Twitter Marketing 101
In this first episode of Marketing Factor TV, I’ll show you the basics of how to use Twitter.com to market your website or blog. This video is an experiment: If the feedback is positive, I’ll try to publish videos like this one on a regular basis (on a whole bunch of interesting topics), so please take some time after watching it and leave your comments… 
Note.-
It’s quite obvious in the video that English is not my main language, so you’ll have to excuse my accent. Also, if I sound a bit nervous, it’s because I am (although terrified would be a more accurate description).

Hi Miguel
Great video! I think you did a fantastic job. Both the content as well as the video production quality is outstanding. I think if you keep on producing videos like this, you will get a massive following.
Who does your editing by the way? And which software programs do you use for it? I’m always learning about these things
Oh and by the way, your accent is great!
Talk soon!

Hey Miguel,
I thought it was a great vid and it was recommended by Gideon Shalwick on Twitter so I came and checked it out!
I’m going to use it on my website as I think it’s a nice simple tool to explain to others what Twitter is all about!
Cheers for making it!

@ Gideon
Thank you very much for the comments. Audio was done in a small app called “GoldWaveâ€, and then the entire video was done with Adobe After Effects.
Miguel,
Great stuff! I have seen some of Jack’s stuff on Twitter and yours is top notch also! Such an exciting time for marketing!
Congrats on the new site too!
Great Video! Top Notch! Keep on producing Videos Like This and you’ll see massive traffic and gain an authority on your topic. Very Professional!

Very cool video man. It’s about time that you put together a blog! I like it.
great video and fantastic blog – pushing the envolope there – good to see!
thanks for the tips – I am just learning about Twitter and seeing the power of it. Another great tool is Tweetlater.com – it allows you to automaticlly send welcome messages to those that follow you on Twitter and set future Tweets similar to setting future blog posts. Pretty cool tool.

Oh Yea based on your tips in this video I will now promote my Twitter page – please follow me at http://www.twitter.com/stirls
Excellent video. Clear. Concise. To the point.
I’m trying to get over the idea of people following me around. I guess it stems from a ‘don’t talk about yourself’ upbringing. That, and I often think what I do is not interesting to other people. Oh, and the fact that I don’t know how to do a lot of this stuff, probably has some influence.
Please do another video! Whatever topic you choose is fine with me. I’m the guy in the back of the classroom trying to figure it out. Thank you.
Uncanny dude! another superlative idea of yours.
cannot wait to see the next video.
Hi Miguel,
Nice work. I didn’t think you seemed nervous at all and you explained it well. I just signed up to follow you now too!
Regards,
Allen
Thanks to Jack Humphrey for the invite.
Nice video, Miguel, and as the others said, beautifully put together.

That was an excellent video. I especially liked your summary at the end. It helped me to put together all of what you had said earlier. Now I have a step-by-step plan.
Great instructional Twitter video. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for the great information. I had a rudimentary understanding of twitter, but you broke it down nicely.
Nice video. I’m off to take action with your 5 action steps…see ya!
You may have been nervous, but your video turned out great and is very helpful. I have hesitated to join Twitter…since I there are only so many hours in a day! But, with your video guidance I may give it a twirl!
Great video on Twitter Miguel. You laid it out perfectly and the 5 action steps summarized it very well to!
Miguel, I gave it 5 stars! You obviously know your stuff…keep it up!
This is an excellent video, Miguel… Please keep them coming!
Miguel,
Every time I read one of your great posts I feel gratitude for the contribution you are making to my businesses. I want to take the opportunity to express that gratitude! Thank you!! You do a great job and contribute in the process.
Continued success,
Michael
I like this video for its production values. Don’t worry about your accent! You sound fine.
I was hoping this would be more about what to do when you have a blog that’s been going on for a while and a Twitter account that’s been going on for a while. Instead, this was more of a “how to get started with Twitter” which is fine, too.
A tip I’d add to this is that @ replies are good in Twitter for relationships, but that they should have their own value out of context. Meaning, if you always write @ replies to others that require someone else follow the whole thread, it’s not as good a tweet.
Similarly, on the techniques side of things, TwitterTools allows you to exclude @ replies from your sidebar and Twitter posts in WordPress, and I think this makes the output to the blog more useful.
I really like this video— it’s very well produced, concise, and offers valuable information. Thanks!
Thank you for the video!
Twitter IS a DYNAMITE Tool!
I see you woke-up to 1500 Followers yesterday – and I just added at least one more to that number today!
Have a DYNAMITE day!
