Our study of using Advanced Twitter Marketing techniques to drive targeted traffic from Twitter began with Targeted Traffic From Advanced Twitter Marketing – Part One. Please read that post first if you missed it, then continue on here…

As your interaction with others grows on Twitter, so will your following – and by extrapolation, so will the amount of targeted traffic you can send to your links. For maximum response, offer a free download – a report of interest to your target market, a sample software program if you sell software, perhaps a digital brochure with a money-saving coupon if you’re promoting an offline business.

Whatever market you service, you already know what the best lead-generators tend to be in your market, so those are the same incentives that will get you the most targeted traffic from your Twitter followers.

To maximize the effects of your targeted traffic generation activities on Twitter, you need to understand the logistics behind the site. First, you only see the tweets from those people you follow – likewise, only those following you will see your tweets.

Second, each of your followers will be following hundreds, or more likely thousands of other people too. As such, they potentially receive thousands of tweets a day – and no one can keep up with them all.

To combat that and keep your Twitter marketing effective, be sure to provide enough good solid information that your followers begin to watch for your tweets, and always respond to any messages they send you. Depending on which software they use to interact with the site, they’ll either have a special column for those whose messages they don’t want to miss, or they’ll only see the tweets that come by while they’re actually at the site.

So for maximum viewership of your tweets, divide the time you’ve allotted for your Twitter marketing into smaller blocks of 10-15 minutes each, and send your main tweets out two or three times a day – don’t hesitate to repeat your tweets, since for the most part a different subset of your followers will see them each time.

Advanced Twitter marketing can become the best way to get people to your sites instantly – and by using it to get them to your squeeze pages you’ll be building a list you can bring back time after time. But as effective as your advanced Twitter marketing becomes, avoid the temptation to spend more time there at the expense of your other online marketing activities.

You should be using Twitter, your e-zine and your blogs for short-term targeted traffic generation, and article marketing, podcasts & videos to keep targeted traffic coming in for some time to come. Neglecting any of these other activities will reduce the net gains you make from your targeted traffic efforts at Twitter, so keep it in perspective and part of your overall long-term marketing strategy for optimal success!

Advanced Twitter marketing strategies all revolve around getting more targeted visitors to Internet marketing websites and affiliate links. While search engines are still probably the most powerful way to drive traffic, that only holds true for those people who achieve a first-page listing in Google, Yahoo or Bing – for the rest, response is limited or non-existent.

Over the last two years the social networking sites, collectively referred to as the Web 2.0 sites, have been gaining massive audiences and are now amongst the biggest portals online – and that mass audience has created tremendous opportunities for online marketers to grab a lot of free exposure for their sites, blogs, salespages and affiliate links.

Of these Web 2.0 sites, Twitter is rapidly approaching critical mass, sweeping it’s ‘competition’ aside in it’s wake. Both the instant gratification from your messages being seen instantly and the ego boost provided by garnering a large number of followers makes the site emotionally addicting to it’s users, who are spending more and more time there each day. People from every walk of life participate on Twitter, from kids discussing the latest hot boy bands to major offline news departments using the service to get instant feedback from their TV viewers. Where else can you get a message to Lance Armstrong, Demi Moore, Shaq O’Neill and MC Hammer within seconds? And often hear back just as quickly, for that matter?

This is a huge opportunity for work-at-home businesses and online marketers to develop a following and establish a reputation in whichever niche they operate in, and in fact in as many niches as they choose to target. With millions upon millions of users, Twitter can provide a mass audience geared toward any niche, activity or endeavor. So how do you use the service as a major source of targeted traffic? Here are some advanced Twitter Marketing tips to follow…

Start with a Twitter search for your primary keyword. This will being up a (probably long) list of messages, called Tweets, that people have sent using that keyword. Read through them, and choose to follow as many of these people as appear to be in your target market. Repeat the search now with your other keywords, again following the users whose tweets appear to indicate an interest in the solutions you provide. Don’t just follow everybody – you don’t want to be trying to build relationships with those not interested in your business activities. Use your discretion to keep the group tightly focused – you’ll pick up a lot of the secondary people to follow through your interactions in the normal use of the site as time goes on.

As you follow people, a number of them will follow you back. Start sending your own messages, or tweets, but be intelligent about it. You want to act the same way on Twitter as you would in an offline business – be polite, be friendly, engage in conversations, but keep it professional. You wouldn’t discuss subjects like religion or politics with customers in your retail outlet, so heed the same advice on Twitter – why risk turning off people who could be valuable long-term customers with a discussion or viewpoint not relevant to your business?

Watch for people you follow asking questions you can answer, asking for information your sites can provide, or looking for the solutions your products or services provide. Also, in each session you spend on Twitter, remember to send out an invitation to visit your latest blog posting, announce your newest or best-selling product, and/or post an informative tweet that includes your affiliate link. Most people have no objection to you pointing them towards helpful resources in the areas they have an interest, and your Twitter followers are no different.

These tips will get your targeted traffic flowing in from Twitter, and in Part Two you’ll get more targeted traffic tips to use on Twitter from Doug Champigny, creator of the Advanced Twitter Marketing System.

All along Teri & I have been promising people we’d release the Advanced Twitter Marketing System Case Study”, detailing the creation, tactics and results achieved by the Captain Affiliate beta test – and it’s finally ready for downloading!

Free Download: Advanced Twitter Marketing Case Study

For those who have been watching the Advanced Twitter Marketing System evolve, you’ll remember that the intent was to find a way to reduce the time marketers had to spend at Twitter to achieve success, while finding ways to increase the targeting of their Twitter followers WITHOUT the risk of spamming the system or the users.

The Captain Affiliate (@CaptnAffiliate) account was created to allow us to test and tweak our system before releasing it to the inital beta-testers, and even we were surprised at how well that initial testing went. Even better, the results were then duplicated, and in some instances surpassed, by the beta testers. (Reference their testimonials here and here.)

And now, finally, we’ve had a chance to compile the information, along with the screen captures, into the Advanced Twitter Marketing Case Study. And to make it even more valuable to Internet marketers and affiliates, we’ve even included a copy of the squeeze page and download page so you can add your own opt-in form and distribute the case study from your own sites to build your opt-in lists… See? We told you it would be worth the wait!

So go ahead and download your free case study now, read it to help you make more money marketing on Twitter and distribute it to build your lists and make more money with your e-mail marketing – a nice profitable double-barrelled attack, don’t you think? Knew ya would! ;-)

Affiliate marketing on Twitter, or anywhere else for that matter, has certain techniques and tactics that make one more successful than other affiliates. For example, affiliates following the Advanced Twitter Marketing System are going to do better than those following common Twitter operating practices.

But what many people forget is that affiliate marketing, and all Internet marketing in general, is a business – and like any business, you’ll never get more out of it without putting more into it! Unsuccessful affiliates look to the super-affiliates and figure either they’re just lucky or they have some secret trick they use…

Well, truth is they do have a trick – but it’s no secret. It’s called hard work! Far too many would-be affiliates fail because they either don’t put in the effort it takes for successfull affiliate marketing, or they are putting in effort, but with no discipline to keep them on track and avoiding time-wasting and commission-shrinking activities.

Let me demonstrate a perfect example – the launch of the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. The product launched 1 week ago today, and 12 affiliates have sales there in that week. Mike Paetzold is in first place, followed closely by Joel Osborne – and they’re both far well ahead of the other 10 affiliates.

Now the playing field started out level – all of the Team Champigny affiliates had access to the Advanced Twitter Marketing affiliate resources. All of those with sales so far have been blogging it, tweeting it, some have put buttons and banners on their sites or blogs and others mailed it to their e-zine lists. Some of the affiliates behind Mike & Joel are newbies, while others are pros with bigger lists and more experience. They both have other sites, products and affiliate programs they promote, so it’s not that they have more time available – although both ARE full-time Internet marketers.

Based on all of that, they should be about middle of the pack, right? So what shot these two to the lead right off the bat and kept them there? How did they achieve super-affiliate results with their promos to date? BOTH TOOK THE EXTRA STEP TO BE SURE THEY SUCCEEDED IN THEIR AFFILIATE EFFORTS!!! Rather than just settle for the same amount of effort the others put in, and settle for the same income as the others, both went one step beyond what any of the others has done so far!

What type of extra effort does it take to lead in affiliate programs? Here’s what they did to pull out in front: Mike Paetzold held a teleseminar where he interviewed me about the Advanced Twitter Marketing System and then opened up the lines for a callers’ Q&A session, and made the replay available here. Joel Osborne recorded an interview on the subject and made it available here, then also recorded an affiliate video and put it online at YouTube. Each also created related bonuses to give away to those buying the Advanced Twitter Marketing System through theit links.

The results speak for themselves – Mike and Joel pulled well ahead of the pack the very first week out of the starting gate, and created resources that will continue to build their response as time goes on. They used Twitter & their e-zines to get sales started immediately, followed up with their recordings for both instant and long-term sales and used blog posts the same way. As a result, they’ve made more affiliate commissions from the Advanced Twitter Marketing launch than any of the other affiliates.

So the next time you see some super-affiliate buying another house, another sports car or another yacht, instead of being envious or figuring they’re just lucky, remember Mike and Joel – and how with not much extra effort they pulled ahead – just because they DID put that extra effort in. If you want the great perks that affiliate marketing affords the super-affiliates, watch what Mike and Joel do and be just like them – successful!

Willie Crawford, one of the most famous and successful marketers in the Internet marketing industry, has had a chance to read and implement the strategies in the Advanced Twitter Marketing System and has sent us his Advanced Twitter Marketing Review:

Hi Doug,

Just finished reading Advanced Twitter Marketing and wanted to THANK YOU!

You answered “the million dollar question” of how to market on Twitter without offending those not interested in your niche or products. Since I am online largely to spread the word about what I do, I did want to use Twitter for that purpose too but struggled with how to do that. You laid out a nice step-by-step blueprint on exactly how to do that.

I’m already implementing what you taught.

Thank you for also pointing out some excellent resources that I didn’t know about AND for providing step-by-step instructions on how to make the best use of them.

You blueprint and your timesaving tips will make my time spent on Twitter many times more productive. That’s one of the things that I struggled with since TWitter is so addictive. Thanks for telling me how to handle that.

How-To Tutorial Teaches Marketing On Twitter

The Advanced Twitter Marketing System, the latest release from Doug Champigny, has just launched amidst much fanfare at http://www.AdvancedTwitterMarketing.com/system/. Already a recognized Web 2.0 targeted traffic expert (he was the featured Web 2.0 speaker at the Internet Marketing SuperConference in Las Vegas), Champigny has really outdone himself with the release of The Advanced Twitter Marketing System.

The beauty of Twitter is that it has become immensely popular with millions and millions of users – and huge crowds of new folks joining every day. This means the potential for Internet marketing on Twitter and affiliate marketing on Twitter is huge. But in The Advanced Twitter Marketing System, Champigny stresses that you can’t just rush out and spam the Twitter system or it’s users…

Twitter is representative of a broad cross-section of society, albeit that segment of society who are functionally literate and computer/internet users. So for argument’s sake, let’s assume the average Twitter user is better educated and more affluent than one finds in the general population. But the interests and ambitions of Twitter users is just as broad.

With every niche and mainstream area represented on Twitter then, obviously some are good potential clients for Internet marketers and Affiliate marketers, but many – at least half, aren’t. Fortunately the only people who see your tweets on Twitter are those that choose to follow you, so if you could find ways to build a Twitter following within your niche or specialization, and then find those Twitter users who have an interest in what you’re selling, obviously you’d be able to drive traffic with Twitter, build opt-in lists using Twitter and make money on Twitter each day, right? And that’s exactly what The Advanced Twitter Marketing System teaches you to do!

Rather than spinning your wheels, hour after hour, in a futile attempt to covert disinterested people into customers on Twitter, wouldn’t you rather zero in on those already looking for the information or products that you’re selling on Twitter? The Advanced Twitter Marketing System teaches you how to do that in 3 or 4 10-15 minute sessions a day, all the while building a big following on Twitter.

Once you have this powerful e-book with it’s step-by-step tutorial for making money on Twitter, it takes about 2 hours to set your system up, then just those short bursts each day. And best of all, the software, sites and resources in Doug Champigny’s Advanced Twitter Marketing are all free to download, access and use. That’s right – after a small investment to get the book and learn the system, you’ll be driving targeted traffic to your websites, blogs and affiliate links for free for as long as the Twitter site stays as it is – years, hopefully!

If you’ve been trying to make money on Twitter, or thinking about getting into any form of marketing on Twitter, do yourself a big favour and download Doug Champigny’s Advanced Twitter Marketing System right now!
