Twitter Marketing Tips and Top Twitter Tools

Twitter is like micro-blogging or text messaging because your post is limited to 140 characters but it is extremely popular and every day more and more people are using it for marketing their online business.

Here are some Twitter marketing ideas you can use to promote your business:

€ Promote deals, specials, or sales. If you are a store owner or have an online business you can use Twitter to announce these sales and deals instantly to a huge audience.

€ Post live updates on events or meetings. It is ideal to advertise a corporate event or popular local events. With Twitter you also can keep people posted about last minute changes. It is an awesome last minute marketing tool.

€ Advertise your blog, ebooks articles, webinars, revel ant headlines and more. It's a breeze to post a link to something in Twitter, and I often post links to blog articles, forum articles and news article. Post links to free how to videos related to your niche or a free webinar.

Twitter is also great for creating quality backlinks to your website and boosting page rank. Bing and Google confirmed that links shared through Twitter and Facebook have a direct impact on rankings.
