    If you have a blog link your blog rss feed to your facebook wall page using the notes app >> then link your facebook wall page to your twitter account.

    Everytime you send out a post on your blog it will goto facebook and twitter......

    Hi - There are lots of ways to achieve that. But, first you need lot of followers on Twitter and a wide friends base on Facebook. So, work on that first,then posting on wall,sending tweets etc, would do the trick

      First off start building a following on Twitter and add friends on facebook.

      Make sure you target your friends and followers. Find people who have the same interest.

      Better yet find someone with the same concerns as you.

      So first set up your profile and add your link.

      Next go to the twitter search bar where it says find on twitter.

      You can find this feature on top bar of your profile.

      So if your blog or site is about Getting Traffic.

      You can type in the search Website Traffic or Get Traffic.

      This will display everyone on twitter related to Website Traffic.

      You can refine your search also by adding a how to. This is more targeted if your trying to sell them something in the future.

      Then just start following people.

      I would stick with only following 50-75 people a day. Twitter will ban you for going overboard.

      Next thing you can do is display your rss feed to twitter and facebook.

      Finally you will want to be active. (This Is A Very Important Step) With out this step your just wasting your time.

      Don’t just use Twitter to promote your blog and ask followers to visit it directly or indirectly but you must be active too, respond their messages and get involved in discussion your followers make. This will build tight bond between you and your followers.

      Of course this isnt everything but these are some of the basics.

    I have just started a twitter account and am going to try to build up my list. Great thoughts and ideas. I am definitely marking this to come back to after I have a few thousand followers.

    There is a service that can help you with that, the website name is socialoomph.com. They have a free option that is pretty good( good enough for me)

    And never forget: People voluntarily follow others whom they find interesting.

    I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed. And the number of times I succeed Is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying.

    How Many Twitter 'Followers' do You Have?
    --------------------------------
    If you have around 20,000 followers, Over half probably have not 'tweeted' in over 6 months. I assume the real world called and they went. over ½ of blogs (and web sites over all) appear to last less than 6 months to a year before they are abandoned. Same appears to be true with twitter accounts. It is said there are over 200,000 blogs on the net, yet 3/4ths of them have not had a post on them in 3-6 months. So do they count? If 3/4ths of my followers have not logged in for 30 days, do I really have 20,000 followers? (Or just empty accounts 'following me?) So even if you get a million followers in a month, within 6 months most have stopped logging in so don't read your messages anyway.
    --------------------------------
    So while Twitter says they have over 6 million users, what they mean is they have over 6 million accounts. I doubt there is much more than a million 'users'. Paying to get users or joining programs to get them seems like a temporary way to get a message out at best. In a short time, it is only mostly accounts that are 'following' you, not people. When I check the stats of my followers on an account a little over a year old, 3/4ths of them have not even logged into their accounts in over 30 days and ½ over 3 months ago (A lot haven't 'tweeted' for 6-12 months!). It is mostly smoke and mirrors, it would appear.
    ------------------------------------
    Better to have a small number of followers and if what you say is interesting enough, they may bother to log in to read it. If not, then it is just empty accounts following you as Twitter apparently never deletes abandoned accounts, (although they clain they do after 6 months of inactivity). Just ones that someone takes the time to delete themselves. Even then the count shows up under your 'followers' for 30 more days.
    -------------------------------------
    Of course, just like web sites and blogs, some will probably be around a while, but as with web sites and blogs, those appear to be the minority. (Except where you have a small intimate and like minded following and you create a value that is enough for followers to log in to read.)
    -------------------------------------
    Of course, each of my 3 dogs has there own account! They just tweet inspirational or funny sayings. (You know how dogs can be. ) When Dempsey passed I 'told' his followers through tweets. I got over 100 pleas to not delete his account as they liked his dog wisdom and humor. (As well as even more sympathy messages). So I guess there is no telling. Dempsey still has his account as a result. Sometimes other dogs come by and 'sniff his butt' as well. So now you know I am nuts, (as if you didn't).
    -------------------------------------
    Anyway, Twitter is an interesting experiment in micro blogging in spite of the fact it is mostly abused by those that do not understand marketing well. There are gems that can be gleaned, even from seemingly large followings that have been invaded by auto-marketers, (which must work enough that it is being done... so in a way, if that turns us off, we have no one to blame but ourselves; or at least those that are buying from them. Besides, buying 'stuff' does make the world go around and creating a micro blogging platform is almost perfect for that method. Could be that was what it's original intention might have been?)

    Hope you enjoyed the ramble

      Many people have, but I wouldn't advice that, conversion rates are not that great, better yet offer something free and send them to your blog/squeeze page and then monetize them selling them clickbank stuff.
