5 Popular Twitter Plugins which you can include in your blog

With twitter becoming popular day by day, it has now become a great way to attract readers from twitter for your blog and grow the community. There are many twitter plugins out there and thus I am listing here 5 Popular Twitter Plugins which you can install in your blog that could help in increasing the fun for your commentators, readers and twitter followers.

1. WP-Twittip ID

WP-Twittip ID plugin adds an extra field in the comments section of your blog so your readers can enter their twitter profile usernames. The plugin then shows the twitter username and links to his/her twitter profile. I installed this plugin in the recent update of making commenting on this blog better. Till now it has been a great thing for my readers.

2. Tweetmeme

TweetMeme Plugin enables your readers to tweet your article, if they like it, to their twitter profile. The plugin provides a shorten link and a Title of the article. With every unique tweet the counter goes up by 1 point. An alternative of this plugin is TwitThis which is also popular amongst many bloggers. This has proved a very good way to increase blog readership.

3. Twittar

This simple little plugin – Twittar from SmashingMagazine, adds the Twitter avatars in the comment section by matching the email address to the user’s Twitter email address. Suppose if that user still doesn’t uses twitter then it will load a gravatar of that email ID and if he doesn’t have a gravatar also, then it will load a default image. Installing this plugin will have a better appearance in the comment section with all the commentators with their own image in his comments.

4. Tweetbacks

The Tweetbacks imports the tweets/conversation about an article on your blog and enters it in the comments section. You can display among other comments of the article or show them separately. So, when someone tweets with the URL ofyour blog or any of your items, it will automatically be included in the comments section of your blog.

5. Twitter Tools

Twitter Tools plugin integrates your twitter account with your wordpress blog. With this you can show weekly collection of your tweets and publish them automatically as a article on the blog. Plus you can also show latest tweets from yourtwitter account in the sidebar through the widget.

I hope these 5 plugins for Twitter will help you to incorporate Twitter into your blog. Doing this will make your blog more interactive and more attractive for other Twitter users and may result in more comments from users of Twitter and you could see an increase in the number of followers and readers.

So What are your favorite one amongst these? Also do tell me if you use any other popular twitter plugin on your blog.

7 Twitter Tips For Beginners

Twitter is nothing new. But it sure is the ‘new craze’. Everyone has a twitter account. Celebrities, bloggers, the president, you, and me. Being something different than most of the social sites out there makes most beginners get confused on how to use it. If you are ready to jump intoTwitter, but don’t know how to get started then this article may help you.

So this blog post will concentrate on a few tips for the new tweeters.

1. Use Those 140 Characters Effectively

You’re limited to 140 characters in every tweet. So use them effectively. Use shorthand codes (LOL, AFK, BRB, etc). There’s nothing wrong with using them ontwitter . And also do not post full URLs. Post shortened ones. Of course they automatically get shortened when posted, but while posting, they DO take up characters. So use sites like IS.GD to shorten your URLs.

2. Don’t Follow Every Jack and Jill

Those who primarily engage in twitter to market their blogs, will often be interested in increasing the number of followers they have. One of the often recommended ways of getting a good following is to follow every XYZ user in the hopes they’ll follow you back. Quite frankly… this is pointless. You’d rather have 100 followers who share your interests as opposed to 1000 followers who are uninteractive and not concerned.

3. Plain English, Please

Shorthand codes are just fine. But please don’t experiment with weird stuff every time and again. It tends to tick people off. Not every tweet of yours has to be a mystery and puzzle. Plain English does the task just as good!

4. Re-Tweet… With Thanks To Original Tweeter

Sure you can copy others’ tweets. But be ethical and credit them for it. So when you decide to copy someone’s tweet, do it with a @name (where ‘name’ is theirtwitter username) preceding the tweet.

5. Don’t Look Blindly… Search Instead

You can also search for your friends or specific twitter users (celebs, etc). Just use search.twitter.com.

6. Share Pictures On Twitter

Bet you weren’t aware of this, were you? . Using services such as twitpic.com you can upload and share pictures on your twitter account in your tweets. Sometimes, the pictures speak better than 140 characters would. Not to forget that they also add variety to your tweets every once in a while.

7. Model Successful Tweeters

Truth is, sometimes you need to look at the successful tweeters and see how they’re doing things. You don’t have to copy them in every aspect. Just look at them and how they do things. That should help you deduce where you’re probably going wrong and what you need to improve on.

Conclusion

Tweeting may seem very easy for everyone. But if you are using Twitter as a medium of marketing/promoting/making friends, then these tips as a Twitter Beginner will help you in it. Well, Are you using Twitter? If yes, did you used any stratergy while tweeting? Would you like to share any twitter tip which will help a beginner? Do so by commeting below.

Today I will talk about 5 Best Sites which are probably included in most of such e-books which will help you Make Money Online with Twitter.

1.RevTwt

RevTwt is like Google adsense for Twitter. With the help of RevTwt you can earn money on the basis of Cost per Click(CPC), Cost per Thousand Followers(CPT) and Cost per action(CPA). In CPC, you just have to post the advertisement you like to your twitter timeline. When the people who are following you clicks on the ad you posted, then you get paid for each valid click according to the ad condition.

On the other hand, with CPT, you can earn a fix amount for every 1000 followers. Yet, this type of advertising still needs some pace as the advertisers are hardly few and aren’t willing to put their money easily into it but still you can try your luck. And CPA, is simple. You can post it anywhere you want, like on forums or blog. When some user completes the full given action stated by advertiser like email submit, then you get paid for it. Check out RevTwt!

2. Be-a-Magpie

Be-a-Magpie is another way to make money with Twitter by posting ads. But on be-a-magpie you will find mostly lead based advertisers which pays you a certain percentage or money on every sale you reffer. So this might be hard for many twitterers. But at the end you will get a big amount on every sale. Check out Be-a-Magpie!

3. Twittad

Twittad can help you make money with twitter if any advertiser sponsors your profile for a time period. Actually I reviewed about Twittad last year but still lemme tell you once more.

After registering and submitting your twitter account info you will be asked to set a price for a time period like 7 days,15 days etc. After setting a price say $15 for 7 days, if any advertiser is interested in sponsoring your twitter profile then you will get that money. Remember that the advertiser will now have control to post the ad any time during that period(here example was 7days). Check out Twittad!

4. Sponsored Tweets

Launched just few days back. Sponsored Tweets is not a new thing in making money with Twitter but it is having the support of Izea! to Kick start things. You make money for sending out tweet from the advertisers. As it is new, there are very few advertisers on that network. But if you are having big follower count like of 20000+ or you are celebrity kind(is there someone?) then you might get an advertiser easily. I haven’t got any offer from there till now but still have a close watch on that site in coming future. Check out Sponsored Tweets.

5. Assetize

Assetize helps you to sell unique or important twitter account to the needy one’s and make profit from it. It’s like selling domain. After registering, list your unique or important account for free and place a starting bid. People Bid on your listed profile account and you then get paid when the bidding is over.

People can get success in making money with their Twitter profile like we use blogging as a mean to make money. And the best thing about Twitter is that profile pages as well as lots of services related to twitter are free. In today’s post, I’m going to discuss Top 10 Killer Ideas For Making Money With Twitter:

Idea 1: Direct Advertising

The companies which want to advertise their products through Twitter. However, these companies require a high click-through rate of your tweets. The click through rate of your tweets can be analyzed by URL tracking services like bit.ly or SU.pr. Also you will be requiring a large number of followers. So if you have a good click-through ratio and large number of people following you then this is a good option.

Idea 2: Monetizing Twitter Profile Background

The background of Twitter profile can you earn you some money too. There are websites like TwittAd.com which provide services to twitter user to monetize their twitter background page. Advertisers who are interested in you will place a background image on our profile which provides publicity to their company. You can select the duration and price you want to keep your advertiser. Once that is finalized TwittAd will use theTwitter API to upload the ad to your Twitter profile.

Idea 3: Personal Bio

Did you know that your bio on Twitter could also be worth some money. Bio is the area of your Twitter profile page where you write about yourself. You can make money by putting a sales message on your bio.

Idea 4: Redirecting Services

This method to make money on Twitter is somewhat similar to the CPV (cost-per-view) way of making money. When a person clicks on your tweet links to reach his desired page then there is an advertisement page that opens up for a few seconds before it is redirected to the landing page. The payout in this type of advertising is generally in CPM (per thousand impressions). The only drawback is that this may not be appreciated by your followers who click on your link. So the point is to not put an ad link to all links that tweet on your profile.

Idea 5: Finding Sponsors

Twitter could be a great place where you can find your future sponsors. You can carefully have many people of your blog niche following you and then tweet for sponsors. Many webmasters have found sponsors by tweeting it onTwitter.

Idea 6: Tweeting Affiliate Links

This is a way to sell affiliate products through your tweets. If you are a reputed Twitter user with many followers then there is a high chance that your followers purchase affiliate links that you recommend. So by tweeting link to the affiliate product page you can get high commission on each sale depending on the product. Just make sure that you are selling quality products and not poor quality as it will affect your credibility for future affiliate sales.

Idea 7: Build a Brand

By tweeting you can eventually build a brand for your company. By tweeting your niche posts. You can create a brand image for yourself or your company.Twitter is a powerful medium which many people use; it is up to us to brand ourselves. This can happen in the long run as people will slowly begin to recognize you.

Idea 8: Professional Twitterer

This is a lot like pro-blogging, those who become professional Twitterers. Pro-Twitterers are people who do not tweet for themselves but are hired by big corporations and companies to build an online presence throughTwitter.

Idea 9: Twitter Trends

You can keep up with the trends that are occurring on Twitter to optimize it on your site. These trends are topics that people are looking for most on the internet. You can make use of this trend to post new topics or provide new insight.

3 Twitter Monetization Models to Make Money with Twitter

Twitter is one of the places online which receive the most buzz, they say over 17 million users register with Twitter every month and as usual these kinds of sites become a promotional tools for marketers. There are many web and non – web companies promoting themselves on Twitter, some of them include Dell, CNN and Wall Street Journal.
Many people are trying to the buzz of Twitter and this race has given birth to many third party Twitter apps for doing so. They say Dell makes 4 sales every minute using Twitter and it is true.

I started using Twitter like 4 months ago and I’ve already got plenty of followers and upto 10 – 20 people read every tweet I make. Now, the question is, how can this buzz help you to fill up your pockets?

This guide will give you different models of monetization with their advantages and disadvantages.

Direct advertising

If you are a famous person or own a well known business you can sell your followership to internet marketers. Recently Darren Rowse, started Pay-Per-Tweet advertising and he sells it all on his own. For doing this you’ll need a good reputation and a followership. There are rare chances of advertisers contacting you throughTwitter, so you may have to create a blog for selling your services.

You should choose the prices according to your followers and their readership rate as up to 50% of your followers can be spammers. I’d advice you start of with as low as $0.01 a tweet, as this can bring you awareness and a firm platform. Do not Tweet out only advertisements as this may cause you to loose advertisers.

Affiliate marketing

This is the easiest and the most efficient way of monetizeing your account, as affiliate click through rates are high on Twitter. This is the idea which everyone is looking into as if you are not a well known personalty finding advertisers can be tough. Finding affiliate programs are easy and almost every product or service has a payout of up to 20% – 60%. For getting good results their are some factors to consider,

• Cloaking affiliate links – Your followers should not know that what you just tweeted is an affiliate link, cloak your URLs with URL shorteners.
• Creating landing pages - If you give a lin directly to your affiliates site then there will be click throughs but no one would buy or sign up for anything. Create a landing page describing you affiliates product in one or more pages
• Equal proportion - Your tweeting of affiliate links should be like 1 affiliate link for every 10 normal tweets. This helps you to keep your followers happy.

Use a third party network

The increasing popularity of Twitter has given birth to many ad networks dedicated to Twitter advertising. There are many advantages of these ad networks as ad sales are automated and you won’t have to find advertiser’s yourself, but there are many disadvantages as well, not all of these networks allow you to choose the ads that are tweeted and you cannot maintain an equal proportion your tweets and the ads posted. I have listed some of these networks below,

• SponsoredTweets
• Twittad
• RevTwt
• Be-a-Magpie
