How to Retweet

The common syntax starts off with the use of a label. “Retweet:” - the label “Retweeting:” and “Reading:” work as well.

Next comes the crediting. You can credit the original poster by simply using the @reply syntax, for example: “@originalPoster”.

Lastly, you should add the link along with a quick note about the link and why it is relevant. Here is a full example of retweeting:

Now that you understand how to properly retweet, lets move on to some basic concepts of retweeting.

Retweeting Provides Value to Your Follower

There is a reason why people follow you, value. If you can provide value to your follower you will not only make that individual happy, but you will most likely attract more followers. Providing quality content is always a great way to provide your followers with value. The first thing that comes to mind is writing up a great blog post, and linking the post in a tweet. While this is one way to approach this concept, it is not the only way. Another way to provide your followers with great content is to link to other relevant and interesting content.

Retweeting Will Benefit Your Personal Brand

Retweeting will most likely build your personal brand as well as your follower’s loyalty. If you point a reader to an external source that is truly relevant and beneficial to them, the amount of trust that individual has in you will increase. The next time you post a link, whether it be to your blog or to another source, the chances of that individual clicking that link are higher than before.

Retweeting Will Help You Build Relationships With The Original Posters

As mentioned previously, the likelihood of being on the other end of a retweet increases as you retweet. Retweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness, and for the most part bloggers like to return such acts. This isn’t to say that you should expect someone to retweet your content just because you retweet theirs. Again, retweeting is all about providing value to your followers, and an individual isn’t going to retweet a post of yours if it is not top notch.

A Concern: Doesn’t Retweeting Steer My Followers Away From Me?

Actually no. In my opinion retweeting will never lose you a follower or reader. Why would someone stop reading your blog or following your twitter because you sent them off to another website? Keep an open mind when it comes to your readers, they are usually smart and good people.

Conclusion

Retweeting can help you educate your followers, build your personal brand, increase future traffic, and connect you to other bloggers / content creators in your niche.

7 types of Social Media you need to use.

One type of Internet marketing that you must be taking advantage of is social media. The truth is your Internet business will not survive unless you are involved in various forms of social media. The only exception to that would be if you paiy advertising such as Google Adwords or Yahoo Marketing.

Perhaps you do not understand the various ways you can utilize these many types of social media to brand yourself and expand your business. Here are 7 types of Internet social media you should be doing everyday.

1. Blogging

Your competition has a blog and so should you. Blogs can serve many purposes. A couple of key points are host your own blog and consistently add fresh content. Never let your blog go stale.

If money is tight, you can install a free blog software and start publishing at least one article in your blog. Provide an easy bookmarking feature to social bookmarking sites like delicious. This is done by providing an action button for each article in your site. The action button takes users to the submission page of the bookmarking site.

2. Social Networking

My Space and Facebook are 2 of the largest. Building relationships online are a big part of having a successful Internet business. Social networking allows you to hang out with people that have similar interests to you. Remember that the same social etiquette and good manners apply online as they do offline. Think about building relationships first, business second.

3. Micro Blogging

Twitter.com is a combination of social networking and blogging. Building a large list of followers is a great way to meet people and increase traffic to your blog and websites. Plus it is fun to Tweet! I’m a big fan of Twitter.

4. Social Bookmarking

Directories such as Digg and Technorati serve as search engine bait for your blog posts and for new traffic from people who read your blog articles. Bookmarking a blog post is very easy to do and the rewards can pay off for years to come.

5. Discussion Forums

This really was one of the first forms of social media and still is a great way to learn about the niche of your business and to drive traffic to it. Hanging out in discussion forums can be addictive so be careful to use them the right way and not waste time. There is an art to forum marketing and you must learn to do it correctly, but the benefits are many.

6. Email Marketing

There has always been money in having a list. The trick is to build relationships with your list and then sell to it after you have done that. For that reason we include it in social media. Today you can add video, audio, graphics, and other things to make your email more interactive.

7. Video Marketing

When Google bought YouTube everyone was put on notice that video marketing was going to be important. Today internet marketers can drive traffic and build credibility by adding videos to their blog and website.

Create short how-to or new product videos and post these videos in social video sharing sites like YouTube, Google video. Provide a few start and end frames in these videos to introduce your site with your site url. Post these videos using catchy titles, teasing descriptions, and appropriate tags to make them discoverable

This is 7 forms of social media you must be using to build your Internet business. The most successful Internet marketers already are!

The social media is not a fad. It is here to stay and bring in profound changes to web surfers’ experiences. It is the right time for implementing features that will make your site social media friendly. Also, using marketing techniques that utilize popular social media sites, you will be able to bring traffic to your site.

100% profit, no need to have your own product!

One of the most difficult thing for a newbie to start in Internet marketing can be to choose what niche to go for or should I create my own products?

Many gurus say that to make 100% profit it needs to be your own product, well I would like to tell you that you can make 100% profit without a niche or product.

Resale Master Rights Packages are products that you can buy cheap and resale them to get 100% profit.

Master Resale Rights gives you the opportunity to sell both the product AND the resell rights. This increases value of the product significantly, because your customer may resell the product for profit too. You own the software completely.

Most of them will have the Sale page, emails, banners and even keywords for you.

Resell Rights work the same as Master Resale Rights, with the exception that you may not sell the resale rights to your customers, meaning that they are not allowed to resell it!

You need to read the PDF file that comes with them and make sure you understand what your rights are, some will give you rights to add things to the product and even change the Title, put the price you want to sell it for.

You can create an affiliatepage to have other people selling the product for you as well.

The best to resale are ebooks, software, courses.

All you need to do is upload it to your hosting and advertise it, after that you will be making 100% profit with other people products. Just make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you do anything.

The power of twitter

I could have never imagine the power of a social network online. Twitter has become for some the only way of income and for others the second traffic generation tool.
Would you like to have thousands of followers in your twitter? It is easier than building a list of thousand of people, because you can do it just in a couple of days or less than a week.
Have a look at the interview that mark Anastasi did to me where I explain in detail how to make an insane amount of followers in less than a week. www.thetwitterqueen.com

Forums; a way to generate traffic and make an income

I have never been convinced to post in Forums, but I started trying today, and not only I found that it is fun but I found a forum that will pay you to post in it, isn't that amazing???
http://www.makemoneykingdom.com/ You can post threads and leave your link to generate traffic to your website but at the same time you get paid for doing so.

Affiliates to upload and start making money

I have found that many companies and many products that you can affiliate to will give you everything done, Squeeze Page, website, banners, emails, Adwords Ads and keywords. In the Internet Millionaire Bootcamp of Mark Anastasi many Gurus told us so but you can never imagine how much companies will give you, you will only need to put your name upload it and direct traffic to it. I recommend when looking in clickbank or any other to look for the ones that will give you all done, because they sales letter, keywords emails are made by people with a lot more experience to attract buyers.
