The One Year Millionaire

Welcome back to the ‘ONE YEAR MILLIONAIRE‘. Today I am going to talk about a social networking web site that has recently been a new trend that bloggers, webmasters and internet marketers have been raving about. Of course I am talking about Twitter! The facts are simple… they allow you to post messages that are a maximum of 140 characters in length and you can follow or be-followed by other twitter members. While this may sound like nothing compared to similar social networking websites, it seems to have a flare that a lot of new users are attracted to. You can easily see what all your friends have been doing lately and you can be notified of any marketing projects.

If you had previously believed that Twitter is only a time waster where you can post short messages about what you are currently doing then you have been mis-guided. A lot of people think it is just a social website for people who have nothing better to do, but the fact is that any great marketer can take a simple web site like this and use it to their advantage! It can be used as part of your marketing efforts to increase your company or web site’s exposure.

Here are a few things that you can do on Twitter to help Public Relations and Marketing for your website or company:

- You can promote a special event
- You can generate more traffic to your website
- You can send out a press release
- You can offer your opinion about something in real time
- You can network with others in your niche
- You can build business relationships

Those are just a few of the real simple things you can do which can give you a little extra for a small amount of effort!

If my word isn’t enough to convince you to join a web site that can give you an edge, and take just a couple minutes to join, then you can simply do a search on Google to see what everyone is saying about Twitter or you can just check out the page and see that there are hundreds of internet marketers using it. All the top Internet Marketing Gurus are on Twitter, and they aren’t just using it to tell you that the weather was nice in their area!

If that still isn’t enough then you should know that there are many million dollar corporations that are currently using Twitter as another part of their online marketing strategy. These companies include big names like Amazon, MTV, Dell, CNN and Delta Airlines!

If you are going to be serious about online marketing then you need to keep up with the trends. If you do join twitter, feel free to follow my Twitter profile and I will be glad to follow yours as well. Twitter is the way to go!

In the next issue of the ‘ONE YEAR MILLIONAIRE‘ I am going to review a lot of the ideas brought up on the blog about making money online and provide examples.
