Willie Crawford Teaches Internet Marketing

Marlon’s 21-Step Cheat Sheet To Profiting From Twitter
by Marlon Sanders

In this article I’m sharing my cheat sheet for profiting
from Twitter.

I want to share with you how to obtain joint ventures,
meet people you can produce products with, get people to
promote your products and jump start your business — all
without forking over even a dime.

And you can do all of this starting 60 minutes from now –
even if you don’t know anyone to start, even if you don’t
have any sort of list to begin with, even if you’re a
newbie, even if you’re a Mac user, even if you can’t
attend seminars, even if ….

You get the idea.

By using Twitter, you will:

* Meet people who have lists and can promote your product.

* Meet people who have the know how to move your business
forward.

* Connect with people like you, so you don’t have that
feeling you’re in this all alone.

* Avoid the bickering, arguing junk that goes on in forums.

One thing I hate about forums is a few people post all the time
and become power brokers — even if they’re obnoxious, don’t
have any clue what they’re doing and so forth.

Forums also attract a lot of negativity.

Twitter is a totally different and refreshing experience.

I’ve officially been on Twitter hard core for a few weeks now.
I still have lots to learn. But let me share the amazing things
I HAVE discovered about it that can benefit you greatly and almost
immediately.

==> You’ll meet and connect with wonderful people

I’ve met some really neat people I normally would have never
connected with.

==> You’ll get to discuss things with people you might not
know about them in other venues.

==> You can interact with a lot of people quickly.

==> Your Twitter list builds virally

People will retweet (explained below) things you say. This
virally spreads your info through other people’s networks.

This is the most powerful aspect of Twitter.

Now, here are my best tips on getting the most out of
Twitter.

1. Sign up at Twitter.com

That’s step one, of course. It’ll take you about 30 seconds.

2. Download Tweetdeck

It’s a freebie download for pc’s and Macs from Tweetdeck.com.
Tweetdeck will make your tweeting an unbelievable experience.

3. Keep the negative junk off Twitter

Don’t use Twitter to try to get that refund or resolve disputes.
The purpose is marketing. Use it to bring positive energy and
meet people.

People have asked me, “Marlon, why can’t I publish info if
someone rips me off?”

The reason is because the PURPOSE of being on Twitter is to
network with people who can promote your products for you.

When you complain about other people, it REPELS positive
people, exactly the ones you are hoping to ATTRACT.

4. Follow people who are in your niche.

Go to Twitter.com. Click on “find people.” Type in names of
people who write blogs in your niche, who have affiliate
products and who are influencers.

Click the “follow” link under their photo. This will let you
see their tweets with other people.

5. Make friends

Do NOT go onto Twitter pitching people. Make friends. Be a
sociable person.

6. Learn the art of the RT

RT stands for “retweet”. There’s a little icon that says RT.
When you retweet someone’s messsage, you’re passing it on so
the people on your list can see it.

This is the ultimate form of sharing. You give before you
get.

Even if you only have 10 people on your list, use the RT.
But watch how others do it first. Don’t just jump in.

7. Observe for a week

Spend a week or so just watching others and learning what
happens on Twitter before you jump in head over heels.

8. Anything and I do mean anything you say can and will be
retweeted.

It’s crazy. People RT things you wouldn’t think they would.
So be aware that anything you say can be spread. So be
very cautious about saying anything negative about anyone.

9. Share your positive energy

I said this before. But I’m going to repeat. Positive energy
attracts other positive people.

10. Give first

Do NOT ask people to promote you or your product. GIVE first.
Offer to promote THEM!

How? I don’t know. Be creative. Think of something. Anything.
Even if it’s just republishing their article on your blog. Or
retweeting them.

Let me repeat — give first. Offer to promote others first.
By law of reciprocity many will give back to you.

The #1 mistake people make is to ASK before they give.

11. If someone really annoys you, you can go to twitter.com,
find their name and on the right side is link where you can
block them.

12. Go to associateprograms.com and search for affiliate
programs in your niche market. Find the names of the product
creators and look ‘em up on Twitter.

People who have products with affiliate programs also have
lists. Make friends with ‘em. Do something to promote
their product and tell ‘em about it. That WILL get a response
in most cases.

13. Offer viral ebooks and reports on Twitter.

Instead of blatantly promoting your product, it’s better
to offer a little report or ebook with a decent chance
of others retweeting it.

Use Twitter to PULL more than to PUSH. This is PULL
marketing.

14. When you run across a cool web site or resource tweet
it to your list.

15. Do NOT send a lot of messages without the @ symbol.
You want to send most of your messages to individuals
using the @ symbol.

16. Go out of your way to promote others to your Twitter
list. They’ll reciprocate some time in some way.

17. When you find a good blog post on someone’s blog,
pass it along to your Twitter list.

This endears you to the blog owner. Even if they aren’t
on your Twitter list, there’s a decent chance word will
spread back to ‘em.

This IS the age of instant communication.

18. Learn to Twitter on your iPhone or cell. Yes,
you can do that too.

19. Understand that in the big picture your goal is to
find people who have lists and can promote your products
then make friends with ‘em.

That’s your ultimate objective. But you don’t get there
by ramming your product down people’s throats. You get
there by being an ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY that others
gravitate to.

It helps if you pass along cool resources and on
occasion say things that are profound or retweetable.

20. Inspire others to go for it and pursue what they
know they should pursue but don’t have the courage
to do it.

Be a cheerleader for people’s highest and best
interests.

21. Use Twitter strategically to meet and network
with list owners.

Do NOT end up twittering away time you really should
be using to create products or do other promotions.

Use Twitter. Don’t let it use you.

resource box below. And then hit me with your feedback
and comments on my blog.

I recently stumbled across a way of generating a lot more
traffic and it is really, really easy. NextGenLinks does
something that I didn’t expect to see any time soon.

These guys have developed a piece of software that is remarkably
easy to use and takes all the pain out of the whole link building
process.

Using their free 14-day trial I was able to go onto the site and
plug in my URL’s and in about 15-20 minutes, I was completely done
with the entire setup.

After a few days, I started getting traffic. Bottom line, I was stunned
how easy it was to set up and how well it worked.

NextGenLinks appears to have made the whole process of link building
effortless, even for a novice.

I would say they have taken all the pain out of the reciprocating
step of link building as everything is completely automated.

The links that appear on the site are quality links that your
visitors are likely to find very useful. That is quite the bonus.

I saw a distinct increase in traffic soon after I signed up for
the free trial, needless to say, I will be staying on as a member

If anything I think NextGenLinks is probably understating how well
this software does its job. It is very exciting to be getting in
on the ground floor of something that obviously is going to be a
huge hit.

Check out the free fourteen-day trial at
http://www.nextgenlinks.com/211.html
and stay tuned for updates.

Take it for a spin, there’s nothing to pay up front so the there’s
no risk involved, and it’s easy to cancel… although I don’t see
that happening…

Check it out here:
http://www.nextgenlinks.com/211.html

Have fun link building!

As a reminder, if you have a general internet marketing
question, you can probably get it answered today, on the
phone. Today, February 27th, from 4-5:30pm EST, I am
hosting a networking and brainstorming call that will be
ALL question and answer.

You need to register for that call to get the call-in
number, and access codes. The call is free, except for
any long-distance charges imposed by your phone company.

I do expect the call to full, so dial in a few minutes
early, or don’t be surprised if you can’t get in

Over the past 2 years, I’ve gradually orchestrated my
online communications to where 95% of discussions are
now routed through my helpdesk.

After noticing how REALLY unreliable emails was, I started
using a helpdesk in 2007. I tried and fell in love with
the software at http://ThreePillarsHelpDesk.com

I so loved the software so much that I bought the company!

I guess I got the idea from watching the old Remington
razor commercials where Victor Kiam says he liked the razor
so much that he bought the company.

If you haven’t discovered the helpdesk that I and tons of
very busy marketers, like Allen Says of the famed Warrior
Forum, rely heavily upon, you absolutely MUST check out:
http://ThreePillarsHelpDesk.com

What I have notice is that using a helpdesk freed up so
much time that I became more active on forums, social
networking site, etc… and all of these sites allow
people to communicate there.

People began asking me for interviews, contributions to
ebooks, joint ventures, etc., on the forums, on Facebook,
and on Twitter.

The problem is that I don’t visit any forum other than
the one at http://TIMIC.ORG everyday. The threads at
Twitter also scroll incredibly fast.

So, what I’ve noticed is that I’ve MISSED a lot of
communications, simply because they scroll past so fast!

So, if you have requested anything from me recently, and
I didn’t respond, it’s not because I’m ignoring you. It’s
probably because I didn’t see it… or because I’m
researching the answer.

In any event, if I OWE YOU a response, and you didn’t get
it, please bring it to my attention where it’s impossible
for me to miss it. Please post it to my helpdesk, using
the category “Personal For Willie.”

I’m the only one who sees tickets in that category, and
they patiently wait there until I answer them.

Yesterday on my radio show I had the pleasure of
interviewing Ron Douglas. I’ve known Ron for
a number of years but his interview completely
blew me away because I didn’t previous know all
of his accomplishments.

YOu can, and should download the MP3 from my show
at: http://BlogTalkRadio.com/WillieCrawford/

My friend Ron:

- Has had the #1 selling ebook in his category on
Clickbank since 2003

- Has a mailing list of over 225,000

- Has sold over 60,000 ebooks and books

- Gets MILLIONS of hits per month to his websites

- Managed to get a TRADITIONAL publisher to notice
one of his books and publish it, offering him a HUGE
advance.

Ron also shares in his interview that many of the
good things that happened to him STARTED when he
went to a Warrior Gathering in Long Island. Proof
that those networking events are worthwhile

He also mentioned being inspired by an article that
I wrote, and that that was the catalyst for one of
his major projects.

Anyway, it was a very insightful interview. Ron
shared a LOT of what he is doing right in the
interview, and again, you can access it completely
free of charge, no opt-ins or any hoops to jump
thorough, here:
http://BlogTalkRadio.com/WillieCrawford/

Feel free to tell others about that interview. The
information shared there is actually better than
found in many products I’ve purchased recently!
