    Hi everyone,

    A good pal of mine, product creation and training specialist Kevin Riley, has just released a free report into using Twitter effectively and sensibly for promoting online and offline businesses.

    Are you making the most of Twitter? Have you maybe thought about using it but was unsure of the best way of approaching a Twitter campaign?

    Like I said, it is a free report, so it costs nothing to find out Kevin's take on Twitter.

    Yesterday I saw someone was using Twitter in PowerPoint. That's a really interesting story. And last week I came acorss Mashable and found people talking about how to use Twittertranslater to boost their micro blog in over 50 languages.

    Think over it and you will get more ideas.

    Twitter is being explored by marketers more and more because its free and can be very effective.....providing it is used correctly.

    Thats where this report comes in. Basically people who do not 'get' Twitter just yet or who think it is just a time suck or a geek thing, will get a few nice surprises. :)

    Thanks for the report Barrywiki, I've just started using twitter and glad I have. I was one of the people who thought twitter was just a waste of time because you can stay on there forever but now I'm starting to learn how to utilize it, you should share information that is relevant and will interest your target audience. Follow people that interest you and usually they will follow you.

    Twitter is really good for you traffic if you use it well, but it wont help your SERPs since all the Twitter links are no follow.

    yes i was using twitter pretty agressive and made good money but lets be honest. it doesnt take so long till the twitter hype is over. it will be overspamed soon and the twitter community gets bigger and bigger everyday that it makes it nearly impossible to check all and everything in the future.
    i wont say a time but time will show...

    So, how do I go about gaining more followers. I think at last count I have just over 200, with a good chunk of them being spammers.

    Thoughts?

    But now there are more and more spams in Twitter. Everyone is trying to use Twitter for business purpose, even very good posts contain tricky ads. Sometimes very disturbing spams even adult contents make Twitter polluted. Yes Twitter is a great tool for marketing.
