Well, strait to the point, Twitter is a micro-blogging service, where you post updates / Tweets in 140 character format about what ever you want. Some people will find your Tweets interesting and start following you and every word you say, or vice versa and you stalk them and read all about their Tweets.

It’s great for keeping in touch with friends and family, but there is more about Twitter than you know. Especially if your interested in Twitter marketing, your Twitter business, to targeted Twitter users.

I SAID, WAS I? Ya that’s what I thought…

So any who, lets talk about some Twitter applications that can help automate Twitter and Twitter streamline your productivity.

Well, my lovely lil reader, this section is done, but thankfully there’s one more to fill you up, and Trust ME when I say:

“Your Twitter success and Twitter Life are on the line if you don’t watch video #4”

 

OK, so now that you got to know Twitter, how to market and streamline,

it’s time for a Twitter warning about “The Darker Side of Twitter”, and it can be vicious.

So Twitter is almost like someone you met at the bar. You saw them from across the room checked em’out (Vid#1). You start the small talk, a little flirting, eventually building up a rapport, hoping to take them home for some hot and heavy sex (Vid# 2.1/2.2) Then you start buying them drinks, to get them smashed and increase your chances of getting lucky (Vid #3)

But, after all your A-game spittin, $100 worth of drinks, and hard work, you start to notice a couple things,

This person drinks like a fish and they’re not even buzzed. And they turn out to be one of those people who knows they’re good looking enough to get free drinks, but has no intention of EVER hooking up with you.

ARRRGGGHHH!!!!

And after all your hard work, just to wind up frustrated, broke, and left alone to do your own private “Happy-Ending”. WTF…

Well, this is essentially what Twitter can due to your Twitter productivity if your not careful. It’s known as the ”Twitter Effect”

Twitter can be very addictive, and you can end up wasting a lot of time if you don’t know how to “Grab Twitter By The Wings”.

I’ve discovered a couple of techniques that can help tame this Twitter beast, and help you not only see results, but a huge increase in your productivity.

OK, first things first you want to set a strict Twitter scheduler and stick to it. For your Twitter schedule:

1. Only go on Twitter 2 – 3 times a day max.

2. Never spend more than 25 minutes at at time on Twitter

3. Only go on to Twitter with a specific Twitter purpose (To add new followers, Tweet content, reply to your Tweeps, etc…)

Following these three steps, will ensure that you give yourself just enough time to be productive, and not slack off.

Secondly, and most importantly (For any type of marketing) You need to Test/Track/Tweak everything you do on twitter.

1. Test out different ways of posting Tweets (Yelling, Questions, to even just describing your perfect Sunday, etc…)

2. Track what Tweets are getting the most love and being spread virally like an STD

3. Tweak whats working, and make that Shit better, son…

And now this concludes this Twitter broadcast. Hopefully I learned you up real good on how to achieve Twitter Success on this here blog post thingy.

“This is Tim Scott signing off, you stay classy Twitter fans…”
