This article was written by Jeff Machado, an Inbound Marketing Implementation Specialist with Modern Marketing Support. One of the hardest things about marketing on Twitter In fact, the closer you watch those who have made a success using inbound marketing techniques, you’ll see that it seems that they’re not doing much of anything at all. Sure, they’re talking to people and sharing some great resources, but that can’t be marketing …

But it is marketing – and it’s a powerful kind of reverse-marketing. It’s relatively easy, it’s fun, and it’s really effective.

Looking for ways to tap into this almost effortless style of business promotion? Here are eight easy steps you can follow:

1. Choose Topics Outside Your Niche

As hard as it may be to swallow, you are not your niche. A niche is something you have. But it is not who you are. Choose 5 other things you could possibly Tweet about. On my list are cooking, origami, personality tests, colors, and office supplies. Find more opportunities to Tweet and talk about other things than what your business is. Getting people to like you first is a great place to start on Twitter.

2. Define the Personality You Want To Reach

Thanks to David Meerman Scott we have the concept of buyer persona and a method for applying it to marketing. Thanks to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, we have a tool for getting inside that buyer persona’s mind. It was easy for me to choose ENFPs (Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving) as my target market. They’re the types who get lots of ideas and are natural entrepreneurs but struggle with things like internet marketing implementation. 4 little letters can give you a lot of potential Tweet ideas.

3. Use the Search Button at Least 3 Times Per Day + Tweet at Least 15 New People

Lots of Twitter help articles will say “Join the conversation!” but if the people you’re following don’t seem to engage in conversation and only promote themselves or send out quotes for Re-Tweet bait, what are you supposed to do? That’s where the search button comes in. Search for something you’re interested in. Find someone you’d like to talk to. Then repeat as much as possible. Use your @ function more than anything else. Engage, don’t broadcast.

4. Ask 5 Questions on a Daily Basis

Once you start to find more followers, just ask questions. Will they always get answered? No. But did it cost you a ton of money to ask? Absolutely not. You can’t take it personally if no one answers the first time around. But if you’re focusing on your buyer persona, you get closer to getting inside their mind. You’ll know you’re asking the right questions when you start to get responses. Easy to do, easy to measure.

5. Answer at Least 3 Questions Daily

The fewer questions someone has on their mind, the more at peace they are. Questions, especially ones that don’t get answered, are the things that keep us up at night. Though it might seem extreme to say, it’s very likely that anytime you answer someone’s question via a Tweet, you’re helping them sleep better at night.

6. Send Out 10 Useful or Entertaining Links (But Be Sure To Track!) Every Day

While desktop applications like TweetDeck or Twhirl offer convenient URL shortening, they are not necessarily the best. You’re missing out on one of the best features of Bit.ly and other URL shortening tools like it: click tracking. This is the simplest way to find out if you’re Tweeting things that your Followers actually want to know about. Just sign up for Bit.ly’s service and Tweet from there when sharing articles and blog posts.

7. Share at Least One Blog Post, Article, or Video Per Week

There are so many options for connecting your blog posts, articles, videos, and all your content to your social media venues. But self serving promotional content just doesn’t cut it. Remember the question theory? Use it to your advantage. Think of the questions your target market (or even better, your buyer persona) has and make sure your content answers those questions. Provide content that makes it easier for that person to sleep at night.

8. Test a Different Landing Page from Your Twitter Profile Weekly

If you’re doing everything above, you’re getting closer to people being more interested in what you have to offer. What will they find when they visit you? Are they going to know exactly how you’re going to help them sleep better at night? If not, you need to create landing pages that express just this. As with all good landing page practices, keep on testing.

So what do you think? Is Twitter about as reverse-marketing as it gets? And what other ways are there to measure your success on Twitter? Let’s get the conversation rolling in the comments.

It is important to keep yourself in the loop when it comes to news on the latest social media giants deals as frequently as possible. It gives you the opportunity to catch that wave at an early point for a longer and more prosperous ride. On that note, here is information that has been posted on several sites that I follow on Twitter latest information.

Google and Twitter recently unveiled a deal where Google will include Twitter updates in their search results. Google believes this will be truly beneficial to have up-to-the-minute data that will enhance user experience as well as they feel tweets can make search better in the coming months. This information was unveiled at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco by Google’s Marissa Mayer. Marissa Mayer is the Vice President of Search Product and User Experience at Google.

Marissa Mayer had some other interesting information to share at the Web 2.0 Summit regarding a Google product called “Social Search” that is launching soon in Google Labs. Social Search will allow you to see queries from people in your social network. It will scan who you are connected to in social networks such as FriendFeed and give you results from those people. Keys to this type of search will be local information as well as image searches. You can join the Social Search experiment Here.   Social Search Experiment

According to what I’m reading on different websites Google and Twitter unveiled their deal following the announcement of Bing and Twitter at the same event, Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco where an agreement between Microsoft and Twitter was made to inject real-time tweets into Bing Search Engine Results. Microsoft is calling this “Bing Wave 2“. This was the main topic that was covered during a conversation between Microsoft’s Qi Lu President of Microsoft’s Online Services Group, and Tim O’Reilly. Now of Coarse he did cover some of his other overall goals with Microsoft and search, but of coarse “Bing Wave 2“ was the really hot topic. Video

Here is New Bing With TWITTER BETA Video…

Another feature that is soon to come to the new version of Bing will be Facebook data, but that is still in the works and it’s vague as to how that will work. Because Microsoft has Twitters entire public feed to work with, they claim it is like a better version of Twitter search. When you perform a Twitter search on the New Bing it will give you the top links shared related to your query, and the most recent tweets. Yes! I did say the most recent Tweets for those of you who do not use Twitter often this can be very important on showing you the value and importance in the near future on tweeting as often as possible. When it comes to the top links shared it usually shows that people think those specific tweets hold value, which may help you on finding quality content. I think those features will be very meaningful. Based on the facts I read about the recent tweets constantly updating in a real-time feed including an actual pause button for the real-time feed I think is a great feature, and there is also a retweet button to easily tweet and retweet what you find to be interesting or valuable content in your search results.

It appears Live Real-Time Social Content is obviously making another big jump. My goal is to keep you updated because for those who are not familiar or involved in these tools you may get left behind……
