An original post by Keith! I think it’s one of the best guide to someone who doesn’t know what Twitter is!

Twitter is hard to explain to those that aren’t using it.  For a long time I have avoided sites like MySpace and Facebook but I’ve always had a blog, a cell phone, and email.  Those three items made me feel connected.  If I had something to say, I’d blog it.  If someone wanted to reach me electronically they could send a text message or email.  Lastly they could just call me.  Little did I realize how disconnected I was until later on.  It took Twitter to really show me how disconnected I was.  After becoming a Twitter fan I started to spread the word.  Some people I convinced to start using it.  Others are still holding out.  Maybe this will be enough to put them over the edge.

Not Until They Use It

I remember when I first told Alan Stevens about Twitter.Com.  He reluctantly joined and said "oh great, another social networking site".  It wasn’t long until he started to see Twitter’s potential though.  Alan’s first tweet was on Oct. 25th at 11:04 PM.  About a day later he said this and as we can see he was starting to get it and work his way through it.

Title is one of the most important factors to consider when writing a post. Only your title can determine whether your visitors will read your post or not. There are several ways that your post could be stumble upon – may be via search engine, RSS feeds, link from other post or could be via social media sites. So only an effective title would grab people’s attention and can be reason to read it. That’s the reason you must spend some time thinking on how you can make your title special. All your effort of writing post may go for toss if you don’t have an effective title!

·         Benefit – Your title must tell readers that there is a benefit of reading the post.

·         Controversy – Reader usually get excited to read the post that has some kind controversy or debate. Although not suitable for all blog post!

·         Question – Any title that has question will entice reader to visit and check the post and even comment on the same.

·         Personalization – Most of the post that is personalized works best. For example using “I” and “You” have great impact on visitors.

·         Keywords – Don’t forget search engines, though you write only for readers it is search engine that will help you drive traffic. So use keywords in the title.

·         Impressive words – Words like ‘Interesting’, ‘Secrets’, ‘Tips’, ‘Warning’, ‘easy’ will encourage readers to check the post and more likely to come back if the post is really useful.

·         Funny – Don’t use funny titles if they leave your reader only confused. But works great if they are just funny and give readers a smile!

Just take your time to write blog titles. The most time you spend on getting the title, the more effective your title will be. Don’t just post the title that comes in your brain first.

I’m a newbie of Twitter. Frankly when I first heard about it, “Oh another Social Networking site”? Isn’t Facebook enough? That’s what I felt. Then one of my friend shared an interesting video (Twitter in Plain English) about Twitter and I was amazed by the way it works. If you are a newbie of Twitter then read on, this will help. It is as simple as “what you are doing currently”. Yes, Twitter allows you to post a one-liner message about what you are doing presently with the word limit of 140 characters. Once you post your message there are lot of Twitter master to check what you are up to. So, what is the difference between Twitter and Facebook, well, I think Facebook is for your personal friends and Twitter is widespread to your online friends. More to discover though! I was hooked by the way I can show the world that I had a cup of coffee ;-)

Just a few years ago you would not have even heard about “Weblogs”, but they are everywhere now. Blogs have become very influential components when it comes to Internet and the vitality keeps moving exponentially. They are used as tools for generating online groups of people with have same interest, where they can also discuss their thoughts and ideas. Others may have a personal log which records individual’s activities and opinions. Whatever could be the reason of having a weblog; it is important to improve the performance. Just have a look at some of the easy ways below that can help you perk up your blog’s performance:

1. Plan Everything: You first need to have everything planned for your blog. Know what are the marketing strategies that would work, plan what would be your next blog post, and most importantly get prepared for surprising stuff as well. If you lose up on planning, then there is risk involved on all aspect you do to your blog.

2. Mind Your Goals: We usually have to set up goals before starting a web log and once you are done with that watch your target always. If you lose to contemplate your goals then you are sure to miss out all that you planned for the log.

3. Focus On Human Visitors: Don’t make the repeated mistake of writing for search engine to achieve high ranking that most blogger do. It’s a stupid idea to just stuff keywords around the corner to impress search engine, just write for human visitors that would automatically bring traffic to your site.

4. New Stratagems Are Mandatory: As a website/blog owner you should never think that your blog is doing ok and you need not try different methods to improve it. Always go with trying new stratagems, who knows what may work for you best. It is possible that not every strategy you try may work, but nothing wrong in having an attempt.

5. SEO Does Matter: You may have heard not to do much of SEO for the site, but then as long as you are do some basic methods on your site, I believe it would work great. Not much, but at least do title and Meta tags and Meta keywords. You can also do periodic article and directory submission. 

6. Reply To Comments Received: Keep in mind to reply to every decent comment you receive on your blog. Don’t miss out especially if the reader have some suggestion or has special request from your site. By replying to comments you are only building your group that has the potentials to perk up your blog.

7. Visit Others Blog: Develop the habit of reading others blogs. Whatever you write in your blog post are the ideas that developed from reading only. Just like how you offer RSS feeds to others also do subscribe to the RSS feeds of their blogs. So keep reading and learning new things from others too.

8. Back Up Post: It is very important to have one or two backup post ready for blog. Frequency of posting is must if you want your blog live longer in the industry. You may not have time to write a blog for say about two day, at that time such ready blog would save you!

9. Unique Post: Further it is always good to write unique post than to write on the same topic over and again. Even if you have specific niche to write about go for diversified blog that would impress the reader. Cover the entire niche you have in your website/blog, you would surely have lot to write about!

10. Make Friends: Making new friends and maintaining exiting friends online is very significant. It will certainly make new community via your blog, but also find some way to list yourself. Twitter is the one of the trendy way not only to make friends, but also to advertise their blog!
