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 “GoldWave”, and then the entire video was done with Adobe After Effects.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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.

    Thanks for the great information. I had a rudimentary understanding of twitter, but you broke it down nicely.

    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!

Got something to say?
