Share the wealth! Help oth­ers by giv­ing some advice

September 23rd, 2009

Help begin­ning mar­keters in need and con­tribute to The CodeTree’s FREE up and com­ing seg­ment on Inter­net Marketing!

The last thing this world needs is another per­son to read a, ‘get rich with Google’ ad and then get the bright idea to setup a dead blog that just syn­di­cates the blog of some­one else and then spams the crap out of twit­ter. I mean really … we have enough of that already and it just makes it that much more dif­fi­cult for real mar­keters to gain credibility.

How suc­cess works

I am a firm believer that a person’s own suc­cess is achieved through the suc­cess of oth­ers.  In other words, you have to give some­thing to get some­thing. If you enable some­one else to have suc­cess or con­tribute to their suc­cess in some man­ner, per­sonal suc­cess will fall upon you. Call it Karma or what­ever you like but I have seen it work count­less times includ­ing in my own per­sonal busi­nesses. You gain cred­i­bil­ity and vis­i­bil­ity the more you help oth­ers suc­ceeds which directly feeds your success.

The Chal­lenge

I want you to have a chance to help your fel­low mar­keter by shar­ing some advice, tips, com­mon mis­takes, pit­falls … etc.  The Code­Tree will be run­ning a seg­ment in Novem­ber of 2009 that selected entries and sub­mis­sions will be included in and will be dis­played right here on The Code­Tree blog for the entire Inter­net to read! I’m not sug­gest­ing that you give your best stuff away, just some good solid advice that could poten­tially help a begin­ning mar­keter.  All con­trib­u­tors will get links back and a short sig­na­ture line. This is a great way to increase your per­sonal brand expo­sure as a mar­ket­ing authority!

The details

Send all cor­re­spon­dence and con­tri­bu­tions to ryan@mycodetree.com. You can also fol­low @rthconsultants on Twit­ter or find me on Face­book. All entries may not be selected due to time or space con­straints. Each con­trib­u­tor will be noti­fied of their entry’s accep­tance or denial.  Addi­tion­ally, all con­trib­u­tors will be given the oppor­tu­nity to approve their entry post edit and prior to going live on the Internet.

How to increase your twit­ter presence

September 23rd, 2009

Twit­ter has mas­sive poten­tial as a mar­ket­ing tool, know­ing how to use it and when to use it can deliver results to you like no other! Check out these tips below for some great advice on increas­ing your twit­ter exposure!

  1. Explain to your fol­low­ers what retweet­ing is and encour­age them to retweet your links. Retweet­ing pushes your @username into for­eign social graphs, result­ing in clicks back to your pro­file. Track your retweets using retweetist.
  2. Fill out your bio. Your lat­est tweets and @replies don’t mean much to some­one that doesn’t know you. Your bio is the only place you have to tell peo­ple who you are. Also, your bio is dis­played on Twitter’s Sug­gested Users page. Leav­ing it blank or non-descriptive doesn’t encour­age peo­ple to add you.
  3. As @garyvee  says, “link it up.” Put links to your Twit­ter pro­file every­where. Link it on your Digg, LinkedIn, Face­book, blog, email sig­na­ture, and every­where else you live online. Also, check out the great feedburner-like badges from Twit­ter­Counter for your blog.
  4. Tweet about your pas­sions in life and #hash tag them. Qual­ity con­tent cou­pled with an easy way to find it never fails. If oth­ers enjoy your con­tent, they’ll add you. Learn more about #hash tag­ging here.
  5. Bring your twit­ter account into the phys­i­cal world. Every time I give a talk, speak on a panel, shoot a pod­cast, present slides, or hand out busi­ness cards, I fig­ure out a way to broad­cast or dis­play my twit­ter account.
