There are dozens of Twitter Marketing Tools available that will search the entire Twitter database and retrieve those Twitter users based on your search query. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the two main tools I use to find the major Twitter users in my niche markets are Tweet Spinner and Follower Wonk. These Twitter marketing tools let me search for Twitter users based on keywords found int their Tweets or keywords that are contained within their Twitter Bio.

Knowing this technique is used by millions of Twitter users to find “like-minded” individuals in a specific niche market, then doesn’t it make sense for you to modify YOUR Twitter profile using the prominent keywords in your niche market so that your Twitter profile can be easily found (and followed) based on these keywords?

The answer is: YES.

Here’s a screen shot of the profiles I alternate every 6 hours on Twitter. I do this so that my Twitter Profile is identified with a variety of keywords in my niche markets. I set the Tweet Spinner API to change / rotate my Twitter Bio profile every six hours. In the 6 weeks I’ve been testing this feature of Tweet Spinner, I’ve noticed that I am getting almost 4 times the reciprocal follow rate as I did when I was doing this manually. Give it a try and track how much faster your Twitter follower count grows.

Here’s how it Works

1. Insert the URL you want listed next to the WEB field
2. Insert your Twitter Bio description you want to insert
3. Tell Tweet Spinner how often you want to Rotate Your Twitter Bio
4. That’s it – All Done

Recommended Tools to Accomplish this Task:

• Follower Wonk

• Tweet Spinner

• Market Samurai

• Micro Niche Finder

• YouTube Twitter Marketing

Use Yahoo Answers to Generate an Insane Amount Traffic to your Website.

When these visitors come to your website, they are confident about your product and they are ready to pull their credit cards out of their wallets.

I recently attended the Social Media Money System webinar. I was one of 12,000 people on this call. My objective for being on the call was to learn more about these FOUR things:

What is Social Media Marketing?

What are the Best Social Media Tools?

What is best Social Media Marketing Software?

How can I use Social Media to help Promote My Business?

The moderators were two well known guys who (if you keep score by dollars & cents) are Rock Stars! The statement was made that by the end of this 90 minutes teleseminar, I was going to know more about Social Media Marketing than 99% of the people who actively participate in the Social Media wave.  In retrospect, I’m not so sure I know more than 99% of the people out there, but I did come away with some good info I can use to improve my social media persona and just as importantly, how to contribute to my social media network in a meaningful way.

THE DO’S and DONT’S OF SOCIAL MEDIA

I took copious notes during this 90 minute call, I hit the screen capture button more than thirty times and after reviewing my notes, I documented a few dozen key lessons from this event. In some ways, the things I learned NOT to do were as valuable as learning what I should be doing. For example, I learned that Social Media Marketing is NOT about posting a Click Here Affiliate Link every 30 seconds on Twitter. I learned that it’s critical to establish a casual and mutually beneficial relationship with your Twitter followers and your YouTube Fans loooong before you try and get them to “Buy My Stuff” or subscribe to your newsletter.

THE SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING PLATFORM

There seemed to be an over simplification of what the key Social Media platforms to be involved with. The main speaker kept referring to his concept of the “Triangulation” of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube all pointing back to his Money Page (his Word Press Blog) when in reality, the social media platform includes a few dozen properties. The diagram below shows just how expansive the social media platform really is and it will probably be twice as large one year from now.

TOP 10 SOCIAL MEDIA SITES

Twitter

Facebook

YouTube

USTREAM

Flickr

DIGG

Stumble Upon

My Space

Squidoo

The speakers gave us a couple of very useful social media tips and tricks when it comes to getting major exposure to your quality social media content. I won’t list them all in this single post, but what I can tell you is that making a fun and informative 4-5 minute video and posting it to YouTube with your website link coded into the description is something you should do on a regular basis.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING BRANDING

If I had an extra $3,000 lying around, I would have signed up for the MASTER MIND program that was offered. Not only would I have gotten access to the DVD video training and the one-on-one  coaching, but this Platinum Package provided a customized “Branding” of all my social media properties with the same look and feel. That’s why McDonald’s doesn’t one day decide to paint a new Franchises store Purple. It’s important to have your Facebook page have the same “branding” as your Twitter background you’re your YouTube Channel.

SOCIAL MEDIA TRAFFIC (Embed & Comment)

Keep this in mind when posting to your Blog. Make sure you “push” your content to ALL of your Social Media properties (see the list above).

Besides using your RSS feeds, I find the “Share This widget to be a very effective social media marketing “promo” tool. As a matter of fact, let me shamelessly invite you to use Share This right now!

Simply click the flashing “Share This” icon below this post and if you like this content, send it to any of the 30+ social media sites listed. You might ADD this widget to your Blog site if you haven’t already done so.

Lastly, it would be GREAT if you could Leave a Comment about this post (be it good, bad or ugly) just tell me what you thought and if this was a good read for you or not?

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING TOOLS

In my next post, I’m going to include a video on How you can simply “mouse over” a Bit.ly link on Twitter or any social media site to quickly determine whether or not its worth investigating further, using a free Firefox add-on. This one technique alone saves me a ton of time culling through the hundreds of Tweets I read  every day from a bunch of very smart social media marketing people.

If you want to know how to create a professional flash banner ad from scratch in just a few minutes then this post will be a good read for you! I finally found an affordable software solution that lets me create my own Professional Flash Banner Ads and I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks along the way that has seriously increased my response rates using these techniques.

3 Tips for Creating an Effective Custom Flash Banner Ad

Banner Ad Tip #1: Text Pulls Better Than Graphics

Big, bold red or yellow text pulls a better than graphics. I’m not saying you should not include graphics in your flash banners ads, but text should be the main motivating factor for clicking your ad. Having animated text is even better! Your banner should have a big, bold headline and strong supporting text that supports and reinforces the headline.

Banner Ad Tip #2: Highlight Your Most Powerful Benefit

In your headline, you’ll want to emphasize the most powerful benefit of your offer. Keep it Short and Sweet, but give it some PUNCH! Will it help someone land a new job? Make $1000 in in less than a week? Help them scratch that itch? Whatever it is, include your #1 Benefit in your headline to draw your prospects in! <Hint> Fear and Greed are two of the most compelling motivators!

Banner Ad Tip #3: Give a Specific Call to Action!

You need to give your prospect a Specific Call to Action and tell them what to do! Tell them to “Click Here” or “Download Now” or “Call 800 #” and you wil see your response rates for your Flash Banner Ad will immediately increase. If you do keep these 3 simple Tips in mind when creating your own Professional Flash Banner Ads, you will quickly produce the kind of profitable results you’re looking for.

While there are dozens of excellent software tools you can buy for $30 to $150 that let you create your own professional flash banner ad, being able to automatically (and universally) track your click through rates, modify the destination URL and other useful analytics, is a must have in today’s highly competitive online marketing world. The good news is, you can use this SaaS Solution that anyone can afford.

Over the last year or so, Perry Belcher and Ryan Deiss have been quietly developing and testing what is called The Social Media Money System. After having a ton of success with this system on their own and slowly releasing the training through their in-house list as well as a few JV partners, they’ve had some pretty phenomenal results (over $100K in sales) and now they’re ready to officially launch.

As I’m sure you’re aware, a slew of social media products are being released. Things like Twitter have exploded onto the scene. Some of these products have been good while others not so much. All of these products seem to have one thing in common; the vast majority of them have not provided clear and implementable strategies on How to REALLY Monetize Social Media. The Social Media Money System is going to reveal exactly how Perry & Ryan have been able to:

•    Grew from zero to 130,000 plus social media followers in 9 months
•    How they consistently earn over $1 per follower per month

And their 8 step paint-by-numbers plan that let’s anyone achieve similar results and build a huge mailing list in the process. This product is very timely and its’ “Brand Spanking” new which translates into BIG commissions for YOU.

For the last 10 months my friend Chris has been working on something that he has kept pretty quiet until now. 

Why has he been keeping this quiet?

• NOT because he wanted to keep this to himself.

• NOT because he was afraid of competition.

• NOT because he thought you wouldn’t be able to duplicate his success…

No, none of these reasons.

But mainly because he wanted to prove that this was a long-term income stream and something that he could map out for you, in a simple and step-by-step system.

• How he makes up to 300% commissions, selling other people’s products

• How to trade Traffic for Profit

• How he made $191k w/ ClickBank in 2 years and then turned his back on it!

• How he can get 7,000 – 8,000 new names and e-mails into his back office systems each and every day…

• How to set this up, so that ongoing sales & commissions keep coming in…
  

And documenting all of this has taken him much longer than he thought it would, but the important thing is that everything is now ready. Ready for me and ready for you… To see what I’m talking about, click this link below:

CPA Arbitrage

You’ll see why Chris is walking away from a $191k income stream – that he made over a 2 year period and why this is one of the most powerful systems and income streams that I have ever seen… And why anyone can do this too!

If you’ve been reading the Ferree Money Makers Blog for any length of time, then you already know that majority of my posts are about Tools, Tips, Products and Programs that help the everyday Affiliate Marketer to Make Money Online.

This post is a little different, although over the long term, this content will help you with growing your Affiliate Marketing Business, by helping you establish a relationship with a variety of PR & Media Contacts that are active in your specific niche.

You should know that there are brand new Twitter tools that will not only find these high marquis Twitter Press people for you, but they will enable you to automate the process as well. Click here to find out how.

I can’t recall exactly where I found this information, but what I do know is that many of the 742 PR / Media contacts in this post are well worth getting to know better. Imagine the Traffic you could generate if just a few of these high profile PR contacts decided to republish an article you wrote or better still, publish your RSS feed on their site? It may take some time to gel the relationship, but I sure would Digg it if Business Week or WSJ or some other high profile Media/PR person from one of these properties caught the buzz of my Blog and started writing and talking about it.

I’ll update this Excel file every few weeks, to include more niche markets and comment on how to engage some of the more high profile PR people. I’ve sorted and color coded the tabs for you by; Title/Beat and Media Outlet. Provide your name and email address if you would like me to notify you when I’ve updated this list?

Click this Link to download the PDF file containing 700+ Twitter PR Media Contacts in hundreds of different niche markets. More than likely, you will find a handful of useful Twitter PC contacts worth getting to know better.

It all starts when some well-meaning (yet misdirected) person encourages a budding internet entrepreneur to “start in a niche they know a lot about”, or base their business around “something they’re passionate about”…

As horrible as it may sound – they’ve unknowingly sent the hopeful entrepreneur down a path of false expectations, poor results and  eventually – failure. In fact, the myth of “do what you love and the money will follow” has been responsible for more failure than likely any other influence – perhaps even more so than laziness or a lack of perseverance.

Because the simple truth of the matter is that the only way you’re going to make real money on the net is if your business is based around two crucial things:

1) Large Demand

2) Buyers

In other words – you aren’t going to get rich selling a $15 ebook about growing square watermelons – even though that might be a great passion of yours.

The demand just isn’t there. Maybe there’s a few searches a day on Google for the topic, and perhaps there’s some interest in the online “gardening enthusiast” communities – but you’d be hard-pressed to make even a few hundred dollars a month from ebook sales.

Similarly, you also aren’t going to have a particularly easy time getting rich by building websites about some seemingly “popular” topics like humor, jokes, funny pictures and so on. And while there are a few ways to “monetize” your site (with AdSense, CPA Offers, CPM Banners, etc.), it takes literally millions of website visitors to make even just a few thousand dollars in markets like that.

The demand is huge – but the visitor value is extremely low…

Instead, if you want to make it big online – pulling down an impressive six-figure income – you need to tap into markets with tons of demand, where the majority of the visitors are valuable.

You need to capture tons of traffic that wants to buy something. If you take this approach, you’d practically have to hijack your own order links (or affiliate links) not to make a sizeable income.

In fact – did you know that some affiliates make several thousand dollars daily just by promoting a single product in hot markets?

(Just imagine what the merchant is making…)

In some markets there’s actually so much demand that the vendors are quite literally selling over a thousand units – or more – per day. Digital products, with practically zero overhead/delivery cost.

But it all comes back to tapping into valuable demand. In most cases, it takes no extra effort or “skill” to market to a valuable market than it does to struggle along with something you’re passionate about.

These two factors – demand and buying traffic – are what seperate the “wannabe” marketers from the millionaires. Because there’s no real secret – you just need to sell what thousands of people are already buying.

The ball is now officially in your court. Are you tapping into markets with massive, valuable demand?

Or are you struggling to simply make a few dollars occasionally with a business that’s based on your own passionate interests?
