Today recaps our 7 part series on The "Top 7 Reasons to Repurpose Your Presentations on Twitter". Do these small things and you will increase your traffic, reach more prospects and connect with your market.
Reason 1 – It's Social – One of the rules in a Social Network (SN) is to be 80% social and 20% informative. Twitter is one SN where your current customers and potential customers can learn to “know, like and trust” you. When you are being helpful with your presentations and articles you are also being social, and as you are being social you are also marketing and informing.
Reason 2 – Extends Your Reach – Extending your reach means to get your marketing message and influence in front of as many eyes and warm bodies as possible. When you tweet your presentations and articles on Twitter, you are not only reaching those who are following you, you are also reaching everyone that follows each person who follows you. We call that Compounding Social Networking and that can happen when someone Re-Tweets (RT) your information to their SN group.
Reason 3 – It’s Present Marketing – In many ways Twitter is like Instant Marketing Messaging – you get an instant response from many people who are using Twitter at that point in time. Many internet marketers are beginning to notice that their Twitter list is many times more responsive than their email list.
Reason 4 – Gives You Expert Status – Mentioning your presentations and articles and using them to answer questions increases your expert status in the eyes of the tweeting public. And with some of the latest tracking services you can find out what people are responding to. Because this is a new frontier, there is still time for the majority of you to get in and establish your expert status in your niche.
Reason 5 – Spread The Word – If you send out more than one email message a day to your list, people will unsubscribe in droves. With Twitter you can send out multiple 140-character tweets (which contain marketing and informational tips) in one day. In fact, we encourage you to, because your followers are on at different times throughout the day. And don’t forget they are also on different time zones as well. People can choose not to follow you, but we have found those numbers to be quite low.
Reason 6 – Be Helpful – "People don't care how much you know–until they know how much you care." ~ John Maxwell. So when you are having conversations in Twitter and you see a question where one of your presentations or articles could help, you are being very helpful to someone when you refer them to your information. How's that for increasing your "know, like and trust" factor?
Reason 7 – It's Automatic – You can set up your blog to automatically tweet your blog post titles (which contain your presentations) to Twitter. If you have an EzineArticles.com account, you can also automatically repurpose your brand new articles (about your presentations) onto Twitter as well. So when your blog and/or article is publishing, it will automatically show up on Twitter without you having to lift a finger. That is magic!

This is how Social Networking using Twitter gave us a warm, fuzzy feeling as well as some warm jackets…
To get the full details on how we got these wonderful Ezine Articles jackets please read this post here.
In a nutshell, we were tweeting about how Ezine Articles was going to give their authors with 5000 followers a jacket. We made a comment (tweet) about how Ezine Articles was allowing their authors to automaticlly post their approved articles to twitter.
You can check this out at Twitter.EzineArticles.com. We are in the Top 10 followers with published articles.
EzineArticles.com raised a challenge to its authors to have 5,000 followers on Twitter before the end of 2008. The reward? A very warm Ezine Articles fleece jacket!
Here we are in the front of our house with our brand new Ezine Article jackets from Chris Knight and the Ezine Article team. We are having a chinook today, it's (-0c/32f), but we are having winds of 39km/h (24m/h) and wind gusts of 50km/h (30m/h).
Those white streaks in front of us is the blizzard that was occuring at that time.
So thanks to Chris Knight, the Ezine Article team, and of course you our followers; without you this would not have been possible. But it also shows you the power of social networking. Thanks to all of you.
– Pat & Lorna
P.S. They are very, very warm!!!

EzineArticles.com raised a challenge to its authors to have 5,000 followers on Twitter before the end of 2008. The reward? A very warm Ezine Articles fleece jacket!
With only about two weeks left in the year, we were about 590 followers short of that target. And… with the temperatures hanging around the -25 degree Celsius (-10 degree Farenheit) mark, those fleece jackets were looking very inviting!
So, feeling motivated (and cold), we sent out a few messages on Twitter asking others to help us reach the 5,000 follower mark.
Wow! We were blown away with the results! In a few short days we reached our goal. And now, with two days left in the year, we have a grand total of 5,584 followers.
Previous to sending those messages our followers list did not grow anywhere near that quickly. It was, in our opinion, a miracle… or at the very least, a huge learning.
It was solid proof to us that there is power in social networking. Think about it, if it worked this well to increase follower numbers, what else could be accomplished? Anything! There is power in numbers and in people working towards a common goal. All it takes is someone to ask for help or raise a challenge that others believe in.
To answer a much-asked question… can social networking help your business? We believe it can. There is a lot of help and support available through the social networking channels.
But one last word… karma. You can only get out of something what you put in. By being involved in social networking and by offering your help and support, you may be pleasantly surprised what will be available for you when you ask.
