How to Use Twitter to Generate Traffic

Twitter is a wonderful tool which can help you generate http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giftraffic to your various websites. Let us know how best we can make use of it. You may or may not have an account already, but for the purposes of this report, we’ll start from scratch. It’s very easy and free to sign up at http://www.twitter.com.

  The one thing you really need to concentrate on is your profile and your one line bio. You have to make yourself sound exciting in 140 characters, as this is what many people will read in making their decision on whether to follow you or not. Twitter is best described as a micro blogging platform. You are limited to 140 characters each time you do an update, which initially, may seem a small amount. However, as you become more experienced, it’s just amazing what you can fit into 140 characters.

 I’ve read mind-boggling stories with less than 140 characters. You might also want to consider creating a background in order to differentiate yourself and offset yourself from other Twitter users. Some people create backgrounds that have all their contact details on so that their followers know how to get in contact in other ways than just using Twitter. 

 Now you are ready to tweet. Before you start looking for followers, make sure you have at least a few tweets to your name as an empty page is a turn off when asking people to follow you. Tips on Tweeting A quick warning here! Do not send out too many promotional tweets. A good ratio to have is 9 informational tweets to 1 promotional tweet. 

This way you will not lose too many followers and keep attracting new ones. To establish yourself on Twitter, you will want to post lots of good content on your Tweets. You can send your followers links to other articles, press releases, blog posts etc. to get even more visitors to your websites. Try to keep your posts interesting and personal as this will let people find out more about you and your business. People do business with people they know and trust – and Twitter helps us achieve this.

 Ensure that you regularly post tweets, as the more you tweet the more traffic you can send to your websites. Followers are more likely to stick with people who twitter regularly, so set up some kind of tweeting schedule. A good way to convert followers into customers is to send tweets about free seminars, or video training that they can attend, with a small sales pitch at the end. Re-tweeting is a good habit to get into as well; as this will help you get followers. Re-tweeting is where you tweet about another tweet that somebody else made. By re-tweeting what you find interesting it provides value to your followers, and if they like what you refer them to they will begin to trust you. You will also start to build good relationships with the original tweeter, who may very well return the favour and re-tweet your interesting tweets. Finding Followers Next, we need to find followers.

 Over the long term, the best way to do this is to post great content. If your tweets are interesting enough, people will follow you without you having to do too much work. But in the early days how DO you get people to follow you? Each tool listed helps to expand your presence while establishing your authority. Most respected online entrepreneurs use these to find prospects, spread their message and make connections with their target market. A good strategy is to look at the other people who are operating in your niche.

 Find them and then look at who their followers are and follow them. You should find that quite a few people will return the favour and follow you back. Once you have got a few followers, you become more credible to other users. Post good content and make your Tweets interesting and you can easily start to build a loyal following. Twitter Tools to Help In an ideal world, we could easily spend hours on Twitter, but this is not always possible and there are tools available to help us make the most of Tthis site. Some people send tweets every day, and although this is a good idea we don’t always have the time. 

A tool called Future Tweets (found at http://futuretweets.com) means we can automatically post prepared tweets at predetermined times. HootSuite (http://hootsuite.com) is free, and it’s the most professional Twitter client I have used. It’s packed with features and the interface is awesome. There are so many tools available for Twitter – way too many to mention here, so do a Google search for “Twitter Word press plug-in” and “Twitter tools business” to open your eyes to the amazing variety of what is available. 

Twitter Checklist Here is a little checklist that you can keep next to your computer to help you make the most of Twitter as a traffic generating tool: Shout to the world that you are on Twitter Send informational tweets regularly. (Remember the ratio – 9 informational:1 promotional) Re-tweet any good tweets you come across Reply to the tweets addressed to you, as this builds relationships Pay attention to the kind of tweets you are sending (make them personal and sometimes talk about every day stuff. People love gossip.) Listen to what people are tweeting – can you help? Build relationships

Madhu Pandit Dasa : Poverty is the primary cause for lack of education

Nelson Mandela, once said “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”

Education not only gives people the means to a better life but also something more profound: the ability to grow and learn through one’s own experiences. The strength of a nation can often be determined by the education of its people.

India, with nearly one sixth of the world’s population, is a booming economy poised to take over as one of the world’s superpowers. Yet this glittering fact goes hand in hand with the harsh truth of abject poverty facing nearly half of the nation’s people. With 42% of the country’s population living below the international poverty line, the nation is struggling to keep up with many of the rapidly growing countries in the world.

So what can be done? Just how far can India go before it is forced to deal with these facts? Madhu Pandit Dasa, the Chairman of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, one of India’s leading non-profits believes that educating the nations’ children is the only answer.

“We need to make sure that every child is well nourished, educated and enabled to become productive. India has the youngest population in the world and it is Her children who will shape the future of the country.”

But the solution may not be as simple as that. With over 700 million people in the country living a hand-to-mouth existence education is a luxury that few have access to.

“Poverty is the primary cause for lack of education,” says Madhu Pandit Dasa. “When children do not even have access to food, there is no possibility for education. Poverty and hunger go hand in hand in this complex problem. If we are to change the face of India, we must get to the root of the problem: hunger.”

In fact, Madhu Pandit Dasa says, Akshaya Patra’s vision: ‘No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger’ reflects this two-pronged strategy to solving the problem. Himself a graduate of one of India’s leading universities, IIT, Madhu Pandit Dasa has been involved in Akshaya Patra’s mid-day meal program since its beginning. He firmly believes this scheme will bring about the lasting change that India needs.

By providing children with freshly cooked mid-day meals on school days, the organization not only hopes to combat this problem of hunger, but also encourage them to continue their education. For nearly a decade this children’s charity has been dedicated to this cause. As Madhu Pandit Dasa puts it, “At The Akshaya Patra Foundation we strive to build an educated India. We believe that reducing hunger will change the future of our country’s children.”

But does it really work? Is it as simple as providing food? After all, it’s better to teach a man to fish than give him a fish.

According to an independent study conducted by A.C Nielson ORG MARG Pvt. Ltd. India’s leading survey firm, the program has worked wonders. In some areas, such as Baran where the program is being conducted, school enrolment in Class I has increased by 41.3%. There have also been marked improvements in attendance, retention rates, classroom performance and most importantly, the health of the children.

When asked if he believes the problem is too complex for any lasting solution, Madhu Pandit Dasa had this to say

“One thing is certain from this experience: there is boundless compassion in this world. We must involve more and more willing human hearts. It is possible, but only when we work together.”
