Unless you are brand new to the World Wide Web, you will have heard of Twitter. As one of the most prominent social media locations on the internet, it’s become a primary part of people’s personal and social lives. More important for you, though, it’s become a key source of online traffic and revenue generation for businesses and bloggers alike.

Since it’s such a simple platform to operate and gain followers through, you can really start to ramp up the amount of people who are listening to what you have to say and visiting your blog just by using Twitter.

However, like anything else, it needs a fair bit of word and preparation to get the most out of. Here are five Twitter marketing tips for bloggers who want more readers and more sales as soon as they can;

Conservative Hashtags Win the Day

The last thing that you want to do is become full of just hashtags tweets; you’ll stop posting anything of value and become a person that people simply scroll past eventually. Make sure that your hashtags are actually relevant, well researched, and work within what you are tweeting appropriately.

It can take a bit of work but it’s definitely worth taking the time to do; relevant hashtags are far more likely to be useful for catching the attention of others, rather than the scattergun approach that some will go with.

FollowBack

Using the parameters of Twitters search function you can find people related to your business and your concept, and start following them. They’ll naturally take a look at who you are and, if they like what they see, will likely start following back. This can be a good way to build up followers who are interested in what you are saying, increasing their chances of sticking around.

Get Local

Instead of just overloading people with information, you can use Twitter to be a fair bit more casual and nuanced than this. Your local area will probably be quite heavily populated on Twitter so it can be a smart idea to start looking for local based people and following them, too. This will start to get people talking about you as it’s more likely they’ll be interested in you if you come from five minutes away rather than five countries!

Edit your Trends

Ensure that you are using the Trending section on Twitter to the best of your ability; you can tailor what is going to appear in here. By getting trends based around what you are involved in you can give yourself plenty of ideas for promotions, competitions, content and much more!

Detail the Profile

Last but not least, make sure you have a profile that looks the part – include your niche in the Twitter bio for a start, and even try and fit it into your actual Twitter handle. Having relevant niche keywords in here can be outstanding for people coming across you inadvertently, helping you fast-track the usually slow burning build-up of followers.

Which Links Should You Disavow?

In the past the more links that you had pointing to your website, the more chance you had of climbing up the search engine ranking page. Back when the search engine spiders were not all that sophisticated you would find that any link would do. It could be from any site in the world, sometimes not even related to the content of your website, and you would be fine. It was all about the quantity. As you can probably guess though; this is not a good method. After all; anybody out there could spam links. This would lead to incredibly poor content at the top of the searches. This is why the search engines needed to make changes. Nowadays you can receive a penalty in the rankings if you are linked to by far too many sites not related to your niche. This basically means that you will find it difficult to climb ‘up’. Thankfully Google has developed a tool, known as the disavow tool, which will allow you to instruct Google to ‘ignore’ certain links which point to your website (you can access this tool through Google Webmaster Tools). On this page I want to talk to you a little bit about what type of links you should be disavowing through that nifty little tool.

There is one rule related to links that you should disavow. The only toxic links are those which are not related to the content of your website. For example; if you run a website that sells power tools then it is not ideal to have a website that talks about learning Swedish pointing towards you. It makes absolutely no sense. In the eyes of Google, and the other search engines for that matter, this indicates link spam. Absolutely nobody likes link spam. The only websites that should be pointing towards your site are those which have some sort of relevancy to the content that you post. You should also disavow any links which come from link farms. As you may well know; link farms are vast collections of links often put together with the sole purpose of boosting a site’s position in the search engines. These link farms are quite often not categorized and are simply just a huge page with tons of links on them.

It is important to remember that you should never use the disavow tool without getting in touch with the webmaster of the site that hosts your link first. This is not only common courtesy but it is something which Google actively advises people to think about. You should give the webmaster about a week to respond to you before you decide to use the disavow tool.

Remember; you should regularly check your link profile to ensure that there are no toxic links pointing towards your website. If there are; make sure that you run them through the disavow tool as quickly as possible (after getting in touch with the webmaster in question of course)

Next,

Many people have stated they have trouble understanding and using the Disavow Tool. It is a valuable tool and I recommend exploring information online which will show you step-by-step how to use the tool to disavow links. If you do a quick search online, you’ll be able to find video and text tutorials that are available FREE. When I first started, I used a cool guide by Neil Patel on QuickSprout.com. For those of you who need to know when and how to use the Google Disavow tool I recommend taking a quick look. Here’s something else.... Once you’ve made use of the tool a few times then you’ll have NO problems implementing it into your monthly disavow routine going forward. It’s a value tool to remove spam backlinks from your profile which otherwise would hurt your rankings within the SERP’s.

Translating Your Content Into Something Special!

It’s no secret that content is what drives the internet and having an abundance of valuable content can make you stand out from the crowd of people. Your going to have competition which is way it’s important to ensure you have the right topics and are quickly producing effective content. Many people fail before they even write content since they don’t have the right tools to map out what they are going to write about. If you can create a solid outline of what you need to do then your going to have a easier time creating content which is of value. Next,

There are many different approaches people use to creating an outline. Even though people are effective using their on approach, I like to use something known as mind mapping. This allows me to know exactly what I’m going to be doing without writing out an outline. The time I save from not having to write out an outline can be used to effective write out my content making it longer and more in-depth.

What is mind mapping?

It’s the process of drawing out your idea’s within your mind and not having to write them down. You’ll map out the layout, colors, content, images, videos and infographics. This, for some, might take some time, but once you get in the habit you’ll be able to outline your content as soon as you think about it.

Here are some cool ways to start incorporating mind mapping into your content marketing...

Get Into The Mind Frame

The first step is to get into the right mind frame which means to train yourself into checking inside and not on paper. This does take some time however an effective strategy is the following. Start by dividing up the elements only think about small elements at a time. When you can create that element within your mind and don’t need to write it on paper, you can move onto the next. For example,

Start by thinking about how you’ll organize the images then how you can use videos within your content, etc. After, you can move onto the next step.

Use Effective Tools

There are tools available for all types of objectives even mind mapping so try and use online tools which will help streamline the entire process. For example, Mashable.com published a great post on 24 essential mind mapping tools which you can make use of right away. These tools will help you get used to visualizing the content before putting the final draft on paper. It’s all about producing the most effective content before your competition. Next,

If you are writing about trends within your niche, writing content before anyone else is important so learn how to implement these tools into your content creation strategy.

Start in Middle

One of the best strategies I’ve used to conquer mind-mapping is to always start in the middle because you can expand in all directions. If you start in different area’s how might be stuck on that idea. For example, if my keyword or topic I would like to write about is “link building” then I should start to expand in all directions from this keyword. If I start from “article directories” as a link building technique then I might shift my focus to only this strategy narrowing the scope at which I can expand.

When trying to come up with the right mapping pattern always start in the place where you can expand the most which involves working from the main “keyword” outwards. Using this pattern will also help you visual and adopt the mind mapping pattern more quickly.
