Beside the other tips you may have learn from other source, the best piece of advice I can give you towards how to generating extra profits and boosting your business through Twitter is very simple – post great information by clear and understand below these questions:

• What are your followers interested in?
• What information do they want to know?
• What are their questions?
• What motivates them?
• Why are they following you? You need to “give your followers a reason to continue following you!”

Things to post on Twitter

Don’t get sweat on this, take it easy. Let’s say your primary niche is internet marketers. Your followers are people who want to learn about internet marketing – people who want to build an online business or make more money online. They are following you because they want to learn from you and they are looking at you as an authority source.

By that, you can post links to information and products you think your followers will be interested in. It could be by posting anecdotal stories about things which are happening to you, or answering people’s questions about the niche, giving advice, talking to people.

No matter what types of content (links, videos, photos) you are going to post, just make sure that your Tweets aren’t just a series of promotion. Of course you can promote, but do remember that point people in the direction of free content will help you gain more benefits in the long run, this way also can help you get your knowledge and your passion out there faster.

Here are some of the examples that to post on Twitter.

1. Just read a very interesting blog post by @username about how to increase your subscriber numbers. LINK TO BLOG POST

This is a good type of sharing useful information with others. By including the blog authors Twitter account in the tweet it will let the authors know that you have just promoted their blog for them. People really appreciate this kind of tweets because essentially you are promoting their business for them, words of mouth is powerful, so over time you will find that people start doing the same thing back to you.

2. Does anyone have any shopping cart software they could recommend?

This type of questioning tweet can encourage other people to chip in with their own ideas, opinions and recommendations etc. This is a great way to get your followers engaged with you in the conversation and to let them feel get involved. If someone tweets you to answer your question, you can then thank them for doing so, this will help you start to build up a relationship with them.

3. @username That’s a great idea – thanks for the share.

Tweeps love to get this kind of post, if you see one of your followers sharing some great information, post a thanks note to let them know you appreciate their tweets,  you could even chip in with your own idea and add a little something to what they were saying.

4. RT @username Their original Tweet here

A re-tweet is when you see something you found useful, interesting and you want it to appear on your own profile for your followers to see. By re-tweeting something you are not only sharing good information with your followers but you are also building a relationship with the person who made the original tweet. Once you re-tweet their post, they will see it on their wall and they will usually thank you for it, your re-tweet is actually the free advertising for them.

Beside above these, when you’re ready to get some followers, use the ‘follow them’ and they will follow you back’ method we talked about earlier to generate your first few hundred subscribers.

Beside above these tips, also remember to promote your Twitter account in other places as well, such as includes the link to other social networking sites, forums that you participate in and blogs etc.

Tweet good information is another must do thing. Talk to people (that is absolutely crucial) and concentrate on building relationships with your followers. You can sell too but make sure you don’t do it all the time.

Timing is the key too, try to tweet regularly but do not do it so often, I saw some of my <a href=”http://www.twitter.com/bblweb”><u>Twitter</u></a> followers tweet non-stop in a day, their tweets just flood into my wall, it is really annoying, so I have to click on that unfollow to escape from their tweets.

If you take on board the advice given on the above, you should be well on your way to generating extra profits and boosting your business through Twitter.

Be creative and think outside box!

Here is a sample of my Pinterest Board

Until today, Pinterest remains an invite only website. It originally launched in 2010, in the year 2011 alone, the site has grown by the millions. There are over 12 million people using Pinterest, and many of the major brands are now start to signed up as well.

As with every other effective social media marketing, when you plan your strategies, you must treat Pinterest exactly as it is, it is same as every other social media platform, you will be judged and liked based on the quality of the content you post.

Pinning Basics

Before get into how to pin, there is some basic terminology that you need to know to get out of the way.

Boards: To give you a visual, pretend this is like a wall, fridge or corkboard that you would pin things to. You can setup different types of boards such as “Favorite Foods” “Product I Like” etc.

Pin: The idea is to “pin” pictures to your board. Anytime you find something interesting, you can “pin” it to your board.

Like: If you see a pin that you like, but don’t think you want to re-pin it, you can always just “like” it (see purple circle in below image). If you want to get more followers you should like a lot of pins as this will get your name out there more and give you more exposure.

Re-pin: This is similar to Twitters “re-tweet”. When you like someone’s pin you can re-pin it to your boards so that everyone can see. I want to focus on this later because this is what will make your pins go viral.

How to Pin

When you first sign into Pinterest, you will be asked to create some pinboards. A few good suggestions would be to create boards such as “My Favorite Products” or “My Favorite Food”. Try to create boards that would be relative the products you plan on promoting.

When signed into Pinterest, there are two ways to post a pin to your pinboard. You can either post a pin from a URL or photo on your hard drive, or repost someone else’s pin.

If you want to repin an already pinned item, you just hover over the item and a “repin” button will appear (you can also click on the image to have the repin button appear). Repinning is an excellent way to fill up your pinboards when you are first starting out in Pinterest.

The second way to pin is using webpage content by adding the “pin it” button to your browsers favorite bar. You can do this by going to your about section on your Pinterest page. Within this page you will find the pin it button that you click and drag your bookmarks bar.

Demographics of Pinterest

To successfully market on Pinterest, you must understand the demographics.

Ignite Social Media have some great statistic towards to the demographics, you can click on the link and check the detail out.

Affiliate Marketing on Pinterest

After you understand the basics of how Pinterest works, it is time to explore the lucrative possibilities Pinterest provides for you – affiliate marketer.

To gain maximum exposure in Pinterest, you need to follow others, like their posts and repin other pins, here is how to get this part of work done.

1) Sync your Pinterest account with your Facebook and Twitter

This is extremely simple to do, just go to the ‘Setting’ section, turn on that link to your facebook and twitter, you are done. Once it is setup you will have easy access to the messaging and following option, which allows you to send out endless Pinterest invites to friends and family. And you will also be able to see which of your friends are pinning.

2) Creativity

When you are creating your boards and naming them, be as creative as possible. Pick unique names for your boards that will spark interest and encourage other users to follow you, try to do your best to make your boards appear as if they tell a story.

3) Keep the focus on you market and build a brand

Stick with your niche. If you plan on promoting electronics, build your boards around this. You will attract more people who are interest in your niche when they see this is all you want to pin.

4) Use #Hash #Tags

Most people are unaware that Pinterest uses hash tags. The hash tags really makes it easy for people to access what they are looking from, if you can tagging other Pinterest members with the @ symbol, it can encourage conversation hype and really attract followers.

5) Use your blog

If you have other traffic sources such as a blog, you need to grab harness this traffic into more Pinterest followers. You can easily install a Pinterest button on your blog or use various plugins.

6) What is trending

To catch up the latest trend, you can see it by visiting Pinterest’s Popular page. From there you can see what is being pinned from you site or blog, as well as seeing what is hot. Pin some topics on the hot trends and make sure you hash tag them for maximum exposure.

7) Follow and Comment

This is one of the most effective ways to get more followers. When you follow or comment on people’s pins, they will get a notification on their dashboard. This give you chance to be able to get connected to many users and gain more exposure for your brand or product. Do make sure that you leave witty and appreciative comment to users who leave good posts.

In regarding to the content, it is same as you produce it for your blog or affiliate website, if you continue to post quality content and pins you will continue to attract more followers. Every time you create a new post you will have the opportunity for that post to go viral in no time, and to help your business gain more exposure, generate massive traffic to it.

There is one very important thing for affiliate marketers to keep in mind, which is you should not immediately begin posting affiliate links and products right after you sign up for Pinterest, people will immediately catch on to this and have no interest in following you.

So begin by following people and re-pinning their posts, create 6-8 boards and make sure that the first 9 images are filled in each one. If you don’t have your own, you can easily do this by re-pinning other people’s content.

Pinterest is on the verge of a massive user explosion. It is currently being searched more than every other social media site (except Facebook). Catch the opportunity, get out there and take this new found knowledge and grow your affiliate profits.

To your “pinning” success!

Because the nature beauty of infographic, its attraction. I find no matter what types of Internet marketing business model you are in, you can use the visual display of information with fantastic imagery to catch people where words alone fail, and gain a good amount of traffic to your site or blog.

In addition, infographics also one of the few ways to game search engines, which means if you give someone to publish your infographic, you typically ask them to also put a link back to your site with some juicy keyword in it, then you get backlink, those links are the gold standard of gaining rank.

So how to create your own infographic? Check out below this 7 step to create a winning infographic will walk you through the process.

“With our recent launch of Requests and the support for iframe on Pages Tabs, we are now ready to move forward with our previously announced plans to deprecate FBML and FBJS as a primary technology for building apps on Facebook. On March 11, 2011, you will no longer be able to create new FBML apps and Pages will no longer be able to add the Static FBML app. While all existing apps on Pages using FBML or the Static FBML app will continue to work, we strongly recommend that these apps transition to iframes as soon as possible.”

FBML is Facebook’s mark-up language but the elements will take any HTML as well. By that, you have the ability to add newsletter sign-up forms, e-book downloads, and other HTML based elements. It is like HTML, but it lets you include social content inline in your markup, to use it, you need to have some knowledge of HTML.

iFrames (Inline Frame) , on the other hand, is an HTML document embedded inside another HTML document on a website. The IFrame HTML element is often used to insert content from another source, such as an advertisement, into a Web page. Although an IFrame behaves like an inline image, it can be configured with its own scrollbar independent of the surrounding page’s scrollbar.

Facebook’s introduction of iFrames is a good news for developers because they can brings in features of HTML5 as an addition to application and Fan pages, but it will be creating problems to users who do not know coding, and who rely on third party applications or outsource their work to create a Facebook Fan page.

As internet marketers, many of us are using Facebook as one of the marketing tool to create conversions for products, viral campaigns, or to build lists and so on. Since iframe can enable the FB Fan pages to have a better design, better analytics, so in someway, the transition of Facebook Fan Pages from FBML to iFrame is a blessing (somewhat) for marketers.

However, the problem is that not every marketer know how to code or design, for them, the switch to a more complex system where you create your own app might sound scary, so many of them outsource the work to others, but they do have to face the cost, it may cost lots (more than expected).

If you are in such situation, a product called Facebook 2011 Maxed HTML5 Template System or fbMaxed is the solution for you. It is a product jointly created by known search engine optimization specialist Daniel Tan (SEO Pressor Plugin) and social media marketing expert and consultant, Phil Benham.

FBMaxed is a full step by step tutorial course which will help you create a solid looking and feature rich iframe Facebook fanpage up and running in no time, it is a template system that teaches you how to create a full website onto your Facebook iframe fan page, and it shows you how to easily add a landing page, splash page, Optins forms, videos, galleries, PHP email contact forms and much more using iframe and HTML5 on Facebook fan page.

Here are some of the features that Facebook 2011 Maxed offers:

* A customizable system to create your very own reveal splash page that uses the new iFrame.
* Ready-made templates that can be instantly deployed, so your can have opt-ins, php scripts, HTML5 videos, photo galleries, contact form in your facebook pages
* Templates are Rock solid HTML5 so both websites and mobiles devices like Android, Blackberry, iPhone and iPad can view without a problem.
* Teaches you tricks to Bypass Facebook’s limitations of 800px tall iFrames
* Teaches you to make application without Scrollbars!

and much more…

FBMaxed teaches you how to make your fan page do cool things – like showing a different page to people who have ‘liked’ your page and a different splash page to those who have not. Beside that, the team promised that they will provide webinars every few days to their buyers to guide them through the system. At the end of every webinar they will hold a question and answer session so that the users can clear their doubt. You could even download those webinars (they will post them as downloadable videos), in case you miss the webinars. Obviously this will certainly be helpful to any buyers.

As long as the product is good – it teaches you only how to make a dashing fan page using iframe and HTML5, but it will not teach you how to get traffic to your fan page. So it would be a great idea if the creator of the product can add a module into the course towards how to get traffic to fan pages.

However, if you are very much into Facebook Marketing and Facebook E-Commerce, FBMaxed is a great product for you since the search engines have stated that social signals like Facebook ‘likes’ is being taken into consideration when calculating rankings of a website. Thus, to have a highly optimized fan page for getting a higher number of likes is essential because FBMaxed does just this.

In the mean time, you can also use Wildfire to the rescue! They offer super simple iFrames for Pages app free, I took it for a test run myself and was very impressed; in just a few easy steps your new tab can be live. Still. you do need custom images and/or HTML though (same as before with Static FBML).

Those sites distribute and amplify user-generated content. They tie users together based on their shared interests. They create vibrant communities that stretch across the Web, example, How to Build an Online Business community.

If you have a website, hopefully you also have Facebook and Twitter accounts for that site.

Social media is about the moment. It’s about now, it’s a constant, fast-flowing stream. Thus, the most successful Twitter streams and Facebook walls are updated daily, sometimes several times a day.

In last week’s Hitwise report, according to their data, 1 in 4 page views in the US took place on Facebook.com as of last week.

In March, Hitwise reported that Facebook overcame Google to become the largest website in the U.S. with 7.07% of all U.S. visits. They also says that visits to Facebook have increased by 60% from the same week last year and represented 1 in 10 US Internet visits last week. And the market share of page views for Facebook was 24.27% last week, 3.8x the volume of the 2nd ranked website YouTube with 6.93%. However, the data doesn’t include visits from outside the U.S. and it also excludes mobile traffic.

What’s that means to you? It doesn’t matter which marketers categories you are in, you need to pay attention to those network sites because it tells you that social media is becoming more and more useful to growing a business online and offline.

Just like SiteSell, a total-esolution-provider to help the average Joe (or Joanna) to make money online based on their interests or hobbies, whether they have web-page building skills or not have set up their SiteSell Facebook, Twitter and YouTube account to share the resources, information and up-to-date education materials with their customers, prospects and SBIers.

For myself, I have to remain engaged not only with social media, but also with my own website every single day.

On Twitter I can communicate with others in the same niche and build relationships. By retweeting their content regularly I become “that nice lady at LoveThatBug” so that when I have a question about their product, chances are I get a prompt and full answer instead of the “that’s commercially sensitive information”!

There are many benefits to social media, and there are plenty of good reasons to get involved with social media as well.

Unfortunately, in the rush to be on the cutting edge of social media marketing, many online business people continue to be misguided in their efforts to be relevant.

If you want to pleasing search engine spiders, you should know it is all about feeding them with good content and offering them Link Juice. Writing and post comments for sure helps, but we see similar comments are written around the Web by well-meaning Webmasters, often time, it likely fresh off the plane and out of cash from the latest high-priced conference.

Beside the off-page optimization, which are only one of two main data-measuring sticks of a website, link juice is about how much link popularity a page is given from any inbound link, but search engines look at so much more than just linking. So for webmasters, their main task online is not only to getting more of it while taking part in social networks, they also need to work out the content in a consistence way to track human behavior.

Being involved in social media involves a lot more than just putting the Facebook icon on the bottom of your site or setting up a Twitter profile with your website feed that updates once a week when you post a page.

Social Networking is about interaction with your site visitors, offering new information and building a brand. Thus, you need to focus on the its overall values, at the same time offer something to let your visitors get to know you, your business, services or products, you need to over-deliver for them, and then the Links will come to you at no time.

If you’ve paid any attention while you are using Facebook, you’ve seen the little ads on the right side. Do those ads work? My answer is ‘MAYBE’ – they most certainly do for some businesses; others, not so much.

Since Facebook gets 570 billion page views per month and 1/3 of all Internet traffic. It does has the potential to send you a LOT of traffic.

So, is your business Facebook friendly?

Myself, honest with you, I haven’t spent much time trying to figure it out how you can use Facebook to generate traffic to your site.

But this guy has, he figured it out.

Jonathon Volk claims to have brought in a million dollars in a year using Facebook ads. The methods he uses have captured my attention.

As you know, social networking has revolutionized communication and how information is shared. These sites are being used by millions of people every day and their use is growing rapidly. In June 2008, Alexa reported that seven of the top ten most visited websites globally, were social networking or web 2.0 sites. There appears to be frustration with users of social networking sites as these sites are becoming too large, making it difficult to connect with others sharing the same interests especially when it is difficult to differentiate a real user from a scam artist or a computer generated profile.

People often share private information with their friends in part because it allows them to bond, it makes them somewhat vulnerable and establishes trust.
