=======================>

Twitter isn’t just a cute way for keeping in touch with friends and industry peers you know. It has quickly become one of the most popular social networking sites ever. With over 75 millions users sending 50 million tweets a day (yeah that’s like 600 tweets a second), Twitter has become the playground of choice for celebrities, corporate businesses, public figures and even the President. Yes, you can find them all on Twitter.

With Twitter you are able to access a rich source of instant information. You can stay updated with “real time” events going on anywhere in the world, and keep others updated on what’s going on in your world too. So you can see how this social media phenomenon is one of the HOTTEST places online.

Twitter can be a powerful tool and if you are looking to create some serious wealth online and build a list of dedicated followers, you absolutely HAVE TO be on Twitter. Twitter should without a doubt be towards the very top of your social media priority list.

So here is a Step By Step Guide for Conquering Twitter:
——
Twitter Basics
Ok, so if you had no idea what Twitter was before this post, we’ll excuse you, maybe you’ve been hiding under a rock or something!

1. To sign up for a Twitter account. Go to http://twitter.com and click on “Sign-Up.” Fill in the information, click create my account and viola – you have your own Twitter account.   There are tutorials and guides for newbies but once you start using it you’ll get the hang of posting tweets in no time.

2. Set up your profile. There are a few free Twitter backgrounds such as http://twitbacks.com or http://www.mytweetspace.com that you can download or you can stick with the ones Twitter gives you to choose from. You can change these “settings.” Be creative but real when generating your bio and make sure to include your website link, preferably a blog link. You’ll also want to upload a current and professional photo of yourself.

3. Start Building Your Network. Twitter will allow you to import email lists, contacts and you can find friends and business associates on their search engine. The best way to build a list of interesting people is to go to the Twitter search engine at http://search.twitter.com and plug in your interests. This will then spit tons of people back out at you that you can choose to follow. Twitter will also give you some suggestions for people to follow

Take advantage of another fabulous Twitter tool, which is FREE to set up, by going to http://socialoomph.com. This will allow you to send automated welcome messages to new followers and create settings that will automatically follow those who follow you or ‘unfollow’ those who do not follow you.

“Following’ someone is the same as adding them as a facebook friend, except they don;t see your updates unless they choose to follow you as well. Once you start following someones, their tweets will appear in your “timeline” or your Twitter feed.

4. How To Get More Followers. Another powerful tool that is not FREE, but highly recommended is http://www.livelybrowser.com. Go here to purchase the Twitter Friend Adder for $50. This is a simple and easy tool you can use to automatically add Twitter friends. If you’re on a budget, just add friends manually by finding others in your same niche.

In addition to search.twitter.com here are two more awesome tools you can use to help you find other like-minded people to network with:

• http://www.twellow.com - Twellow is a directory of public Twitter accounts, like a Twitter Yellow Pages, with hundreds of categories and search features to help you find people who matter to you.
• http://www.twollo.com – Turbo Charge Your Twitter Followers

5. Not Getting Followed Back? If you find that people you are following are not following you back, you can manually unfollow those who don’t follow you with this free tool: http://dossy.org/twitter/karma (If you buy the Twitter Friend Adder, from www.livelybrowser.com this feature is included). Basically, it’s a Flash application that fetches your friends and followers from Twitter when you click the “Whack!” button, then displays them for you, letting you quickly paginate through them.

Simple Rules to a Flourishing Twitter Following:

1. Tweet From The Heart
Make sure that your tweets are always coming from a place of honesty and transparency. Put real emotion in your tweets and your followers will stay with you. If you don’t treat Twitter as a more personal experience and spam it with sales messages, you will get unfollowed very quickly.

2. Tweet Value
Find good content to share with others. Share helpful tips for your industry that don;t have to do with your followers buying your product. Do not spam your link… Success on Twitter depends on your ability to share valuable content and information with your network, things that they can take away from the conversation and use; They will recommend you to friends and you will generate tweet that will encourage new people to follow you.

3. Tweet Often Tweet Regularly and Tweet during Peak Time, aiming for a few tweets a day.If you have something of value to offer online such as videos or quotes, a blog or a website, share updates that you make to it or new postings that you have written.

You can also re-syndicate content you like from other people. http://popurls.com and http://digg.com are excellent places to find content. Give away free Stuff. Have an e-book or a free course? Give away to anyone who follows your tweets or give you their e-mail address.

4. Interact  With The Twitter Community It’s not enough to simply add friends, you must interact with them. use direct message and @reply to interact personally with your friends. Retweet other user’s tweets when you think they are relevant or you can help them out. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and you’ll find you’ll become a vlaued member.

5. Here are some other fun and useful Twitter tools:

• http://www.tweetdeck – makes Twitter your social dashboard
• http://www.twitpic.com – allows you to share pictures in real time
• http://www.bubbletweet.com – A BubbleTweet is a short video (currently up to 30 secs) that plays in our floating Bubble video player over your BubbleTweet page… and when it’s over, it pops and goes away.

Cheers!! Now you’re on your way to Twitter domination!  This is a quick step by step guide to ultimate Twitter success. There are many other Twitter tools out there you can use, but what I’ve laid out for you here are the  the ones I find to be most valuable!
