Twitter A Little Easier On Your Mac

 

Sometimes the problem with Twitter and other social networking sites is that you have to constantly log on in order to update your tweets on a regular basis. That’s why it takes so many people so long to really get the hang of it. Especially those making money. I mean that’s just one more thing to do right?

Well there are a few applications out there that will allow you to twitter straight from your desktop, but the one I really like is for Mac users (sorry PC users:) and it’s called Twitterrific.

Simply download the application, log into your twitter account, and you have a nice small twitter box that you can tuck in the corner or in one of your mac spaces, where you can read current tweets and also create ones. It’s extremely easy. And You can use it on your iphone or ipod touch as well.

Follow me on twitter — I will be tweeting more often:-)

Pimp Your Twitter Background!

 

Now I’m sure that many bloggers and tweeters out there could do this in their sleep, but I love to add a personal touch to my social media efforts, but haven’t a lick of artistic talent. Now I like to try though — If not for anything more — but to be memorable. To stand out a wee bit more than the rest of the pack. So while everyone on myspace has pimped out backgrounds, not a lot of twitter folks do. Not yet anyway.

So I found this great post over at croncast.com - explaining how to create a simple background image that will work in twitter. You know how blue and cloudy twitter is right? Well this is what it looks like now: http://twitter.com/girlshrink

Have You Written A Testimonial Today?

I wrote a testimonial today for a marketing product which I bought and absolutely loved. Now while it would be nice to write here that I wrote the testimonial strictly because I was “moved to” — that wouldn’t be the entire truth

The entire truth is that when you write a testimonial, chances are that it, along with your URL address, and a photo of yourself will appear front and center on that product’s sales page. That is free exposure and typically free traffic back to your site. Buyers typically want to visit the sites of people who have bought what they are thinking about buying. I know that I absolutely do it!

And it has been working for my business as well. I immediately saw an increase in opt-ins after my testimonial was posted on a popular internet marketing website. I love when free traffic drops by!

So my point here is — have you written a testimonial for the last product or service you purchased today? If not, go do it. It’s a total win-win for everyone, and your business will love you for it.

Free Blogger Templates

I created one of my first relationship-based blogs years ago via the easy-to-use blogger platform. As the blog grew - my knowledge and experience with blogging grew and I moved on to creating blogs via the wordpress platform. Since it was so easy to manage my blogger blogs, I never felt like moving them over to wordpress was worth the fuss. They were monetized and being followed and well-indexed — so I just left them alone. The only thing that really was a pain - was the amateurish templates that blogger offers. I hated them!

A few years ago, as my business begin to really grow and move in a different direction — I wanted all my sites and blogs to best reflect my evolution into a “entrepreneur” and not just a “hobbyist”. And the blogger templates were REALLY beginning to annoy me. So I went on a search for free blogger templates that were a bit more flexible and professional looking. I found a lot of junk. A lot of sites offering the same 20 templates - and I do mean a LOT! I was getting really frustrated.

Lately I saw that a few blogger blogs were looking very professional, but had their templates professionally done. Before I made that type of financial commitment, I wanted to check one more time and alas…I found a site that was really worthwhile over at eblogtemplates. Read more

Do You Have Great Affiliate Resource Tools?

I must say - this is an area in which I am horribly lacking. I don’t have a kick-butt affiliate resource area for my affiliates — but I am so committed on working in that area because I really believe that building an army of affiliates is one of the best ways to create passive income and generate more web traffic to your site - hands down!

I just happen to be lucky that I have attracted some really good affiliates who were able to come up with their own great articles and blog posts to promote my sites. But imagine the possibilities if I made it REALLY easy for affiliates to promote my products and services.

As a part of my blog expansion in the next few weeks ahead, I am going to start writing reviews of new products and services that you may be interested in using for your business — so I recently just bought a newly released “Get Google Ads Free” product (created by a retired New York doctor) which I am going to review - but when I looked at his affiliate section I was amazed!

He has so many options for you to promote this product that I can’t imagine how he will not make thousands on it. Go take a look at the affiliate section over there if you want some ideas on what types of tools you need to develop in order to get your affiliates selling your stuff like hot cakes. I have already begun developing 3 different tools for my articology affiliates which were inspired from what I saw over in his affiliate section!

Get More One-Way Backlinks To Your Site

There’s a cool new site in Beta called Quassia where you can get a lot of backlinks to your site - which you probably already know are like pagerank gold! The more one-way backlinks you get to your site - the higher rank and more importance the search engines place on your website and it’s content.

Over at this site, you provide content or what they call “intelligence” on any topic you choose - preferably not related to your site - and you will get a backlink to your site for adding that content.

Best of all it’s totally free. And it’s probably a good idea to sign up now while it’s in Beta and get the benefit of getting in on it early. Learn more about it here.

How To Promote Your Content Rapidly To Get Real Traffic

I must admit that I have a fascination with search engine optimization tactics. I started using them back in ‘03 when I first started on the web as merely a hobby and fell in love with it. I guess because I saw real results for my site without having to pay a dime! Who doesn’t love free?

But a lot of things have changed since I first started on the web - and the old way of promoting content like articles have dramatically changed. No longer should we be trying to write as much content as we can and submit it to every directory that will accept us. And if you’re still doing that you may want to seriously consider taking a look at my upcoming article marketing course:) But having said that - a more Web 2.0 and fresh approach to getting your content out there to as many fresh eyes as possible WHILE building authoritative links back to your website is by creating your own Article Branding Kit™. So what is it?

Basically you write three to five original articles which really embodies what problems your company is in the business of solving AND post the link to those articles (which should be hosted on your own website) on all of the social media networks that you are a member of such as: facebook, myspace, etc. Any social media site which allows you to have a profile page is a good candidate. Make sure to position your ABK as a special offer or a sneak peak to make it more enticing. Now you’ve created a path of traffic back to your site while also creating a link to your site from a very authoritative website with good ranking (which is good for your site too).

*Take note that this is different from a freebie you are offering for signing up for your newsletter etc. These articles should be offered to the site visitor without obligation - as they are functioning as your extended business card. An extension of your brand.

If you want to learn more about how to design and promote your own article branding kit, look out for my upcoming article marketing course which is designed to help beginners and advanced web marketers generate tons more traffic to their sites for free! Coming in March!
