3 Things To Do Today To Bend The Rules Of Business With Marketing:
 And, It Doesn’t Include Tweeting:
  1. Create Your Twitter Account
  2. Personalize / Brand Your Profile
  3. Follow and Be Followed

Create Your Twitter Account (www.Twitter.com)

Takes seconds to set up and is very intuitive! Choose your name carefully as you can’t change it.  For companies, personalize it  - ACMEJoe. For home based businesses, like me, use your name or your blog name.

Branding Your Account

Social media is all about My Story Marketing and the Law of Attraction so be YOU.

Choose a background image, don’t use a Twitter background because you’ll look like everyone else. Get a free background from Twitter Image (www. or upload one of your favorite photos.

Also, don’t use the generic twitter picture, select your own photo instead or avatar instead Face Your Manga or My Web Face

There are a lot of spammers in Twitter and after awhile you’ll learn to avoid the followers that use the Twitter icon or vague images that don’t fess up to who they really are. Keep it real. Show your face.

Add your business website to your profile.  Its subtly there if people want to know more about you.

Following and Followers

Daily, you’ll sync up with people you’re following and those that are following you. Your goal is to build a two-way relationship. So, look for people who actually communicate back with you and if after a few days someone doesn’t reciprocate, drop them.

1st Day Only - Daily Routine:

Find someone (an industry expert or ghuru) and follow their followers. I started with Tim Ferris, The 4-hour Work Week, because I’m a huge fan of his and he has a big impact on my industry. Your goal is to build a team as large as you can, this is a numbers game: 18,000 followers will get you around 100 – 200 leads per week.

What to look for:
  • People with common interests
  • People within your industry
Pick 3 people, then look for people within the first 5 pages of followers. Click “Follow”. This will give you a total of 15 pages to start with.

CAUTION: Twitter is very careful about people being overly aggressive. Do this everyday but don’t over do it and build your tribe.

This should only take you about 15 minutes and will be part of your daily ritual. Twitter is a great way to bend the rules of business in using a social marketing for reaching out to new customers.

That’s it for today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twitter Terminology for Dummies:

Following - someone you’ve selected to follow:
  • Someone who you secretly want on your team or in your business
  • Someone you want to build a relationship with
Followers – somebody following you
  • Somebody who actually takes the time to respond to you
  • Someone who genuinely gives you value
@username + message - goes to all of the followers of that person.
D username + message - only goes to that person. Private.
