If you’ve read my Advanced Twitter Marketing System, you know how heavily I stress Twitter’s ability to drive tightly-focused targeted traffic to the links in your tweets. And I’ve said in numerous interviews since that the easiest links to get traffic to from Twitter are blog posts and free downloads, right?

Now, along comes Clickbank Pirate, almost as if in answer to that amazing powerhouse Twitter has become! These two sites were definitely destined to be used together by any advanced Twitter marketer who’s into affiliate marketing, or looking for a way to monetize their Twitter followers.

You see, as a member of Clickbank Pirate, each month you’re provided with new affiliate sales funnels already set up and hosted for you – you just need to send as much targeted traffic as you can. That’s right – THEY provide the free report and the squeeze page to give it away from, and THEY set up the autoresponder for you and write the follow-up e-mail series, with each funnel hopefully leading to sales of one affiliate product at Clickbank for you.

So with all of that already in place, and new ones set up each month, really all you need to do is find targeted prospects and get them to opt-in and download your free gift. Isn’t that exactly what we’ve talked about in Advanced Twitter Marketing? Targeted traffic sent to a free download?

It’s hard to think of two systems that would work better together, isn’t it? And best of all, Twitter is still growing by leaps and bounds – and as it does, your potential target market gets bigger and bigger. And as each month goes by at Clickbank Pirate, so does the number of free gifts you have to give away to increase your affiliate marketing commissions. Oh, and by the way, all payments, both from the affiliate sales funnels and the Clickbank Pirate affiliate program, are paid directly into your Clickbank account – and Clickbank has NEVER missed a single on-time payment in it’s ten years of operation.

Take advantage of this deadly duo today – get in on the goodies from Clickbank Pirate, and on the off chance you don’t already have your own copy of the Advanced Twitter Marketing System, then by all means download your copy today!

Advanced Twitter marketing research has shown a lot of different ways to use Twitter in your Internet and affiliate marketing, but unfortunately too many novice marketers are now starting to use Twitter as their main, or only, form of online promotion. As much as I love Twitter and it’s potential profit paths for an online business, I STRONGLY recommend AGAINST using Twitter as your main marketing activity.

Why? First, Twitter doesn’t belong to you – meaning the owners could at any time shut it down. In almost 13 years online now I’ve seen a number of big sites come and go, and while Twitter seems firmly rooted at the moment, remember that they still haven’t monetized the service. Even with the business brilliance of Biz Stone & crew, and the small staff they’ve stayed to, they do have some good-sized expenditures for hardware, bandwidth, etc. Sooner or later the bills have to be paid, and I for one will feel much more comfortable about Twitter’s future once they have a monetization system set up and working well.

Second, the service could be doing fine – but still shut down YOUR account. There have been a few days recently when 50 or 100 accounts are suddenly suspended for ’suspicious activity’. Seems the way they’ve kept the spammers out is by applying algorithms that knock out any suspicious behavior – but as with all such systems, some get clipped that haven’t broken any rules. So far Twitter has been impressively fast in restoring accounts caught in the crossfire, but what happens when the number of users and user accounts doubles or quadruples?

Having your account down for 3 or 4 days may not seem like much of a problem, but if it’s your main promotional vehicle and those 3 or 4 days coincide with your big launch, or the launch of an affiliate marketing opportunity, it could mean missing out on thousands of dollars in sales or commissions!

The third (and most important) reason is the same reason Twitter is so perfect as part of your marketing mix. Targeted traffic from Twitter is instant – you tweet, some of your followers see it and a percentage of them click through to your link. How many do depends on a myriad of factors – but mostly on how targeted your following is and how many see that tweet.

So why is that a disadvantage? Because within a minute or two, your tweet has scrolled offscreen for anyone except those that have you in their ‘VIP list’ in some interfaces. So to keep traffic coming in, you have to keep tweeting that same tweet a few times a day every day. As soon as you move on to another opportunity, traffic from Twitter to that first link dries up pretty quickly.

Compare that to article marketing, podcasts or video submissions, that potentially continue to drive traffic for you for days, weeks, months and even years in some cases. Blog posts are another great example of this, for while your current posts get the most action for you, some of your earlier posts may still generate a lot of traffic through being found in the search engines, blog directories, podcast directories, etc.

So just as when marketing in the offline world, keep your online marketing mix balanced using a combination of immediate traffic generation, mid-term strategies and long-term targeted traffic magnets. With a good balance you can have a good launch, then continue to see sales from that product, service or affiliate marketing promotion for some time to come as you turn your focus to your next money-making opportunity!

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.

Twitter is representative of a broad cross-section of society, albeit that segment of society who are functionally literate and computer/internet users.

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.

Twitter is not just for fun but can also be used much like other social networking media to gain more targeted traffic – an important part of any marketing, and a specialty of Twitter marketing. In this case, you want to attract more targeted blog traffic. Twitter can be a big help with that.

Like other social networks, millions of people use Twitter. It is a micro-universe of potential visitors just waiting to be tapped. The question is how to get them to take a look at you.

First of all, sign up for an account. You can’t find the right people unless you get in the game. Target your Twitter marketing right from the start – look for followers in your particular niche.

Next, get involved. Read other people’s tweets; join as a follower for popular tweeters. You can use Twitter applications to track the tweets of others and also do keyword searches for interesting tweets. Comment on current tweets and get a feel for how it works and who everyone is following.

The best thing about Twitter is that it works in real time from your PC. You can ask questions to find out any type of information. If you are looking for followers interested in gardening (if that is the niche you’re marketing to), pose the question in a tweet and wait for responses. You’ll be surprised what you hear back.

Posing questions is one way to find suitable traffic for your blog. You want more visitors but the kind of visitors who are likely to come back and buy from you if you are selling a product. It is a research tool that returns immediate results.

More Twitter Marketing advice…

There are a few things to observe. In your tweets, use keywords. It might be hard with so few characters, but you want to include searchable words that anyone will enter into a Twitter search engine to find your tweets.

Use the site to find others with similar business interests or to pose interesting views and get feedback. Link to your blog regularly, and for advanced Twitter marketing use the free TweetMyBlog plugin to send a tweet with a link to your latest post each time you post to your blog.

It takes time to build up a following of followers on Twitter just like any other social networking site. The plus with Twitter is that the results are more immediate that with other social sites, making it easy to instantly guage and adjust your twitter marketing strategies. Find the targeted visitors you are after with a few questions and then join in the twittering to build a rapport that translates into more traffic.
