Happy Tuesday everyone,

For Twitter Tip Tuesdays I will give you the top 5 twitter tools that I use on a regular basis. So here they are in no particular order

1. Tweetlater (now known as socialoomph)- Basically lets you automate your tweets and lets you manage multiple twitter accounts.  There is a free version and a paid version.  I use it to post my automated tweets like quotes and things like that.

2. Tweetdeck – I use this for my iphone so when I’m not home I can check my twitter account on here.  The cool thing with tweetdeck is you can customize the platform to where you can have certain windows open or closed.  For example on my platform I have the regular timeline, my @mentions, my DM, and I have a couple searches that updated on there as well.  Tweetdeck is not just an iphone app you can also use it for your computer as well.

3. Twitter Karma – I use this to unfollow people who don’t follow me back.  Be careful with this as mass unfollowing people on twitter will get you suspended.  SO use this sparingly and use at your own risk.

4. Hummingbird - Another tool so to help you automate your twitter accounts.  THis is an actual app that you can use to help you with twitter.  Helps you get your twitter followers to big numbers.

5. Selective tweets – This is more like a facebook app but selective tweets lets you pick which one of your twitter tweets can show up on your facebook update.  Very helpful especially if you tweet a lot and your friends don’t want to see EVERYTHING you put on twitter.  I know personally that happened to me.  I had my twitter hooked up to my facebook and it showed every tweet and my friends got annoyed because of my interaction on twitter.  To find this go to facebook and look for selective tweets in one of the apps.

Well these are some of the tools I use on twitter to help me get my twitter following to 4k+ in the few months I have been using it.  But the key to using twitter is to INTERACT.  YOu need to build relationships with people you speak to on twitter.  YOu can have a following of one million but if you don’t INTERACT with them then it does you no good.

Thanks for checking out Twitter Tip Tuesdays I’ll have another Twitter Tip for you next tuesday!

Dieting Vs Marketing

Learning how to monetize social media the right way is by far the cheapest way to make money online.  But 99% of online marketers are doing it all wrong.  Many just shove their affiliate links down people’s throats before really learning about the person.  The biggest part of social media is to be SOCIAL and make new friends and there’s where mosts online marketers get it all wrong.

In a video by Perry Belcher he said think of social media as a party.  When you are at a party you don’t go up to random people and directly shove your product down their throats do you?  Of course not cause no one will talk to you at that party.  People will lose interest to you quickly and run away from you.  There’s a process with social media and you need to get to know them first and see if what you have (product) can meet their needs or the needs of their friends.

With the explosion of facebook having more than 250 million active users and growing.  More than half log on daily if you’re doing anything on the internet and are not on facebook my question to you is WHY ARE YOU NOT ON FACEBOOK??

Although a facebook profile is great is doesn’t give you much options as a marketer to market to your audience.  That’s where facebook’s fan and group pages come in.  But then the question lies in which one do I use?

Here’s a reference on the difference on Fan Pages and Group pages

Guest Blogger on johnchow.com talks about fan pages and group pages

• Facebook Fan or Group Pages

Erin from zencartoptimization compares the two different pages.

• Facebook Fan or Group

Matthew Loop from shudogg gives you the 4 reasons to have a facebook fan page

• 4 reasons to have a facebook fan page

In my opinion using both will work best to your advantage because there are things you can do to on a group page that you can’t do in a fan page and vice versa.  At the end of the day it really is all about having a community/audience whether you use a facebook fan page or a facebook group page.

For today’s Tip Tuesday of the week I will talk about a tool that you can use for Twitter called Tweet Later. 

TweetLater can help you boost your productivity so you’re always on top of your tweets. 

Some of the benefits include:
     -Scheduling Tweets – if you have predetermined tweets that you want posted on a certain time you can now schedule them.

     -You can send automated thank you notes to people you newly follow

     -Follow new followers automatically – this one is my favorite because a lot of times I get new followers while I’m sleeping and at times when I wake up I forget to follow them.  With this feature they are automatically followed

The possibilities are endless with Tweetlater. Check it out if you haven’t already

Here a software you can you called Blog Talk Monitor.  Jack Humphrey did it again.  Here’s another great program to help with your blogging for money.  But this time this Jack Humphrey program is FREE.

I’m sure a lot of you beggining bloggers always wonder how people are able to write great post about new information and not just rewrite what others wrote on a different blog.  Well I found this great FREE software called “Blog Talk Monitor” that basically updates when someone has written about YOUR certain keywords.

For example; say I was looking for more info on “blogging for money” then I would put that in the software and the software will automatically updated me anytime someone writes anything about that certain subject.  The possibilities are endless with this.  And there’s a video that explains how to better use this software on the website.

Enjoy!!! and please comment and let me know what you think about the software from Jack Humphrey
