Joel Comm To Host a 12 Hour Live Ustream Tweet-a-Thon


If you were to ask me which web site is the MUST use site to get free traffic, there can only be ONE answer.

It's not MySpace.
It's not YouTube.
It's not Facebook.
And it's not even Google.

These are all valuable sites, but the one site that should be a part of your traffic strategy in 2009 is...

...Twitter!

I'm going to cut straight to the chase...

If you aren't using Twitter, you are missing out on the greatest opportunity for building relationships with your customers and prospects.

You are missing out on the best free branding tool on the web.

And you are missing out on the BEST site to get gobs of FREE traffic!

There's just no excuse for any business, whether small or large, to not be using Twitter.

So how do you get started?

And once you start, how do you leverage Twitter for your business?

You may have a lot of questions...

.. and there are answers.

Do you know Joel Comm?

A New York Times best-selling author and one of the web's most successful marketers, Joel is a Twitter expert.

Last year, he wrote a 30-page report that has been downloaded thousands of times.

That report caught the eye of a major New York publisher who asked Joel to write the definitive guide on Twitter for business.

The result is his brand new book, Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time!

The book has just become available on Amazon and if you are serious about harnessing the power of social media to get free traffic to your site, you really should get a copy now!

Anyway, Joel's going to be doing something significant for the official launch on Thursday, February 19th. It's a completely new approach to a book launch and may be a model for those who want to do likewise.

On that date, Joel will be conducting a live broadcast Tweet-a-Thon!

The Tweet-a-Thon will be a live Ustream broadcast for 12 hours straight, and he's got an all-star cast of power Twitter users lined up. It's going to be big... VERY big.

I'll be there for as many hours as I can, and I'm hoping you'll join us for lots of fun and FREE training from some of the most respected leaders in Social Media, Marketing, Business and Entertainment, including grammy award winner, MC Hammer - Tony Hsieh (pronounced "Shay"), CEO of online shoe seller Zappos.com - Wine Library TV's, Gary Vaynerchuk and more!

By the way, if the people I mentioned above use Twitter to build and promote their brands and/or businesses, don't you think you should be too?

Social Media Profit Coach Explains What Twitter Hashtags # Are & Why You Should Use Them


One of the most frequent questions I see asked by new Twitter users is...

..."what the heck does the # sign mean, and why are so many people using it in their tweets?"

Plain and simple, the # sign, or hashtag as it is commonly referred to on Twitter, is a convenient way to group tweets about a particular topic into one centralized Twitter stream.

For instance, as I'm writing this, one of the more popular hashtags being used on Twitter is, 6nations. So, if you go to http://search.twitter.com and type #6nations into the search box, you'll find all of the messages that were tweeted about Europe's International Rugby Tournament that included that hashtag in the tweet.

The video below by Social Media Profit Coach, Scott Tousignant, walks you through in more detail what a hashtag is, why you should look for trending hashtags, why you should participate in hashtag events, and why you should create your own hashtag event.

After you've watched the video, please use the "post a comment" link below to let me know if you've found this post helpful. Thanks!

How a Bankrupt Fitness Trainer is Using Social Media to Dominate Affiliate Marketing


When I first started using Twitter 9 months ago, Scott Tousignant, also known as @FatLossQuickie, was among the first users I started following.

My first impression of Scott was that this was a guy who truly demonstrated what the word "social" really means in relation to "social networking".

Apparently Clickbank thinks so too, because in November of 2008 they featured a 3 part series that Scott wrote about
how you can promote Clickbank products using Twitter on their blog.

And when Deborah Micek (@CoachDeb), co-creator of Blogi360, and one of the social media experts I most admire, started raving about him, I knew I had made a smart decision when I chose to follow him.

That's why I was happy to learn that Scott recently launched a new training program called, Social Media Profit Coach, where you will discover how you too can use the same strategies he did to harness the power of Web 2.0/Social Media to take his Fitness Training business online, build it to the point where he no longer has to have a brick and mortar business, can operate it from the comfort of his home, set the hours he wants, and enjoy the freedom that his new lifestyle offers.

The strategies that are taught within the Social Media Profit Coach program can be applied to any business in any niche. And you don't need to be an experienced online marketer to begin taking immediate action applying these strategies.

If nothing else, at least go there and download his FREE guide, Fat Loss Riches to discover how Scott cracked the affiliate marketing code to dominate the search engines for every product he promotes.
