The questions have been asked time and again for more than a year; “Does Twitter have a business model?” and “How will Twitter monetize their business?” It appears that those questions will be answered today in part as Twitter announces “Promoted Tweets,” a new service that has been in beta and will allow advertisers ads to appear in relevant search results.

Twitter users post more than 55 million tweets everyday and many of those tweets will be leveraged by companies like Virgin America, Best Buy and Starbucks all of whom are already on board. Promoted Tweets provides an interesting new option for Internet marketers who have suffered the sting of advertsing slaps from Google in the past year.

Promoted Tweets Twitter1 Promoted Tweets: New Business Model for Twitter

Many savvy marketers have shifted their advertising dollars for search campaigns to Facebook in recent months and Promoted Tweets offers another option to reach a targeted audience in any niche.

This is great news for small business owners and solo-entrepreneurs who can now attract and gather followers in their niche through participation in the Promoted Tweets program, which then allows them to further leverage their advertising dollars with future tweets to those followers with no additional cost.

CNBC reported yesterday that Twitter may value post and pricing based on how much a “Promoted Tweet” is passed around — its “resonance.”

Here is an overview from CNBC’s Julia Boorstin.

We will learn more today and this may also spell the end to the wide open frontier for independent applications developers who have created more than 70 million applications as Twitter begins to focus on drawing profit from it’s platform.

My friend John Guanzon has partnered with Brett Phillips to introduce “TE Reports” is a membership website that contains twelve e-book titles that you can re-brand with your links and give away as part of your list building campaigns or as a free bonus on your blogs and websites. These are quality high in demand e-books that will add tremendous value for you and your subscriber list.

Step 3: Add your profile photo and integrate your auto-responder in the back office

Step 5: Contact your new subscribers and build relationships

In addition to building a list with this website you will also be paid up to 50% commissions for anyone you refer that decides to upgrade to a paid membership in order to access customized squeeze pages and other bonuses. It has been my experience that a percentage of your new subscribers will see the value of the upgrade offer and will decide to take action by doing so.

The set up for this free site is super simple and marketing free reports is comparatively easy as people are very receptive to these offers. So, give this site a try and be sure to read each of the twelve books yourself in order to benefit from the content contained in each book.

I was cleaning up my in-box today and came across a questions I get at least once per week; “excuse me, are you James Holmes who wrote all those great books on Java Programming?”  - this guy is pretty famous! So I decided to write a blog post about the other James Holmes and answer the question in advance for future visitors.

The other James Holmes is an authority on Java Web development and has authored many books on the subject. He is a committer on the Struts project, and the creator of the most popular Struts development tool, Struts Console. Additionally, Oracle Magazine named him “Java Developer of the Year” in 2002 for his work with the Struts framework and Oracle J-Developer.

ecover 250 Effective List Building Part 7: Invest in Relationships to Explode Your List

Assuming that you have been taking action on what I have been teaching in this series you now have the foundation of a great list! Once you have began too build your list of opt in subscribers you must consistently work to establish and strengthen your relationships. Building your list is the first step and managing your list effectively is how you convert your list into a stable businesses.

Segment Your List and Focus on Your Subscribers Needs

I highly recommend segmenting your list and make it your practice to send targeted emails to each segment of your list as well as more general messages that apply to your entire list. The classification each particular subscriber from unqualified prospect to loyal repeat customer and everything in between, your subscribers should feel that you are speaking to their specific needs.

Here are a few recommended categories in which you can classify your subscribers:

  • Unqualified Prospects
  • Qualified Prospects
  • Loyal Followers
  • New Customers
  • Loyal Customers
  • Former Customers (Subscribed but no longer buying)
  • Unsubscribed

Publish an E-zine to build Relationships

One of the best ways to build a strong relationship with your list is by consistently publishing an e-zine containing relevant, actionable content that adds high value for your subscribers. The format and frequency is up to you and I would recommend studying popular e-zines in your niche and strive to add something unique to your market.

Despite what others may suggest, it is perfectly fine to sell through your e-zine, just don’t become too promotional and make sure that each issue delivers extreme value and that any promotion that you include are congruent with the content contained in the e-zine. If you are an Internet marketer you cannot afford to be afraid to make offers, your list actually experts you to make recommendations of products and services that you believe will help them in their businesses.

Here are some great ways to add value through your e-zine:

  • Survey your readers to allow and allow them to express their biggest challenges, greatest opportunities or most pressing questions.
  • Include your subscribers questions and feedback in subsequent issues of your e-zine.
  • Make it easy for your subscribers to interact with you. Provide a link to a comment or contact form on your blog as an efficient metod of gathering comments and posting replies.
  • Acknowledge and reward your loyal e-zine subscribers. Provide them with free resources and tools to demonstrate that you value their relationship.

Educate with Emails That Sell

When you sit down to write a subscriber email be sure to add value first and sell second – this will demonstrate your authentic purpose to your readers and breakdown any resistance they may have to being sold. No one takes the time to opt into a list for the sole purpose of being endlessly pitched on products, services or opportunities. However, if you make it clear through the consistency of your messages that your desire is both to inform your list, make recommendation and share opportunities, you will simply be fulfilling the expectations you have set before them.

Here are some great ways to add value through your e-mail:

  • Provides tips and resources that will help your readers improve their business
  • Provide tips and resources that will help your readers make more money
  • Provide tips and resources that will help your readers solve big problems
  • provide tips and resources that will help your readers grow as individuals

Be selfless and discover your authentic voice when writing to your list. It is ok to be personal (in fact recommended) to be personal, again you are building a relationship. People buy from those they know, like and trust. By sharing a bit about your personal life, your aspirations, your challenges and accomplishments you will establish true relationships and lasting loyalty with those who have chosen to follow you.

I am here to help you succeed and achieve abundance in all aspects of your life!
