Beginner Blogger

I’ve been a bit slow, but I’ve finally entered the wonderful world of Twitter and must say it’s quite amazing. The bulk of my traffic for this site has been coming through the use of my twitter account. Having only just opened my account a few weeks ago I already have over 50 followers and am building relationships with those on Twitter. It’s a fantastic way to meet others that share the same interest with you and be able to interact and share information with them. I’ll show you how I’ve gone about my ‘twittering‘

Firstly I signed up to Twitter

This was very easy to do and took me 5 minutes tops . Go to www.twitter.com and sign up with an account. Easy.

Typed my first ‘Tweet’ (check out some of the lingo here)

I believe I said something along the lines of ‘I just set up my twitter account for my site beginnerblogger.com – exciting stuff!’ Later on that same day I had a couple of people ‘follow’ me. This means that they added me to their friends list and whenever I type a ‘tweet’ or type in a message they will see it in their account. I had the option of following them too, unfortunately they were spam account so I didn’t follow them. I figured if I’m going to have to find some (quality) people on my own to start with, without waiting for people to follow me. But how do I do this?

Downloaded TweetDeck for iPhone and desktop

This was the greatest thing I did. This is such a powerful Twittering tool. If you’re serious about twittering and you haven’t downloaded TweetDeck – get it now! TweetDeck allows you to create multiple columns – for example you can see all your friends tweets like you would at twitter.com in one column, in another you could have all your direct messages, in another favourites and so on.

It is because of TweetDeck that I was able to build such a strong following with just a couple of weeks and find people that I really want to communicate with. My method of doing this was to create a multiple columns of search terms like ‘beginner blogger’, ‘new to blogging’, ‘how to blog’ etc. TweetDeck will only show up the tweets in these columns that match up to the search term you entered. This allowed me to follow people that were new to blogging and starting out and thus allowed me to communicate with them. Fantastic! Just what I want to do, get closer to my target audience.

Did I mention that TweetDeck also manages multiple twitter accounts? Also on the desktop version you can manage your facebook account on TweetDeck as well! So again, if you’re serious about your twittering definitely download TweetDeck – you won’t regret it!

Of course there are many many other ways to use twitter, many different other twitter applications and much more about twitter than I probably even know at this point. If you haven’t already add me to twitter Happy twittering!!
