Internet Marketing For Small Business

Here are some more Twitter tools and tips to help you get tweeting.

I use Tweetdeck.com to organize all my Twitters.

I search Twitter with search.twitter.com. Search for your subject, your name, your company’s name, your competitors’ names etc. to see what people are talking about. Start talking with them, and building relationships.

You can also search for hashtags on Twemes. Hashtags are a tagging system on Twitter where you put a # in front of any word you like. They are kind of like Technorati tags that way.

Use #hashtags to groupd your tweets on one subject. More info on how to use hashtags here.

Use RT – this means ReTweet – to take someone else’s Twitter post and send it to your followers. To use it just add RT to the top of your tweet, followed by @originalsendername, and their original message.

RT @originalsendername original message

Search Twitter users bios on Tweepsearch. Find people in your industry or genre to befriend.

Share photos on Twitter with Twitpic.

Check out popular videos on Tweetube. Share videos on Twitter with Tweetube. 

Why did someone unfollow you? Check out Tweet Effect to find out which of your Twitter updates might be responsible for people following or leaving you.

TweetLater is an excellent tool for Twitter automation. You can automatically follow those that follow you – and send an intro message with it. Some marketing experts say this is the best way to build authority. Others disagree. Your choice. Tweetlater also lets you program your tweets to send at specific times, though I think that’s kinda crummy. You’re not in a dialogue if you’re not there.
