I am a super Twitter junkie. When I am on, I can’t stop using Twitter. I usually post the most interesting article using Tweet Bar, and I take time to respond to others and really participate in the Twitter community. But it’s amazing that a lot of folks still don’t rate Twitter highly. I have talked to many people who find Twitter to be a waste of time. They feel Twitter is all about posting 140 characters about what you are eating or what you are doing. When I explain to people that Twitter is much more than telling others what food you eat or what you are doing this very minute, they look surprised and don’t want to buy it. Let’s face it. Twitter is not like anything we have seen before. It’s a real community of folks who are constantly sharing information and networking with each other. It’s not a one to many communication channel like e-mail.

Once I heard what others had to say about Twitter, I decided to write an e-book about it. I thought it’d take me a couple of weeks to write a comprehensive ebook on what you can do with Twitter. Not surprisingly, someone else beat me to it. The folks behind Twitter Traffic Exposed have created a comprehensive Twitter course that every newbie and experienced Tweeter should read to get more out of Twitter.

In order to get the most out of Twitter, you need to understand what the community is about, how you should go about providing value, and how to effectively network with other top Tweeters. Whether you are a business owner hoping to enhance your Twitter presence or an individual looking to dominate this community, Twitter Traffic has something for you. Here are my thoughts after reviewing this course:

  • Business: I thought the business tips in this course were excellent. A lot of businesses that I talk to have no idea how to use Twitter. You are going to learn how to do market research, follow the right people, and push your business on Twitter without sounding like a spammer.
  • Trends: if you are a niche marketer, you are going to learn how to conduct market analysis and find new hot niches right on Twitter. Twitter search is one powerful tool. Add to that all the tools that are built upon Twitter API, and you have everything you need to find and dominate hot new niches.
  • Twitter Automation: in general, I am against automation of social media related tasks. But some things should indeed be automated. Let’s say you are being followed by 25,000 folks. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you try to send a welcome message to all these guys by hand. If you have time to do it great, but my suspicion is that you won’t have enough time to catch up with all those folks.
  • Twitter Mistakes: you can’t possibly dominate Twitter if you don’t know what turns people off on Twitter. Every community has its own set of etiquette, and Twitter is no exception. By avoiding not-so-obvious mistakes on Twitter, you can avoid hurting your reputation on Twitter.
  • Branding: believe it or not, it’s possible to create a killer brand with Twitter. You just have to learn what to do and not to do to push your brand to the next level and gather thousands of loyal followers.
  • Extras: a lot of folks have trouble setting up their accounts or choosing the right background for their Twitter accounts. I liked the free backgrounds that you get with this package. You also get a free friend adder, which I didn’t like as I don’t like to automate that process.

Verdict: A-. Twitter Traffic Exposed is a beginner-intermediate Twitter course for businesses and individuals interested in getting more from Twitter. You are going to learn a lot of tips that help you set up your account and get your feet wet with Twitter. But you’ve got to actually put time to play with Twitter. You can’t automate everything.
