I just finished reading a new report by Walter M. Prorok Jr. and Chris Vendilli. Inside this report Walt & Chris talk about the in’s & out’s of configuring your Twitter account along with some free third party services to maximize your traffic & exposure.

I was skeptical at first, but after reading through the report and watching a couple of the videos available at their website I must say, I’m pretty impressed.

Why Social Media

There are two good reasons to use social media.

One is that when you create a profile, article, link, tag, or other content people can see it.  If interest is sparked they will visit your website.  Thats called “organic” traffic.  They then become fans, subscribers and customers.

The second reason social media is good is.  Whenever you build a website in a social media environment and you add content that links back to your blog, the search engines see that link.  The more the search engines see those links to your blog, the higher your blog will be ranked and the higher they will be in the listings.  The more backlinks, as they are called, the better.

Why Twitter Can’t Replace a Blog

Micro-blogging is a good thing and using Twitter makes it even better.

However, Twitter will never take the place of a blog. The bottom line is that Twitter is not a full fledge blog. It is simply a way for you to get your words out to the masses in a more expedient manner. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons Twitter will never replace a blog.

Setting Up a Twitter Feed on Your Blog

Twitter seems to be a major buzz word and you know what? It should be because it is a good way to reach your audience and gain a whole new audience. You can use your blog to garner the power of Twitter for more traffic, sales, and valued relationships.

We already know when blogs are optimized correctly they are great for bringing in traffic and generating sales. That is why you need to hook up with Twitter. While Twitter is not a full fledge blog, it is a micro-blogging tool that allows you to instantly let people know what it is that you are doing.

Popular Twitter Plug-ins for WordPress Blogs

 

WordPress is one of the main choices for a blogging platform on the Internet today. Twitter has quickly become the hottest micro-blogging application. So can you imagine what occurs when the two meet and marry? A partnership that creates a most wonderful thing – that’s what!

Well, maybe not wonderful but then again it all depends on how you look at it. With the proper plug-ins you can create an awesome social networking tool since both Twitter and WordPress are both strong contenders in the social media arena. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Twitter plug-ins that you can use on your WordPress blog to create a social power house match made in heaven.

What Makes Twitter so Hot?

What Makes Twitter so Hot?
Oh Twitter how I love thee! Although you might not hear those exact words said very often online, you know it’s true when you login to your Twitter account or visit someone’s blog. With the emergence of WordPress plug-ins like “TwitThis” and the various twitter badges found on numerous blogs throughout the Internet, it is obvious people adore Twitter. Just what is it that makes this social networking site so lovable? Let’s find out.

The question posed by Twitter, “What are you doing?” has become almost as popular as AOL’s “You’ve got mail.” So much so that it has even caught the eye of offline news mediums such as USA Today, CNN, and ABC. This helps to make the application popular all on its own. Those who think Twitter is just a place for computer or Internet geeks can rest assured it’s nothing of the sort.

Joint Venture Giveaways Will Build Your List

Hey hows your New Year looking?

Anyone who has followed this blog knows that I have been writing frequently about using JV Giveaways to build a list quickly.  I promise you I am not blowing smoke…

My fellow ‘Fortunate 500′ take a look at the documentation you received from our mentor Alex Jeffreys.  He tells us that JV Giveaways have a major part in his success. 

I am a contributor to two JV Giveaways right now.  They are my first and second.  And I can honestly say that I am very impressed with the results. 

Build a List Using Joint Venture Giveaways

Sometimes internet marketers join together to give freebies to their opt-in lists and to give opportunity to each joint venture partner to build their own opt-in list.

It works like this, each joint venture partner has a squeeze page associated with a free gift they are offering in the giveaway event.  All of these gifts are listed on one site.  Each partner emails links for site to their own opt-in list.  Then the members of those lists go to the site and click on a free offer. They are taken to the squeeze page where they supply their name and email address to receive the free gift.
