I’ve just blown your mind with inspiration right? No? Well I am going to try a little harder. I was working at a job I didn’t like much and finally got away from it. Now, I find myself in a unique situation where I have a little freedom to take a little time and get things rolling for myself. I have some time, but not a lot of it and need to make sure that I use it wisely. See if I can’t figure out a way to make some money on my own, then I will have to go and find a job that I really don’t like…again lol.

I spent the last week reading and came across a few helpful articles. One article I read in BlackHatWorld.com was extremely helpful to me because it mapped out a plan over the course of 2 months and answered a lot of questions people had about the plan he was attempting ( READ HERE ). He is a guy who already knows what he can do and knows what it would take to achieve his goal. Over the last couple weeks he has answered questions that other forum members asked and has given updates on his results. Seeing his plan got me to think about this whole idea that I have tried to get across to all you readers. This is a guy who is running a side project just to see how it goes. He isn’t doing this to make a living, so I know its not out of desperation. He knows what it takes to get going on the internet on his own. So, over the next few weeks I am going to follow his lead where I actually DO and not just talk. I promise you all that I am going to have a FEW different things going on over the next couple weeks and we are all going to experience them together. Stay Tuned

     Now that I have said all that, why the HELL aren’t you using this crap already!! I mean seriously it can be a great marketing tool and will be filled with tons of targeted, yes TARGETED, traffic. There are tons of tools that will allow you utilize Twitter in a way that can help you and your affiliate marketing campaigns.

     I recently saw a method that will turn Twitter traffic into profitable traffic for your blogs. It will take a couple programs in which I will cover in a few short sentences, but the main jist of it is that you will be able to follow targeting users and get them to go to your website. I plan on using this idea on this site and if it works then try it with affiliate campaigns. Oh, and yes, I will be sharing with your what I found.

What will I need and Why:

•      You will need a program that automatically adds followers. You can go one of 2 ways with this… 1) Used a web-based application like Tweepular.com which is free and will follow and unfollow friends. It will allow you to add up to 200 friends at a time which is nice, but won’t let you target who you add. It is just random people. 2) you can buy a program like HummingBird or Tweet Adder. These run anywhere from $50-$200 and will do much more than the web-based models. You will be able to put in keywords and target people who follow those words which is obviously a plus when you want to advertise to people who are interested in what you have to say. PLEASE NOTE: Twitter only allows for 500 people followed per day . I am writing this now knowing that this max number may change by the time you read this post, but just be aware that there is a limit to how many people you can follow in a day. I have definitely made this mistake… twice… OK 4 times. These programs will add the followers to your account automatically and you can set it up for multiple accounts to do it at the same time. At the bottom of the post I will suggest places that MAY have these programs for free…

•      The next thing you will need is a program that will auto respond to followers. With Twitter you are able to talk to people by typing an “@” sign before their user name ( ex: @bumblogs ). There are programs out there that will pick 4 people and send little messages to them (Tweep.net ). This is good because people pay attention to that sort of thing and if you put a link to something on your blog then they may be more likely to click it and go to your website.

     So, that’s just one way you can drive traffic from Twitter to your websites where you have your leads.

     I am gonna try it out and let you all know how it goes for me. If I can turn that traffic into conversions and lots of good money. Who knows, it may end up being something profitable and it may get me to My 1st Goal.

THE BUM EXTRA:
TIP:

Twitter has a feature that ranks the top things talked about. These “trends” are are a good tool and EVERYONE has access too them ( they are located on the right column on Twitter). Use them… Write tweets with your link in it and include the trend word. Take a look at my Retweet button for My First Goal : V-Blog #1. 73 retweets or visits and I put that Phillip DeFranco died and here is the story, ONCE! Sorry, to the Philly D fans, but I doubt he is actually dead. Great way to improve traffic.
