GETTING BACK TO THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF TWITTER MARKETING
In today’s podcast episode, I’ve decided that I need to get back to the basics of Twitter marketing for business owners and sales professionals. The night I recorded this podcast, I received about 25 new follows on Twitter from various marketers and business owners. 25 out of 25 of these new business followers were absolutely failing the test of grabbing my attention and engaging me. I saw so many basic violations of fundamental Twitter marketing, I decided I needed to devote an entire podcast to the basics of Twitter business marketing.
In this 10-minute podcast, I give several examples of some of the things you do NOT want to do if you are a business trying to make an impression on the Twitter community. When you violate some of these fundamental marketing rules, you turn people off. It can be hard, if not impossible, to reverse the effects of a negative first impression. With that in mind, it is very important for you to take heed to the advice given in this podcast if you are new to Twitter marketing. I hope you find this helpful, and as always, if you have any questions or would like to comment on the topic, you are welcomed to share your input and opinion on the blog post below!
For my local friends in Jefferson City and Columbia, Missouri, don’t forget about my free audio CD offer for February, 2010. I’m giving way copies of my social media marketing seminar CD entitled “The Seven Secrets of Revolutionizing Your Business Through Social Media Marketing” just for the asking. Contact me via Twitter or just give me a call to request your copy, and I will personally deliver it to your place of business. If you’d like, I will even shoot a video interview and feature your business on my blog!
Excited about your success in marketing,

Carlton, I couldn’t agree with you enough. The thing about Twitter is, it can do two things for you, it can either build your presence or destroy your presence and the methods you talk about that people are making a mistake on is the quickest way to tarnish their presence.
I’m glad you created this audio because this is the basic but MOST important part of having your twitter account, people look at your profile URL, your profile bio, your background and how much followers you have to create that 1st impression, you don’t want them to see your account as a possible spam or halfway effort account on their first impression.
People have to remember one thing, twitter is a relationship platform first, when you tweet your followers see your picture and name repeatedly, do you want them to go to your profile with a outdated pic, or a default twitter background? Brand you and put effort into your twitter profile first, and then watch how much more people follow and respect you.
Great audio Carlton
