A little over a year ago I set up a Twitter account and started trying to find like-minded people to connect with by following people in my niche.

Soon after I started using Twitter and seeing all of the people with 10k or more followers, I started looking into ways to build a large following, and the free website I share in the video below helped me out a lot.

To your success,

If you’ve been wanting to do some search engine optimization on some keywords that you don’t necessarily want to have show up on the main page of your blog, or if you want to create pages on your blog that you don’t want listed in your page menu, you may want to check out the plugins that I share in today’s video.

Being able to hide your pages is great if you have created lead capture pages you are using for pay per click advertising.

You may want to play this video in full screen mode. I shot it using Jing, so I couldn’t zoom in and out.

To your success,

I was just reading a post by Darren Rowse, and thought I should share this simple but great idea for improving your blog today. I read through it and thought, I’ll do that later…then decided I needed to go ahead and do it now. In three minutes I came up with 12 new post ideas. You can check it out at www.ProBlogger.net.

I just read a great post by Chris Brogan about a great way to add a little more information to the descriptions people include about who you should follow on Follow Friday as well as a way to de-clutter Twitter a little as we roll into the weekend. Check out Chris’s great blog at www.ChrisBrogan.com.

Attraction Marketing with Twitter

You probably already know that Twitter has become the fastest growing social media site in the world.  By June of last year the number of worldwide Twitter users had skyrocketed to 44.5 million and its growth for the year has been estimated at 2,800%.  So, what does this mean to you and your business? Well, if you haven’t already started building your network with Twitter, now is the certainly the time to get moving.

I’m sorry to say that when I first signed up for Twitter almost a year ago, I didn’t really think there was going to be much to it, but I now know I was wrong. (My friends and family will be astounded to see this confession, since they think I think I’m always right.)  I have recently been working on Twitter and have already begun to generate leads from my efforts in just a few days. 

I have found some great tools to help me with my Twitter marketing efforts, so I wanted to share them with you. The list below contains 6 great Twitter tools you can use to maximize your effectiveness:
