A three year update......on Twitter?

It's nearly 3 years since I posted on this blog....my I have been busy! During that period I employed a number of different strategies and indeed made money, mainly as an affiliate marketer selling stuff from the Warrior Forum and JVZoo.

During the period Twitter has totally changed and the use of automated tools there completely banned. Twitter however remains a fantastic place to recruit new subscribers to your email list. You have to be more subtle and engaged and the posting of spam affiliate links has become entirely ineffective.

Growing your followers has not really changed ...just select gurus in your niche and ask their Followers to follow you...about 40% will still do that. You must then engage them before offereing a free gift in exchange for them giving their name and email addresses.

Giving out good content remains important. A good way to do that is to join the #FF or #FollowFriday game. Using this strategy you post a #FF post which may say something like " #FF @TonyRobbins - he really empowered me this week."

Use of Social Media to Make Money Part 2 Facebook

Facebook has 700 million members and over half of these visit their Facebook every day.
If you're not on Facebook join now at http://facebook.com.
Once you have joined Facebook you should concentrate on building Facebook Pages - these should be dedicated to your niche or product and this is the main destination for your traffic.

The strength of Facebook is that it is Viral. When somebody becomes your friend by clicking on the Facebook Like button. that fact is automatically transmitted to all of their friends by being posted on their walls. So if someone with 5000 friends "liked" your Page at leasr 5000 would be informed about it and might therefore come to look at and perhaps "like " your Page also!

It is extremely important that your Fanpage be crafted correctly as it should act as a mini website. You should have a welcome page and optin forms at the very least

This is easiest achieved by buying one of the many products out there to help you.

I recommend 2 Facebook tutorials which have both been released since Facebook updated their site. They are the best of what is on the market!
