Twitter Marketing With TweetDeck
One of my favorite Twitter marketing tools is TweetDeck. (http://tweetdeck.com/beta/) It’s a better way to use Twitter than Twitter itself! If you are using Twitter in your marketing, TweetDeck allows you to view all your relevant info in one simple console. It’s a free download, and currently considered beta software, but I haven’t had any technical problems with it.
I use four columns on my TweetDeck application: All Friends, Replies, Direct Messages, and Search.
All Friends. This column displays all of your friends tweets, in real time. I usually open TweetDeck once or twice a day, so the first thing I do is scan all my friends Tweets, looking for anything interesting, funny, or noteworthy in any way. I have found a lot of great tips, websites, quotes, and other ideas just through scanning this column. If I find something I really like I will re-tweet it. TweetDeck makes it easy, all I have to do is hover my mouse over their profile pic, and it gives me the option of reply, re-tweet, direct message, or favorite their Tweet.
Replies. This columns displays all replies to me personally, as well as any re-tweets. I always Direct Message those that re-tweet my stuff, thanking them for the re-tweet. I don’t usually reply, as that would appear in my Twitter stream, and I have my personal Twitter presence linked to my Facebook profile, so I don’t want to “clutter up” facebook with a ton of personal back and forth Tweets.
Direct Messages. Let’s face it, most of these are automated spam. I ignore those. But I do scroll through to find the “real” DM’s, and respond to those. Some people think Twitter is an online version of Instant messaging. It’s not. You don’t have to respond instantly to everything that’s sent to you. Don’t feel bad about responding to messages a few hours, or even days old. Twitter is a micro-blog, nobody should expect instant communication back.
Search. In this column I see results for any key term I’m interested in. I currently have the name of my company. If one of our affiliates is sending out a Tweet about it, I will often re-tweet their message, exposing their link to all of my followers, and letting them know I appreciate their referrals. Other mentions include simple things like, “Listening to a training by…” and I respond to those too. Any publicity is good publicity, so I try to thank anybody who’s putting in a good word for what we’re doing.
The key is to be consistent, and to use TweetDeck as a part of your overall Twitter strategy, helping you drive traffic, build relationships, and stay in touch with prospects and clients.

Hi Danny-
Help promote others – retweet valuable information, call out your favorite Twitterers by their Twitter name.
Here are my best tips:
1) Do not be too "salesy". Be conversational and occasionally you can work in something promotional.
2) Mix business with personal. No one wants to hear about business all of the time.
3) Regularly post to Twitter – at least once a day.
4) On the flip side, don't post too much. No more than 1-2 hour or you will annoy people.
5) Provide good information (articles, tips, advice) so people will want to follow you.
6) Be engaging – answer questions, ask questions, respond to people
7) Be polite – thank people when they retweet you or recommend you as someone to follow.
Hope that helps!

It takes time to build up a Twitter account, but if you do it properly you can achieve some great results.
You should target two types of individuals for your account. Individuals who are following cleaning-based Twitter accounts (offering cleaning advice) and Twitter accounts focused on your particular region. I would focus more on the region as your service can be utilized by pretty much anyone. If you cater to a state, search for that state on twitter (same thing if you only cater to a particular city). Look at their followers, and start following them. Why? Say for instance you only cater to people in Reno, Nevada. If you find a Twitter account that tweets about Reno News, their followers are most likely located within the Reno. Therefore, you'd want to follow these individuals.
A couple of other pieces of advice…
Send a direct message to all of your new followers (thank them for following you and provide a call to action such as a discount or an overview of your services).
Join WeFollow and MrTweet (Twitter directories)..great for more exposure
Include the fact that you are a local business within your profile.
The direct messages will help to turn these followers into lead (especially if you're offering some type of incentive). It can take time to get sales from Twitter so tweet frequently, keep your followers entertained, and make sure they stick around so when they do decide to use a cleaning service they'll think of you.
Any other questions feel free to private message me at primevisibility@ymail.com.

I use a variety of free and paid for Twitter tools. To Find and Follow a user that is active in a specific niche, I use TwitSeeker. To create a Tweet to that will post to Twitter at a predetermined time, I use TwAitter. To Find a user and then Follow their Followers, I use a tool called LabTweets. This tool is a desktop application (install once, use if forever) is nice because it let's me not only find users on Twitter that I want to Follow, but also Follow their Followers which I find very useful, especially since they are apt to be receptive to my Tweets, since they are active in niche markets I am also.

I have been on Twitter for about 8 months now but I don't do much marketing per say on it. I actually follow Matt Bacak and his work and I have learned from him that marketing on Twitter is not as effective as people think it is. There are so many people that claim that social media increases income and is such a great marketing tool, but being on Twitter I have not seen the income I have generated come from that site. My income still comes from my mailing list and organic traffic.
According to Matt Bacak, Twitter is a good networking tool, but the fundamentals like article marketing and pay-per-click are the marketing tools that are going to get you the money. I usually use Twitter to make networking connections for jobs and things of that nature or find new people to follow that are interesting, whether for personal or professional reasons.
My Twitter is not for marketing at all and it is definitely ok that you don't have a Twitter account. I would check out what Matt Bacak says about marketing on Twitter (www.mattbacak.com) as it makes so much sense when he says to stick to the basics and you will see money.
