on. From there, thank them with a direct message or however you’d like to and follow them back. I tend to cherry pick from the list so I’ll focus on the people related to what I do. Think of a networking event: what’s more useful? Running around a room and handing 1000 business cards quickly to everyone within your reach. Or, making the time to make a few solid connections and working on the relationships with the most potential? Remember, Twitter is all about engagement. If your mobile or home phone rang, what would you do? You’d pick it up… social media is no different. Ignoring people isn’t likely to get you any brownie points. (2) Actively follow cool people Now when I say this, I mean actively follow people who haven’t yet followed you back. While you might think you’re the star...

MEASURE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE My biggest Twitter tip for newbies is this: Don’t get obsessed with how many followers you have - Focus on connections. So, how can you measure whether someone’s social media influence is legitimate and not bought? I simply look at people’s Kred score and it gives me an idea, at a quick glance, whether their social media influence is real thanks to its scoring system. www.KRED.com Using Kred to do this is an advanced concept and you may feel as though you have no need for this. ….. and that is completely fine. But if you are interested, you’ve got the tools you need at your fingertips. Let’s face it, these days, people are talking more and more about people being real and authentic. Especially in the online space where it’s so easy to be something you’re not. For those actively seeking out joint ventures, Kred is a new twist on the idea of Googling someone to find out more about them (come on, we all do it!). Another important discussion point is Twitter lists. They allow you to manage your followers and segment them into towns, cities, countries and so on. You can have 1,000k lists with up to 5,0000 people in each: most of us will never max these out so it’s virtually an unlimited resource at your disposal. Before we go, I want to give you an example of how I use lists. I know that 55 per cent of my followers are based in the US. So, I segment these followers into separate cities (Montreal, Boston, Los...

HASHTAGS (#) The Magical Ingredient On Twitter When celebrities such as Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon start talking about something, you know it’s big. The duo made a very cool video about Twitter hashtags that was so successful they decided to make a sequel. So when it comes to Twitter marketing tactics, hashtags really are that magic ingredient that makes Twitter what it is. It’s that element that has the power to change everything for you. In a nutshell, hashtags make words live and breathe in “THE TWITTERVERSE” There are 3 main ways you can use hashtags and I explain them in great detail in the podcast above: (1) POWER WORDS (2) CREATE YOUR OWN HASHTAG (3) TRENDING TOPICS In a world where there are “9,000 Tweets Every Second” on Twitter now and hashtags are a fantastic marketing tool to help you “STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD” Use it as a tool to get people to find you and from there, to follow you. They allow you to share your information with the people who really want to hear it. While Twitter has an in-built tool that’ll tell you what’s trending at any point in time, have a look at this nifty website if you’re after more detailed information: www.HASHTAGS.org You’ll be able to see what’s trending, what’s popular and look at graphs that can help you to decide what words/terms to hashtag. In my tweets, hashtags are the secret sauce, the joiner, the glue that makes Twitter stand out from its competitors. They’re a great way to spruik your next workshop, event, a new book release book and...
