Tweetake Allows users to login to twitter and then back up all of there account data. The output file is created as an easy to use Excel .csv file, so if you have MS Office, OpenOffice.org or pretty much any other office program in the world you can view all your followers, messages and friends in one spreadsheet. No more scrolling and scrolling on twitter and waiting for twitter to quit timing out. Just download your info and your on your way!

There are so many twitter apps out there these days, we are always surprised when we run across another one that was actually helpful, useful and free.  This twitter app may not be for everybody, but it sure is a great service for those who will use it.

So, if you like this new feature you should make sure to have your voice heard and chime in on the site to let the owners know that you want it to stay.  If not let em know all the same, twitter is a community based site and your voice does count!

What Is The Twitter List?

The twitter list is nothing more than a group on twitter.  You can create a new twitter list from your account and add who ever you like to it, this seems to be a new way to create miniature focus groups on your account.  This new feature adopts the same “one way follow” ability that twitter has created with there original site.  You get a new extension type web address that includes the name of your group in the address to keep it juicy for the search engines.  People can follow your list without being invited, unless you mark it as private, then you get total control over who is there and who is not.

How Do I Get More Follower By Making A Twitter List

OK..OK you may not get more followers exactly, but this new feature definitely gives you an opportunity to get more people viewing your tweets and raises your syndication power on the twitter site and off.  By this we believe you can use this new tool to assist in the growth of your twitter following to an astronomical amount.

Why Having A Gazillion Followers Will Not Make You an Automatic Success on Twitter

The number of people following you really has nothing to do with your success or lack there of on twitter.  This has to be the biggest misconseption of new Twitter marketers that I have run across to date.  I know everybody loves to see big numbers under their name, but when it comes down to it, these numbers mean a lot more if you know how you got them.

By this I mean, if you go jump on every viral Twitter Follower site you come across, 2 things happen:

1. You are folling the same people, everybody who went to that site is following everybody who went to that site!  Does that make you have more pull with these people?  No, not at all and in fact, probably less.  People going to these sites are looking for one thing and that is followers, they have no interest in you or what you are tweeting about.
2. You have now effectively taken away what ever good name you had on twitter by filling your tweets with spam from these sites.  Most of these sites send out a rediculus ammount of self serving messages.  Do you really want to promote the same junk?  I hope not.

Twitter Follower : Quality Over Quantity

The ONLY way to get more results from your twitter following, is to assure that you are adding people who know you or at least have similar interest.  Adding a “Follow Me” link on your main web site or blog is a great way to get real interested followers, because these followers have already seen your site and know what to expect and in most cases will be hungry for the information you are sharing.  If you are on many social networks, let all your friends and fans on all these sites know how to follow you on twitter as well, these will become quality followers as well.

If you only build your following by automated resources, you will have built a pretty weak army, there are some follow systems that allow you to choose topics of interest and these fall in the middle in my mind.

Twitter Testing and Results

Just to assure myself that I was not just blowing smoke with this post, I recently setup a few accounts on twitter.  I setup 2 that I hand picked the followers, make direct contact with each and built the way I suggest you do and I setup 2 accounts with autofollow twitter followers only.  I am sure you can guess the results and in this case the 90/10 rule really did prove itself.

I send out one promo tweet each day to all accounts, among other real messages.  I saw only about 10% the number of clickthroughs come from my auto follow accounts.   If you are an internet marketer trying to use twitter to get clicks and get paid, I think you get the picture.

Taking the time to grow your twitter account really does pay off!  If you want big numbers, go auto follow til you hearts content, but don’t expect these guys to pay the bills for you!

How Many Twitter Followers Do You Have? Who Cares! is a post from: My Twitter Tactics - The Free Twitter Tips Source!

My Twitter Tactics and its associates have been keeping an eye on Twitter and it is a growing beast. It’s size dwarfs most of its social media competition.  Of course there are many who have tried to take advantage of twitters rapid growth and cash in on new members trying to get more followers and so on. But besides getting paid to tell people how to use twitter, how else can you make money on this site?

Well there are many huge companies that use twitter updates to let their clients know about the best deals and when they have sales and this is a great way to keep in contact with your customers.  However, we think that this is not much of a step up from email, especially since your customers will have to go get a twitter account to take advantage of what you are offering in this manor.

On the other hand, what about affiliate marketing?

Well there are some great aspects to twitters functionality that really tend to affiliate marketers.  So, lets cover some of the advantages of using twitter for affiliate marketing and see if this may be your next online business.

Twitter Affiliate Marketing Advantages

1. Massive User Base

Well if you are going to market anything, you will want to have a large number of people to show your offers to and twitter definetely has one of the largest user bases on the net, so this makes it  a perfect ground to start sharing or advertising any affiliate product or service.

2. Allows Links

Of course twitter allows you to send out links to whatever you want and if you are a marketer, there are no “google slaps” so to speak for sending out information on same or similar items.  Many sites ban users from sending duplicate links over time or mark certain addresses as spam by default, not twitter!

3. Target Market

Well if you want to preach to the choir with your advertising campaign, you will not find a better place to do it.  You can use the new search feature on twitter to find users who are discussing anything in the world.  So why not use this to do a little market research and see if you can find some new followers at the same time?

4. No Web Site Needed

Of course, you can add a website to your profile and it doesn’t hurt to do that, but the point is that you don’t need your own website to grow your web presence on twitter.  If you are promoting an affiliate site, you can simply add it as your homepage on your profile and drive even more traffic to your opportunity or service.

5. Tiny URL

OK, for some this may not make since right off the bat, but what I mean by this is the fact that twitter automatically uses tinyurl to shorten long urls.  In the past, an affiliate marketer who was sending out his affiliate link would be given away by the long web address with his affiliate code in it.  No more, your urls are shortened for you and nobody worries about the nondescript web address, because that is how so many show up by default on twitter.  This can be a huge advantage for an affiliate marketer!

Here is a link to one of my favorite items to use to make some extra money on twitter right now, its just like google adsense, but for twitter and it is free to use: RevTWT

I know this article was short and sweet, but if you think about the points I have made above, I think you will agree that twitter is quickly becoming an affiliate marketers best friend.  So go get you an amazon account and start making some extra cash today.  If there is ever anything that I can do to help you with your twitter marketing campaign, don’t hesitate to contact me direct, I would love to see how I can help.
