Twitter is a very valuable tool for Attraction Network Marketing, if used properly. If not, it can be a huge waste of time.
The first thing to do with twitter is to set up keyword specific accounts. Use your keyword in the account name if possible.
When you set up multiple accounts, you will find that you need a new email address for each one. Here is a quick tip on how to get around that. Just add a dot somewhere in your email address. For example, yourname@gmail.com could be altered to your.name@gmail.com. This will appear as a new email to twitter, but will still go to your email address. Thank you to Don Standard of donstandard.com for this tip.
Now, back to using twitter. Everyone talks about followers. Yes, having many followers has its benefits, but focusing on followers only will get you nowhere. Trust me. I have 5 acount, and the 3 with under 1000 followers pull just as much traffic as the one with over 8200 or the one with abotu 4000. This is because of they way most people use twitter.
Face it, once you have more than a few hundred people you are following, the time line is almost worhtless. Tweets come and go, and even with thousands of followers, few people will ever see a random tweet in their timeline.
There are direct messages and mentions, but those are for one on one contact.
If you want to reach the masses, you need to know how to get them to find you. As mentioned earlier, people don't often use the timeline in twitter, they use the search feature. This is why keywords are so important in your tweets. Using hash tags (#) makes your keywords carry more weight for you.
If you really want to get the most out of twitter, I recommend reading an eBook my friend Rex Harris wrote titled "Tweet My Niche". This book will trach you how to find keywords to target and how to utilize hash tags. There is no opt-in form, but you will have to send a tweet about the book to download it. There is also the option to follow one of Rex's accounts there, which I recommend you do.
Use twitter the right way, and Attraction Network Marketing becomes almost too simple.
Enjoy!

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Twitter Followers
Having a lot of twitter followers is great, but what is it really doing for you?
Honestly, I have never had a prospect join my business via twitter. I no longer even try it. I simply use twitter as a feeder for facebook.
Let me explain. I have over 6000 followers so far, so I don't do any serious efforts as far as getting followers anymore. I have some carefully selected RSS feeds that post to my account through the day. My followers can see this and it often attracts new followers. I then use socialoomph.com (there are others but I like this one) to automatically send a new direct message to all new followers. In this message I suggest they add me on Facebook where I am more active.
This process works quite well. Since many of those twitter followers are bots, this weeds them out and gets only real people that are interested in connecting with you to your Facebook page.
If you are getting some good results from twitter, keep doing what you're doing. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know what is working for you. All comments are welcome.
If you would like some tips on how to gain followers quickly, without having twitter suspend your account (trust me, it does happen), feel free to ask.
