My favourite Newsletter system, Aweber, has introduced a fabulous new feature that will allow you to re-publish your newsletter on to Twitter automatically.
This means each time you publish your newsletter you can publish it onto your Twitter feed as well. Your Twitter followers would be notified and a link is provided for them to view your newsletter (saved on Aweber). This is a fantastic way to get more leverage out of your newsletters and put your newsletters in front of your Twitter followers (in case they aren’t already newsletter subscribers).
So how do you set this up? It’s simple. Each time you set up your newsletter click “syndicate” then enter your Twitter id and password. Once your newsletter is published a message on your Twitter page appears.
Example: Latest Newsletter Issue 32 http://aweber.com/b/f2RG

Last week I wrote a post called “What is Twitter and Why do I want to Tweet?“. This week, I’ve got a little tip for you. I have always suggested that you buy the website of your name ie. www.MarySmith.com. Why? Because you want to get your hands on it before someone with your same name grabs it. You never know what they will do with it once they have it and it could potentially be damaging to your brand and your company. Seriously, I’ve heard a few bad stories. 
Now with Twitter you get your own page on www.twitter.com, such as www.twitter.com/techcoach, where you can find me on Twitter. So you can imagine how quick companys such as CNN, www.twitter.com/cnn, Yahoo, www.twitter.com/yahoo and WordPress, www.twitter.com/WordPress moved quickly to get their Twitter accounts and pages. In fact, if you take a look at www.twitter.com/iPod you’ll find that this account is for sale!
So, if you haven’t signed up for your Twitter account yet, get on it…it’s free!
Register the following user accounts on Twitter to cover yourself and your business:
- your full name
- your business name
- your book name
- your other websites addresses (I’ve registered www.twitter.com/wpblogsites where I will be promoting my book)
- any trademark names you have
- your children’s names…why not!?

Twitter is a micro-blogging and social networking service that allows you to post your updates (known as “tweets”) and read other’s updates.
Say that again? Twitter allows you to post mini blog postings (no more than 140 characters) that describes what you are up to. The limit of 140 characters keeps you from telling a huge story and keeps you focused on writing the details only. So you may say something like “Reading the latest Seth Godin book”, “Adding blog posts to my blogsite www.wordpressblogsites.com” or “Getting ready for my appearance on Oprah.”
Why would you want to tweet? Well there are a number of reasons, here are just a few:
- Attract new fans who are twitterites.
- Allow your fans to see what it is you are up to and keep them posted on your new services (yes you can market your products and services on Twitter).
- Google picks up Twitter posts in a matter of minutes and places them in their list! (Hello! You want to be on Google right?!)
- Connect with other Twitters by “following” them (sounds creepy but it just means that their updates will appear on your Twitter page so you can keep up with them).
- You can reply to other Twitters’ posts or ask your own questions and get other’s responses.
Your homework:
- Register for a Twitter account if you don’t have one already www.Twitter.com
- Start adding people to your “Following” list by searching or going to their profile and clicking “follow”. You can “follow” me at http://www.twitter.com/techcoach
- Stay tuned for more Twitter tips!!
