• So…are you tweeting yet?

    Because if you’re not, you’re missing out on one of the biggest opportunities to develop a closer relationship with your prospects and blow the roof off your sales numbers.

    Let me explain…

    A couple of years ago, when I wrote the Attention Age Doctrine 2, I told you that your future success would depend on things like building buzz, word-of-mouth marketing, the influence of networks, the rise of the Viral Visionary, and more.

    I also warned you that, without a positive social media influence in your corner, you were treading on thin ice with your business (remember the Kryptonite Locks fiasco?)

    And since then, the social marketing arena has virtually exploded. Today there’s a millions different ways to get a millions different people saying a million different things about you–hopefully all good.)

    But there’s been nothing–NOTHING–like the Twitter phenomenon.

    Twitter allows you to micro blog, using short, 140 character messages to stay in touch with your followers on a minute by minute basis.

    Estimates vary, but there’s roughly 6 million users on Twitter–and more being added every second. In fact, my right hand man, Brian Johnson, finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon just recently after much prodding from everyone in the office.

    So what does this mean to you? One word–PROFITS.

    Because Twitter gives you the opportunity to stay in touch with your audience like never before–without relying on them opening an email or going to your static blog.

    Now you can instantly message your followers, handing them valuable tips while also giving them a glimpse into your day.

    This fosters a stronger, more intimate relationship with your audience And when the time comes to launch a new product, the whole “do I trust this guy or don’t I” objection is non-existent.

    And the result? More sales coming in faster and easier than ever!

    I’ve been Tweeting for quite a while now, and I must say–it’s addicting. Once you fire off a few tweets and start seeing what’s going on with others in your business, you’ll find yourself hooked on this amazing technology very quickly.

    But let’s face it–there’s LOTS of money to be made here. And I want to help you build your business by giving you a few simple tips and tools that can help maximize your profit potential with your followers…

    1) Be transparent–TOTALLY transparent. Talk about your life, your family, your work. Be detailed and honest. Tell them about good days and bad. Show them what it’s like to be in your shoes. Your followers want to know about YOU–not just your products or services. So give them that insight. Then when the time comes to promote, you’ll find a much easier road in front of you.

    2) Tweet early and often. One of the best ways to do this is to download a free desktop program called TweetDeck. This is a powerful way to stay on top of what’s happening with your followers (especially the ones you’re looking to JV with) and keep tabs on who’s talking about you–without logging in and out all the time.

    3) Retweet constantly. Retweeting (or RT) is a fast, easy way to pass along something valuable you’ve found in another tweet by simply clicking on an icon. This is giving back in its purest form, a way to share the best information with your followers without asking for anything in return. And it WORKS. Retweet the good stuff and you’ll soon have a huge group of prospects who know, like and trust you.

    Those are just a few things to help you grow your list of followers by leaps and bounds. But if you REALLY want to jump in with both feet and start making money fast using Twitter, you gotta get Joel Comm’s new book, “Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time.”
