3 Tools For Twitter I Use Building My Healthy Chocolate Business
If you are trying to build an Internet following for your business you need to be using Twitter.
Why?
Simple, it's powerful. I am personally using Twitter to build my healthy chocolate business.
Here are 3 tools for Twitter I wouldn't be without.
1. Twitter Grader
Twitter grader lets you know how you stack up against the rest of Twitville, but that is only the start.
It also allows you to post messages (including videos) via the new bar they just installed. And you can find out your grade from FaceBook using their new FaceBook Grader. While these are two new tools that Twitter Grader has just added what they already had available was indispensable in and of itself.
Using Twitter Grader you can find elite people for your area or your topic as well as well as recommendations that Twitter Grader has for your niche topic. Building on the shoulders of the elite within your niche is one way to gain a powerful influence in Twitter quite quickly.
2. Twitter Karma
If you set out to use Twitter for very long you may find that soon you are unable to add any further people.
Why?
Probably because you have reached your max quota given the amount of people that are following you. This is where Twitter Karma helps out. Using their tool you can unfollow those who have not chosen to follow you.
I was concerned about what doing this would do to my Twitter grade, but it actually went up not down. I take that to mean that Twitter prefers people to follow each other instead of one way follows.
3. Twollo
Do you have a niche or topic that you want to build an audience for? Twollo is your answer.
For me, I wanted a group of weight loss people that I could tell about the benefits of healthy chocolate on weight. So I setup a "weight loss" Twollo and quickly started growing an audience.
These are just 3 of many tools that make Twitter a very valuable asset on the web. Here are several other items I use that involve Twitter in one way or another which I would highly recommend you check out.
* Ping.FM (bring all your social network sites together as one.)
* SocialTool.com (instant surveys and automated welcome messages.)
* Twitzu.com (promote your opportunity.)
I hope you find as much value in these tools for Twitter as I have.
If you would help my healthy chocolate business grow by taking my personalized healthy chocolate survey I would greatly appreciate it. You will find a link to that survey at http://BodyByChocolates.com.
