One quick note before I get started here.  I want to thank my Twitter followers who are following me because you are genuinely interested in me.

Ok, so unless you have been hiding under a rock, you have heard about Twitter and the power it can have in your business.  And if you have been hiding under a rock and don’t know about Twitter, get an account NOW and start tweeting It’s free to join.  You don’t want to miss the growth boat on this one.  But I’m getting tired of people stating they have followers in the thousand’s or even ten-thousand’s and are not justifying who those people really are.

Check out this call I did with another marketer and good friend of mine, Carlton Flowers, going into details about this controversial topic.

I wanted to give you a little Twitter marketing tip today.  But before I get to that, if your not using Twitter, get on this thing as fast as you can because it is becoming a great business tool and I would hate for you to be left behind.

So what is this powerful new viral Twitter marketing tip?  It’s very simple to use and you don’t have to be a computer “geek” or programmer to get it working for you.  This is something you can implement immediately and if you can follow some simple directions, your good.

First, create some text at the bottom of whatever you are promoting that says something like, Tweet this post…Your followers will thank you! Or Tweet this video….Your followers will thank you!  Be creative.  This will work with just about anything.  Now highlight the text you just wrote and create a hyperlink for it.  Your hyperlink will look like this=>

http://twitter.com/home?status=

After the equal sign you want to put what you want the tweet to say when someone clicks on your text link.  You see, when someone clicks on your text/hyperlink it will open up Twitter, they will sign into their account and whatever you put after the equal sign will show up in their update box automatically and they just have to hit update and presto, it’s in the Twitter stream.

So you could put this under a post on your blog or a video and when someone clicks to “tweet” it, it not only could become viral and create a ton of free traffic, you could also create some followers on Twitter.

P.S. To see how this works, go ahead and click on the banner below, log into your Twitter account and watch what happens.

P.P.S Now that I’ve shared this gem with you, leave a comment and let me know what you think and how this could help your business.  Or, if you are already using this, let me know how it has helped your business out.

The social media marketing craze is happening, as you may already notice, so if you want to get ahead of the game you need to learn the proper way to use this type of marketing in your network marketing business.  A Twitter friend of mine, Perry Belcher and Mike Dillard put a couple of excellent videos together to teach you how to use social media in your business the RIGHT way.  Actually, until I saw these two video’s I didn’t exactly “get it.”  They do such a great job explaining it, I’m not even going to attempt to put it into words here.  I will just give you a link to the video’s so you can go right to them.  Again, as I was watching them, I had some “ah-ha” moments.  So check it out and leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Have you heard of this thing called Twitter?  Odds are you have and you may be wondering what it is and what the hype is all about or maybe you are thinking of using it yourself.  I wondered that myself when I first heard of it and couldn’t believe I was actually doing this.  It felt kind of childish, but once I seen it in action, I was hooked.  I was looking on the internet yesterday at CNN.com and came across an article about the Twitter craze.  They say it’s the fastest growing web startup today.  But real quick on what Twitter is.  First, it is a social networking site like MySpace or Facebook.  But instead of a complex system, it’s a very basic and simple web application known as “micro-blogging”.  Better yet, it’s free to set up an account and takes less than 5 minutes.  Then you can start sending “tweets” to the twitter world.  Yes, tweetsJ  That’s what they call it.  I just call it posts.  The reason it’s called “micro-blogging” is that you only have a maximum of 140 characters to use, so your update or post has to be quick and simple.  It marries the mass appeal of blogging with the rat-a-tat-tat of text messaging.  You can post anything you want, personal or business.  Just be creative.

  To use Twitter, first go to the site and sign up for a username, set up your profile and then start typing in the entry field.  It’s that simple.  Users “follow” one another and, if they choose, receive a notification when new messages arrive. Twitterers can create updates through Twitter.com as well as by cell phone and on sites like Facebook.  I use my Palm Treo 755p and use a program called Motwit to send my updates.  I couldn’t get my cell phone number to register through Twitter and it seems I’m not the only one having problems with it.  So, Motwit is a handy little application. 

 So, how does this help your business?  This is HUGE for your business.  More and more internet and network marketing professionals are tuning in to Twitter.  This thing is becoming viral, meaning once people catch on, it will start growing exponentially.  It may be there now.  Not only can you communicate with your current network, you can tap into an entirely different network that you may have not been able to reach.  This could drive a ton of FREE traffic to your blog or website.  It may take a bit for people to start to notice and follow you, but you will be amazed after you get started. When I first got started, I would have one person start following me every couple of days.  All of a sudden, one day I had 18 people start following me and my updates.  Some days the numbers a lower, but it seems at least 10 people find and start following me per day.  Do you see the potential here?  You have opened a completely new funnel of people to communicate with.  CAUTION:  Once you get started, it can get a little addictive, but it is worth your while.

I am getting ready to take a little vacation with my family and friends to Gulf Shores, Alabama to visit a friend I haven’t seen in about 9 years.  Should be a great time.  We will be leaving on Friday and taking a couple of days driving down so we can enjoy a little bit of the scenery.  I’m looking forward to doing some shark fishing from the peer and might even be taking a boat out.  Anyway, I’m packing and getting things situated around the house before we leave and in the meantime I’ve been putting something together for you that will contain some great value on how to prospect without rejection.  If you can never seem to answer that tricky question from an old friend or acquaintance that asks how you’ve been doing and what have you been up to, you’ll want check it out.  Check back the week of July 7-11, which is when I will return, and I will be posting the article here on my website.

 If you think you may forget, no worries, you can sign up for my free newsletter and I will be sending it out to my newsletter list, so either way you will get it.  You don’t want to miss out on this.  It will completely change your thinking about prospecting.  Meanwhile, after you sign up, you can enjoy your free e-book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and listen to your free internet marketing strategies audio. 

Also, I’ve been playing around with Twitter and will be posting my updates during my vacation on my Twitter profile.  So if you want to see what I’m up to and how things are going, check my profile out.  I will not be taking my laptop, but I will have my Palm Treo 755p smartphone and sending in text messages to upload my updates.  Hopefully the Sprint connection will be good down there.  I’m crossing my fingers.  I am using a cool program designed for the Palm called MoTwit.  Check it out if you are looking to use Twitter and own a Palm device.  Oh, and better yet it’s FREE! 

To your success,

Largent
